Great policy guys

 I'm in the office today and am on a bank of 20 desks on my own.

Brilliant.

Appraisal

 In other work related news I had my annual appraisal with my boss this morning and it went well.  He's writing it up now but it's meet expectations in all categories except a couple where he is going to grade me higher.

It's been years since my last appraisal, my last role was also an FTC but I didn't have to do one.  Seems a bit pointless.

Wait and see

 I put my appeal in for the flexible working request yesterday, they had a meeting today to discuss, but not heard of any outcome just yet.  I guess they have to write it up.

Not bruised enough

 This is the state of my injured shoulder 5 days after the game.  All you can see is a slight greeny yellow discolouring. With the way it still hurts I was expecting much worse.

New car

 The new car arrived on Monday.  I had my first shot in it yesterday picking the kids from school.  It's lovely.  Will take a little time to get used to the size.  It just about fits on the drive...  Audi Q4 Etron.

Whoops

 I dropped my work laptop yesterday.  I was trying to get open a keyed access door but it wouldn't open so I moved to another scanner and tried that.  As I was switching hands I accidently dropped the laptop onto a tiled floor.  Oops!  It still works but have told IT and they're going to build me a new one.

Ribs and wings

 I made ribs and wings for the Clark family on Friday, Turned out well, although it turns out Arthur really doesn't like spicy food.  Whoops!

Christmas at the club

 On Sunday we had our annual Christmas party, the kids had a great time.  Pretty sure the coaches had fun too.  We ended up leaving at around 4:30 (11:10 start... urgh).  We then had one of the other families coming round ours for pizza in the evening.  It was a big one.  I love the new friends we've made at the club whilst coaching the minis.

Well fought win

We played Whitstable 2nds team on Saturday and it was a tough one.  Cobnditions were tough with lots of dropped balls.  We won 14-20, with all 4 of our tries flyinging down the wings in the corners.  The Whitstable lads were big but we outplayed them at rugby.  Great fun in the end.  I smashed their no. 8, their best player at the end of the first half with a terrific tackle.  He didn't come on in the second half, i'd like to think it was because he couldn't continue but I think his first team that were also at home needed some help as they were also getting beaten by Tunbridge Wells 2s.

 

Pitches moved on Sunday

 Change of pitch on Sunday!  Looks a bit damp to me!
