Saturday walk

 We forgot that it was Arwen's 6th birthday last week so we took her out for a big walk.  Here are the minis pitches which are in a desperate need of a good watering.

The original plan was to go to the plan but mid walk I had the brainwave of checking if it was open (it sometimes holds weddings during the summer).  It was due to be closed by the time we got there!  Change of plan, we went to the Nelson which has won Kent pub of the year twice in a row by CAMRA.  Rubbish larger though.  

We played a game of Flux, and then a bunch of games of Star Flux.  Such a good game.

Low month of blogging

 Only 21 posts in July 2026, I usually post more than once a day on average.  It's not that we haven't done anything.  Maybe it's the weather.  It's too bloody hot!

More Sunday cooking

 Chicken and mushroom risotto with hand depodded peas and home made chicken stock from the chicken spine.

Firepit chicken

I cooked this on Sunday. Even with a thermometer it's difficult to make sure it's all cooked,  but I think it turned out pretty well.

D&D 1 shot

We did a d&d 1 shot last night.  We all played characters from the d&d cartoon from the 80s.  Good fun.

One of the players kindly painted up my dwarf fighter.

 

Looking a little parched

 They're looking terrible at the minute, let's hope we get some rain soon.  At least the 1st team pitch is getting watered.

Another gig for Florence

 She sang two songs this time.  She's a confident girl!

Jealous

 Arwen was jealous of the attention I was giving Brody.
