I had a chat to my director (who I now report into) last week regarding the possibility of an extension. It's looking good but knowing how the company operates may be very close to the my last day (27th Oct).

Nose op update
Still going ahead on Friday. It's been a long time coming. I suffered for years with this, probably for over 10 years if I really think about all of the symptoms. Let's hope it fixes things. I'm getting 2 weeks off work though, so that will be nice.
Vietnamese
April was away (again) this weekend so took the kids for lunch at our local Vietnamese place in Tonbridge on Saturday. Lovely.
Random gig in London
One of my rugby mates works at a school and one of his physics teachers is in a band. Alien Chicks. He asked us if we wanted to go and we said yes. It was over by Brick Lane and a great night out.
First tournament for the u7s
And a brilliant day out. Well done guys! Not wanting to brag... but I will anyway. Arthur managed to bag himself 12 tries, and he only played 4 halves!

What did I do wrong to deserve this?
April went to Twickenham on Saturday with the ladies rugby team to watch Eng vs NZ ladies. I had to do the usual swimming / dance lessons with the kids, then off to a birthday party at a new trampoline park. Boy was it noisy, and staffed entirely by children, none above the age of 20. It was so noisy in there I could hardly think. 2.5 hours in there! The kids enjoyed it though.
Roast beef on Sunday
I made a roast beef on Sunday for me and the kids. April was away playing rugby. It turned out pretty well.

What an idea
Our game was cancelled last night as the pub landlord had double booked the function room and forgot to tell me. There was plenty of room in the pub but a few of the gamers in our group are a little shy and felt uncomfortable playing in public. I only found out as I got to the pub so had a couple of beers with one of the other gamers who had also turned up before it was cancelled.
During our conversation I had the genius idea of using a dart board instead of a d20. It's perfect! Bullseye would be a crit, treble +3 damage etc.
I think it would be fun for a one shot. You might have to give bonuses for players that are shit (i.e me) and make sure the GM isn't too hot, but think it would be a lot of fun.
