One month till my birthday

 I'll be 46 next month.  Yes, I know it's hard to believe.  My bathroom scales think i'm 49.  Prick.

We're off to Fallow in the afternoon for my birthday

I follow the two head chefs on youtube and they've had a lot of positive reviews so thought i'd give it a go.  We're on the Chef's counter which means we'll get to see them all preparing the dishes.  Should be good fun.

As for presents, I have no idea.  I've probably said it on here before but i've probably got everything I want (within reason).  I don't want to get anything just for the sake of it but it's still nice to open a present or two on the day.

Pickled Ginger

Made this yesterday, I made some a couple of months ago but in a much smaller jar and it didn't last long.  Let's see how long this lasts.

Star wars viewing with the kids

I've been watching Star Wars with the kids these last few weeks and on Sunday we watched episode II (5 /9).  Looks like I fell asleep for part of it.  Thanks April.

Plants update

 Although short Arthur's sunflower has flowered.  We watered it again last night

Tomatoes are still going

My chilli plant has produced a chilli!  Not sure about the broccoli next to it, I don't think the pot is deep enough.

Last night's session

 Last night we cleared out a mansion of vampires and cultists.  Now only the basement to clear.  I wonder what we'll find in there.

Back to Vecna

 We're back to playing D&D after about a month off.  The GM has been busy with family stuff so we've been playing a quick short campaign whilst he was a away.  I was also off on holiday one week so hopefully we can have fun tonight.  It's in the pub so that should help.

We're now level 14.

Fastest 5km run

I ran a 5km run with Arwen this lunchtime. 29:48 seconds!

Nice country walk round Penshurst Place

 On Sunday morning we walked round Penshurst Place.  Kent really is a beautiful place.  Plenty of shit holes too mind.

Junior park run

In the rugby off season Flo's started up junior park run again.  Despite being another year older her times are actually getting worse.  She seems to be having trouble judging her pace and having to stop constantly.  I ran the last half a k with her on Sunday.  Next week i've said i'll run the lot with her to see if we can improve her time.

TJs win

 I played for TJs on Friday night in a charity game against an invitational team based of West Kent players from local rival clubs.  A handful of which I played with last year when I played for Leigh.

We had a squad of over 30 players, mostly kids but with a few old boys in there too.  I played around 30 mins.  It was good fun although very hot.  Other than being a little stiff, no injuries to speak of.
