D Day - Anniversary

I've just realised i completely missed this anniversary, I've had so many things buzzing around my mind recently that i really didn't even notice the sixth had been and gone.
So with a mind looking back now i'm just going to post a poem. Quite apt i feel, i found it posted on the BBC History websites.

Do not call me hero,
When you see the medals that I wear
Medals maketh not the hero,
They just prove that I was there.

Do not call me hero,
Now that I am old and grey,
I left a lad, returned a man,
They stole my youth that day.

Do not call me hero,
When we ran the wall of hail,
The blood, the fears, the cries, the tears
We left them where they fell.

Do not call me hero,
Each night I stop and pray,
For all the friends I knew and lost,
I survived my longest day.

Do not call me hero,
In the years that pass,
For all the real true heroes,
Have crosses, lined up on the grass.

By Rob Aitchison

To all those Veterans irrespective of nationality or the battles in which you fought.

Here's the semi finished pic!

As the title said, semi finished pic here. The wardrobe is behind the door. Just need to put the sheets on the cot and shove a couple of shelves up. After that we're done! Well with the exception of missing a baby to put in the room! Though it will actually be sleeping in our room for 6 months i'm led to believe the nursery is a necessity!

The morning before

Well this is what the nursery looked like this morning, very little done other than the painting, carpet and the curtains. The inlaws were up today though and finally the basics are up. The room isn't too big at all so it's impossible to show the whole room in one shot will post the semi finished pic later

Well the rooms still not finished!

The carpet stretching will be done tomorrow! (Which sounds like some bizarre sexual event that the lesser spotted female homosexual might be found engaging in) This in itself means that by the end of tomorrow the room should be completely done, possibly with the exception of shelves. This is because we have only really just decided that a bookshelf is necessary (Though considering the other halves trade it's really suprising it took us so long to settle on putting one up).
I've finally uploaded an image though viewers must take into account that the image is roughly 2 months old so the bumps is probably at least 1/3rd larger than it appears here.
I'll post an image of the room as soon as it's done

Can't stop to natter but

Oh my gosh! 3 weeks to go on Wednesday and she who must be obeyed finishes work the same day, so finally i will be able to relinquish control of the hoover for a wee while! (at least so i hope!)
It's all getting incredibly real and close now!
Just a quick note to say thanks for the snapvine message Kyle, "The Final Countdown" had me in stitches, though she didn't have a clue what the hell i found so funny.
I'll post a few pics of the nursery when it's completely finished. The carpet was laid on Sunday so it just needs a few days to bed in before it's stretched and cut again, then we can finally move the furniture in there.
I did pull a bunch of pics off my phone earlier but i've been informed i'm not allowed to upload a piccy of her she's feeling a little stressed over the size of the bump these days. sorry.. ;)

Anyway, i'll post another update soon
