April's first game!

 The Clark family is only big enough for one adult playing rugby at a time.  With me being out for the rest of the season, it's April's turn to step up and shine. Well done!  She even downed a pint!  Is there nothing this lady can't do?







Pork belly tacos


Verdict.  They were very good.  Note to self, add honey towards the end of the cook, they would have been amazing!
 

Timmy

 World book day is coming up and Arthur has been reading the famous five.  His favourite character is Timmy so April made him this outfit.



Flo's favourite

 Arthur was on a play date on Friday afternoon so I asked Flo what she wanted for dinner.  Spaghetti carbonara.  Not a bad effort.




Lego build

 I ordered this to do with the kids for the weekend.  We finished it in a couple of hours.  Good fun.  I can see me getting very addicted to this!

Finally

 April bought Arthur a Real Madrid (knock off) with Trent Alexander Arnold on the back when the kids headed off to Spain last summer.  April has replaced it with an official Liverpool one from Vinted for £4.  Not bad.



Crocus

 The crocus at the bottom of th e castle have started coming out again.



Trip to London

 We went into London yesterday.  We had a spot of lunch in Chinatown before heading to the twist museum on Oxford Street before having a little wonder around Covent Garden, a nice Thai meal then heading back home for bed.

Stitches out today

 I get my stitches out today, these are the ones where my bicep tendon was repaired, the other 3 incisions were keyhole so didn't need any.

There's been a bit of a mix up as I said i'd get it sorted locally, but got a request to go back to the hospital.  I asked them to cancel it but they haven't so canned the one at my local gp practice.  Hopefully it'll all be good as i'd like to get rid of the plasters covering my arm and get a proper wash.

Proper physio starts this evening too.  I'll be sure to take a few ibuprofen before hand as I have a feeling it's going to hurt. 

Phew

 It's been 3 weeks since our last d&d session and I even missed this one.  Kind of glad I did...  We faced 9 dragons of some description or another.  Yikes!  We're up to level 18 though!
