Metallica weekend!

 It's the long awaited Metallica weekend. My friend bought them for us last year as he's a season ticket holder at West Ham but they were only delivered in the app on Wednesday!  It's all good, they've been transferred over to me now.

We're going with Shaheen and Kate, we're picking the kids up early at school (4pm) driving straight to to theirs, dropping the kids off with their baby sitter then Kate's driving us to the London Stadium.  We'll see the gig then head back to Shaheen's.  I think we have a restaurant or two planned on Saturday, then it's rinse and repeat on Sunday night.

England are playing Mexico at 1am on Monday morning so there is a plan to stay up and watch that!  Then we need to drive back (April's driving) and we're dropping the kids straight into school.  Urgh!

Wrong box

 One of my boxes of wine from Waitrose was incorrect.  What was supposed to be pinot grigio, is sparkling rose. Not really my cup of tea really, or wine for that matter.

Nice surprise

 I received a letter from HMRC yesterday and it said i'd overpaid £460 in tax last year.  Whohoo!  It was a little convoluted to arrange to get it back but that's done now.

Does the BBC actually think this is they type of drone we're talking about here?

 

Can you spot it?

 I took the dog out early last week as it was going to be stupidly hot later in the day.  I spotted this.  Arwen didn't even notice.

5 course tasting menu

 Last Thursday we went to Mereworth Vineyard for a meal and some paired win.  What a beautiful day. 

Chiddingstone touch rugby

 I played for the Badgers over in Chiddingston on Saturday.  We got hammered in the first two games then lost again in the final game of the group.  It was much closer though and good fun.  I got the train to Penshurst then cycled to the ground with a friend.  Then cycled all the way back to Leigh to say hello to some friends playing cricket, then cycled home to quickly get showered and changed as we were due at a friend's 40th back in Leigh!

The kids got a couple of games too.

My leg's not great.  I got a nasty friction burn when sliding on the hard ground.

Foot long, who wants a foot long?

 I asked the kids if they wanted normal size hot dogs or if they wanted the larger ones.  They opted for the larger ones...

New dice stand

 I bought another dice stand from etsy the other week, i'd need another couple to display the lot though.

Here's my current nerd shelves.

Riding back from the cricket on Sunday

 Flo's decided to join in with the cricket every other week so this week we all cycled to Leigh and back from Tonbridge.  It's a nice ride.
