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.

 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.
