24

 I tried to watch a couple of films on Kris' Plex but the quality of them wasn't that great.  I watched an episode of John Oliver's show instead.  It was about surveillance.  It got me thinking.  Maybe I should watch 24 again.  So I did, i'm 5 episodes in from the start again.  I've probably watched it 3 or 4 times now.

I wonder why this place shut down

 I bet they weren't expecting that type of clientele.

Last night's session

 We played another one shot with the d&d cartoon character from the 80s last night.  It was a lot of fun.


I bought this for the kids.




And now it lives in my office

Arthur made this at forest school

 Not sure what it's supposed to be (something about a turtle), Arthur's left it out to dry in the sun.  Looks more like something Arwen produced.



I think this is the coolest place in the house

 Stupid dog





Sneaky morning dog walk

 I took Arwen out for a sneaky dog walk whilst it wasn't too hot.  She managed to find another baseball.

Wow. Chicken in a chicken soup

 I quite like Waitrose's chicken and vegetable soup for lunch when working from home.  There's occasionally a tiny strand of chicken in a spoon full when eating it.  I bought some more yesterday and cooked some for m lunch and there is actually large pieces of chicken breast in there.  Either i've been very unlucky over the past 5 years i've been buying it or they've listened to customer feedback and have actually started to add proper bits of chicken.



Fruit trying

 Our local food market (corner shop) has a strange mix of fruit available to buy.

Although Arthur still refuses to eat fruit (don't ask), on Saturday we had some kumquats, lycees and a mangosteen.  I've never had a mangosteen before.  Not bad.



Good look

 Flo had her hair in a plat all day and tired to take the bands out last night on her own.  April was out so I had to cut them out.  Good look though Flo!



Making the most of the garden

 Pork chops, corn and potatoes on the bbq.
