Volbeat, supported by Bush

 




2 pint pints!


All 6 of us





On the way to the gig

 It was a bit of a ball ache getting to the gig last night, but I had a good time so worth it in the end.

My game's been cancelled

 My game for the Badgers has been cancelled.  The replacement team couldn't field enough numbers.  We were originally supposed to play Gravesend Moles but they pulled out due to lack of numbers, Sevenoaks stepped in but again couldn't put a team together.  Must have been scared about playing against me...  It's a shame as I was looking forward to it.  I'm missing next week's game as i'm away with April.  There are loads of fixtures coming up in the next month or so, so not really missing out.

Getting numbers for teams is tough these days.  Especially with the Autumn internationals.  Many would be players have tickets for the games.

Ooh, April will like that

 I'll get it for her birthday.  8 months later, ooh, April will like that.  I'll get it for her for Christmas...



Gig tonight

 We're off to see a band tonight.  Volbeat.  Supported by Bush, who would be good to see too.  I only started listening to them a couple of years ago but quite like them.  Shaheen, Kate, April and a couple from the rugby club are coming too.  Unfortunately, it's all the way up at Wembley Arena which takes around 1h30 / 1h45 to get to.  I need to leave here when the baby sitter arrives at 5:30.  And at least one of us will have to leave early to make sure we're back by 12.  

Top top it all off, England football are at home that day so the whole place will be rammed and full of wankers!  Great! 

New Dice holder

 I bought this on etsy the other day and it arrived on Tuesday.  I thought it was missing a couple of it's magnets (for holding it closed), but it turns out the glue keeping them in place had worked lose and they were just stuck to the opposite magnet.  Doh!


Omelette fail

I often post photos about my cooking triumphs, but is also important to let my public know that I am also human and can sometimes fail.  Here's my attempt at an omelette... I blame the pan.




Poor Arthur

 Arthur keeps getting holes in his school jumper and April is fed up repairing it so has gone full 70s/80s university lecturer mode and sewed on leather patches.  Poor kid!




Cthulhu is back

After a couple of months hiatus, our roleplaying Cthulhu group is back.  We aim to play every other week.




How hot does her head need to be?
