I swam 1km this morning. No ill effects, my arm must be getting better. Not front crawl yet but i'll get there.

Two water pistols
The two water pistols I ordered for the rugby club water fight turned up yesterday. Too late for the rugby, but the kids still like them.

Double winners
Our 2s and 3s won each of our respective leagues this year. The 2s won it with a game to spare, we won it on the last game of the season on Saturday. Our 1st team were at home as well so there was a big party and there was much merriment. I was tempted to play but my surgeon and physio said definitely not! So I aired on the side of caution resisted. My shoulder is getting better every day but not quite ready for contact. I have a physio appointment in a couple of weeks where it will be months after the surgery. I'm playing rugby next Wednesday so hopefully it'll be okay for that.
Next season though!
Flo won an award
It was our last rugby session of the season on Sunday and at the end we had a prize giving and a massive water fight. She won the Spirit of rugby award! Well done Florence. We ended up staying for quite a while as the weather was so nice and ended up going to a Turkish restaurant with 2 other families for dinner. A fairly big day in the end. We got a special thanks from our fellow coaches in the u6s, we got £150 voucher for a local pub / restaurant.

It wasn't my fault
April had to spend the night in a Tonbridge hotel on Wednesday night. She'd been out in London having drinks with some old team mates and got home quite late. When she got to the door she realised she didn't have her keys with her. 14 missed calls to me and 10 mins of shouting through the letter box and I was none the wiser. My phone goes into do not disturb between 10am and 6am. So I slept like a baby. It was only when Arthur woke me up and asked where mummy was that I realised what had happened. Oops

Oops
One of our local pubs had a sign attached to it today and it was all in the gossip locally. Apparently the landlord didn't even know. The land lord of the pub I go to didn't know and it was part of the same small pub co that manages it. Turns out the guys that put up the sign put it on the wrong Man of Kent (another pub a couple of miles away). Ha. Oops!
Found this on the dog walk
Google lens think's it's a musket shot. It's first attempt was an uncut diamond. Probably more like a fishing weight.
