My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)
Our baby sitter didn't turn up tonight so I had to stay at home and look after the kids. It's not the worst as we're only doing one shots at the minute so I can just watch Liverpool in the Champions League, but it is still annoying. Here's my set up for the night, Liverpool on the left, PSG vs Barce on the right and what was football manager, now Total war Warhammer in the middle.
Half term starts for us this week and the kids have 2 weeks off! I'm still on sick leave so I have the kids at home.
It's about 12km in total, 7.5km for the first bit then a spot of lunch and then the last 4.5km on the way back through some orchards so we can nick some apples.
FLo made this today with the help of April. It wasn't in the original design but hey added a cats but hole, much to my amusement!
I beat Arthur 3-0 at chess this morning...
I absolutely thrashed him to begin with but then tried to even it up in bits by giving him tips. He's pretty good and I know he will beat me at some point but not for a little while. He and Flo play at school, Arthur usually beats Flo which is good to see as Flo does beat him at most things (2.5 years difference). I think I might need to ease off a little bit, but what's the point in letting him win?
There is no news. I logged in today to see if there was anything moving (i've told them to contact me using my personal address whilst off), but nothing. I will chase tomorrow. Not sure what the hold up is. My director is my new line manager and has signed it off, so not sure what else needs sorting.
If it doesn't happen, I wouldn't be too annoyed as I would like some time off but I can't really turn down the money side of thigs as it is very good.
Payday next Friday, and my bonus comes out then too!
All going well, I think...
I'm breathing through my nose better and feel physically fine. I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon (late) where the surgeon will remove the plastic inserts in my nose and I think this will help a lot haig done a fair amount of googling around the subject.
Hopefully it's not too painful as i'm due to head out with the u10s coaches for a social at a local curry house. I think there are 20 of us. Good luck if you're stuck in the restaurant with us. These things can get messy.
I took Arwen around Lamberhurst yesterday with the plan to have a nice pub lunch half way through. I got to the Elephants Head at around 12 but it wasn't open yet so decided to carry on and just have lunch in Lamberhurst itself in the Chequers. That wasn't taking walk ins that day because they had a big table of 16 booked in upstairs. FFS. On the way back in the car I passed the Elephant on the off chance that it was open but it was rammed. It wasn't to be. It was a nice walk though.
I have to admit that parking is not my greatest skill, but without the drive at the minute with the scaffolding up during the repointing work, i've had to practise. Pretty pleased with this.
