Whats coming up

Ive offered to look after Poppy on Friday for Laura and Shaun. Its Shauns leaving do in Colchester. No doubt lots of orange juice and lemonades..bit like me in Dublin....me being a teetotaller now! I dont think so!Really looking forward to it shes such a sweetie.
I think itll be my first revist of the crappy nappy change tho'.
Tom and Emma move into their new house in the Marina on Saturday next too so everyone is now sorted out and me and Gill will be like 2 peas rattling round. Madoc is going too...will really miss the banter we have particularly at dinner..hehe. Gill wont though, acting as referee on policing issues.
In my last week in the job Ive decided to finish it how Ive started it largely with a day walking on patrol with Scott in Eastbourne. I still remember driving to work for my first night there almost 30 years ago to join the section all full of trepidation but they were good guys..lets see if I can remember a few names..Alec Stanford, Chris Cragg, Dave Reade, Paul Cummings, Dave Bowley, John Lewis the very old style dinosaur Sgt who was Welsh! All finished 30 years too..it was a vocation/career then not like the 11 year average we now have.Sad.
Im also hoping to go Public Order training and have me and Tom petrol bombed ..must take my camera for some pics. Im also hoping to go on patrol with Tom and his dog. We did patrol together for a week in Brighton two years ago.I showed him how to do it! Haha no I didnt..he tutored me and made sure some of the old style traditional policing didnt emerge! It was excellent and made me proud that we did it together. Reminds me of the time I took L&T out to lunch when i was in charge of Eastbourne on a day off. I suggested post dinner that we walk in the town and Laura said 'only if u 2 dont start checking people'. 50 yards later Tom identified a Hastings main player who was wanted so the 3 of us arrested him after a foot follow in Seaside I do laugh. Tom ended up getting double time off my budget for RD . Me and Laura did it for the love of the job and all that.Tom sent me his statement which I was going to frame but sadly I have lost.Id really loved to have gone on patrol with Laura too but its not possible her being in the Met etc.
