Daily Mail

One of the rugby lads reminded me of this over the weekend.  I forgot I was in the Daily Mail...

New jigsaw

 We started a new jigsaw on Saturday and made good progress.  It's a pretty tough one as the map deliberately doesn't match the puzzle.  Once we complete it, there are two additional envelopes we get to open with separate challenges. Should be fun!



Softplay

 I thought i'd seen the last of softplay, but two of Arthur's friend's from school had their 6th birthday parties there on Saturday.  Arthur certainly had a lot of fun.




Watching football with Arthur and the Dog

 I watched the Liverpool game with Arthur and Arwen on Saturday afternoon.  It was nice, despite the last minute loss...

Flooding

 Much better than Sunday but not looking likely to be at the club for some time as there is more rain forecast




This is the racecourse not the rugby pitches.  They're much better.


Continuing our journey in Hell

 


Gambling, I got the top score


Chicken and sweetcorn chowder

 I was supposed to cook this on Sunday but with all the fun with the power cut it was postponed.  I cooked it last night.  Pretty good, but have done better.

Rugby

 I played my last game of rugby of the season on Saturday.  Was it my last???  We won 7-50.  They scored first.  I was the oldest back by at least 15 years. I have to admit it was a struggle keeping up with kids!  We had 4 brothers playing in the same game.  All 4 of them scored!  I didn't...

There are two more games I could possibly play but with the operation in a few weeks I thought it wise not to make myself available.

AC/DC cover band

 We went to the Forum, Tunbridge Wells last Friday to see an AC/DC covers band.  They were pretty decent.




Operation date

 I have my shoulder operation date confirmed.  3 weeks today.  I've also got a CT scan on my nose (sinus) tomorrow.  I saw the consultant and he stuck a camera up my nose.  He's recommended a CT scan to take a more detailed look so am booked in.
