Mind you, Arsenal have not been up to much in the transfer window so far.
Anyway, interesting day today.  As usual, paperwork in the morning and then home with the family.  We all did some DIY putting together a garden swing and then off to watch Monsters University.  The kids loved it, and while comedywise, Despicable Me 2 was better, I did like that the plot was not as predictable as I thought it would be, and I loved the messages that it gave, one being that you should make use of your differences.  And the other is that no matter how much you may want something, sometimes it is not just for you.  Which is not something you hear that often!

And later, on the way home we found a little boy.  He was walking towards a busy road when my wife noticed him.  We stopped him, phoned the police and waited for them to pick him up.  He did not speak much English and appeared about three.  A shaky event when you have two kids of your own, but things worked out okay as the PCSO's who collected him phoned us to let us know that he had been picked up by his parents.  Each had thought the other had him!
