I got Bosnia and Herzegovina in the work world cup sweepstake. It didn't cost me anything so not too fussed. For £10 I entered the pub one. I drew Germany, so pretty pleased. The landlord drew England so you can imagine how much grief he got. £480 total pot, most to the winner but prizes go down to the 2 semi finalists too.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)

Missed pb by 1 second
I missed my 500m pool swim record by 1 second this morning. I was approximately 20 seconds behind after 10 laps so impressed by clawing it back. Consistency is good too though.
Blood donation 71
And in very good time. I gave blood for the 71st time this afternoon. And was back at my desk at home within an hour! Not bad.

Final voucher
It was a bit too wet for touch rugby this evening with a chance of lightning, we had a childminder booked so we went out for a date night instead. We had £50 / £150 vouchers left from the u6s rugby clubs so decided to use them. Steak night at the Ivy House.
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.
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.
