Well, I think that's probably broken...

 Trapped my picky in a door, probably broken.  Doh!  



The Mountain Goats

 We went to see the Mountain Goats last night.  One of April's favourite bands.  The were in a church over in Hackney.  It was a wet evening so I got a black cab from London Bridge to get there.  It would have been a very late one getting home so I looked into getting an uber.  Only £65!  The cab from London bridge was £40.  Bargain!

Contract hold up

 I received the contract extension on Tuesday but it didn't mention a retention bonus I had agreed with my director.  I queried it with HR and they said i'd need to speak to my director, I did and he agreed that is what he expected too.  I think it's now back with HR but looks like my director is off until Monday so i'm guessing no movement this week. At least it's pay day and bonus day for me tomorrow so that will be good.  2 days left at work...

Winner!

 After a two game run where I didn't beat my children at crazy golf.  I beat them both!  But not by much...

Arthur even came 2nd!  Well done Arthur!





Pitch inspection

 Pretty much no grass.







Beef Pho

I made a beef pho today, not bad, although I still can't taste much after the operation.



New toy for Arwen

Trampoline park

 With all the rain around at the minute I took the kids for an hour and a half to our semi local trampoline park.

The comand centre

 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 Barcelona on the right and what was football manager, now Total war Warhammer in the middle.

Big walk

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.
