But another pool pb. Best 100m swim 1m 55s. Beat my previous record by a whole 1 second! 9 seconds off my best 500m swim though. I reckon if I concentrate on the 100m swim tomorrow I can smash it. Don't expect much from the 500m result though.

Hair styling
We've been trying to convince Arthur to let us comb his hair in the morning, April managed to do it this morning and put some of my hair gel in to keep it in place. Only problem is he rode his bike to school with a crash helmet so this is what we're left with. Pretty much what it was like when he woke up!

2kg of beef
I cooked a 2kg joint of beef yesterday for 10 (6 adults 4 kids). It was good although the meater (meat thermometer) let me down. I wanted the top end of medium rare, but i'd say top end of medium. Still tasted good and the whole lot was eaten so can't complain too much. The main reason for the roast was to test out the new fancy chopping board though. Lovely!
New album
I listened to Ade Edmonson's auto biography the other day and found out about this album. Bad News. Part of a Comic Strip episode where the actually went on tour afterwards!
Saturday's activities
I met up with Shaheen on Saturday, we're going to attempt to do this every year (close to our birthdays), steaks and beers. We haven't seen Ross in ages so asked if he was available, turned out he was!
Steaks and red wine in Temper! Lovely
Does he live local?
We were randomly talking about Andrew WK on Friday during dinner with the kids and noticed that we didn't have this album on the juke box so ordered one right there. It turned up before 10am on Saturday. No stamp so hand delivered. Was it Andrew himself?
Tonbridge is beautiful
Out with the dog last week and I love my walk with her. It takes about 20mins to get to this point and is a lovely walk alongside the river.

12-19 Vs Gravesend
I played rugby last Saturday and felt surprisingly fine. We won. A bit stiff and probably didn't need to do rugby training with the kids in the morning followed by go ape for one iof Flo's friend's birthdays.

3 times I went down a zip wire at go ape, 3 times I ended up going backwards and getting wood chips up my arse.
Lovely walk this morning
April's been walking the dog mostly recently as i've been going to the gym. I didn't go this morning as I was out playing touch rugby with the Badgers. What a lovely day though.

Do I head out tonight?
I've had the beginning of a cold these past few days and not feeling 100%. I still managed to go to the gym and beat a couple of pbs, swimming and elliptical trainer. so can't be that bad but i'm supposed to be going to the pub later for our latest roleplaying game. This and the next week are a 2 part one shot in cyberpunk. This week is in the pub.
We've done a handful of one shots in the setting and used some pregen characters but i'm just not invested in it.
My question is, do I go? I could do with the night off. I've got the last touch rugby session tomorrow with the Badgers which i'm keen to head to and am off to London on Saturday to see Shaheen and Ross which I want to be on top form for.
I'm sure i'll go but maybe i'll tone it down a little.
