A bedraggled boy lugging a heavy bag full of muddy clothes arrived home safely after a wet and tiring week. After a long soak in a deep bubble bath, dry clothes and having raided the fridge he's settled back in, familiar sounds fill the house again and it feels soooo good...
Both children have spread their wings this week and been brought back home at the end of their respective trips, I'm pleased to have them back and am pleased they have been away - I hope and pray that they will always feel they can come home - want to come home - and that home should be a place of refuge and comfort and love... a safe place just to be themselves...
No sooner than I had thought these thoughts than I am aware of a new shared file on my itunes... and much as I love my son, I don't always want to share his music, at least not quite so personally, on my ipod... as no doubt he wouldn't want to share mine...
Enquiries reveal that the shared file is from l*mewi*e where the two boys (R and friend) have been downloading free music... and attempting to download a music video ... but have inadvertently not only downloaded a semi n*ked video... but managed to share it with anyone on our extended network... R's laptop from school and our friends laptop next door included....
I can quite see how it happened, though not overly amused at it being shared so freely... we must secure our network soon...!
fortunately it was relatively easily sorted and a lesson learned... there was a degree of embarrassment by the boys - though whether it was because of the video content itself, or because I found out, remains to be seen....
We now have managed to separate his music from mine, and all is back on track...
Yes I missed him dreadfully - a whole week free from chaos and scrapes... it's what makes my world go round... :)

welcome home R! as long as it was only a 'semi- naked' video! oops. how verrrry embarrassing. one of those stories of growing up that will haunt him in family memoires forever... ;)that'll be one for the best man speech...
glad you've got them safely and lovingly restored to home, have a great weekend together
Glad he had such a wonderful time and that he's home safe and sound. ;c)
Thanks Caroline, we did have a great weekend and it was fantastic to have him home.
I think we managed to sort the video fairly quickly... and it could have been much worse... it was relatively tame but still not one to be broadcast around the network - Rob had his school laptop here too which would have been a little embarrassing... it will be stored as one to tell at an appropriately embarrassing time for him ;)
