He's back!

 I beat my 400m and 500m pool swim records today.  

400m 7:48, 8 seconds faster than my previous best (03-03-25)

500m 9:40, 16 seconds faster (again on 03-03-25).

Since the 3rd of March last year i've had a shoulder operation and now i'm back up to speed.  My shoulder isn't completely healed but it must be getter there with that time.  I think my fitness is much higher than it was last year too.

 April was away in Singapore for most of last week, so I was home alone with the kids.  As a treat we went to the local Thai on the way home from school on Friday.



Wedding!

 I went to a friend's wedding reception on Saturday night, and it was lovely.  




Chicken wings

 April made some honey soy ones, but mine were the best.



Arthur's birthday party

 Arthur had a shared birthday party with his friend Mia on Sunday.  Entertainment was by Captain Fantastic.






Stuck in town

 I was stuck in town on Monday, I nearly had to get a hotel for the night.  There was a fire at a recycling centre right next to the train line (near New Cross).  Trains were cancelled and delayed all over the place.  I managed to entertain myself. 



LAst night's game

There's a few more weeks to go of this adventure.  It's amazing we're all still alive, it's quite hard when some of our party only has 3hp! 


 

Home made chicken stock

 I made chicken wings on Sunday and had some left over wing tips that I made stock with.  There was a little too much so Arwen helped out.

Cricket

 With April and Flo still being away, I took Arthur to his cricket lesson on Sunday morning.  April had the car so we cycled.  It took us 20 mins to ride through the park, wood and last stretch of road.
