Disco boots

 I spotted these gold boots in a charity shop a couple of years ago and thought Flo might like them.  They were too big for her but they now nearly fit.  Today is Tonbridge Pride and Flo is dressing up so dried them on.  We realised that they both have USB ports! WTF!  We plugged them in to charge    


Charging


Flash dance

Now to leave them charging!




Hight update

No i've not grown.  The kids have though.  It's been 6 months since the last measure and they've both grown 3 cm.  Both still above average.  Interesting fact:  Arthur is 5cm taller than Flo at the same age!

24

 I tried to watch a couple of films on Kris' Plex but the quality of them wasn't that great.  I watched an episode of John Oliver's show instead.  It was about surveillance.  It got me thinking.  Maybe I should watch 24 again.  So I did, i'm 5 episodes in from the start again.  I've probably watched it 3 or 4 times now.

I wonder why this place shut down

 I bet they weren't expecting that type of clientele.

Last night's session

 We played another one shot with the d&d cartoon character from the 80s last night.  It was a lot of fun.


I bought this for the kids.




And now it lives in my office

Arthur made this at forest school

 Not sure what it's supposed to be (something about a turtle), Arthur's left it out to dry in the sun.  Looks more like something Arwen produced.



I think this is the coolest place in the house

 Stupid dog





Sneaky morning dog walk

 I took Arwen out for a sneaky dog walk whilst it wasn't too hot.  She managed to find another baseball.

Wow. Chicken in a chicken soup

 I quite like Waitrose's chicken and vegetable soup for lunch when working from home.  There's occasionally a tiny strand of chicken in a spoon full when eating it.  I bought some more yesterday and cooked some for m lunch and there is actually large pieces of chicken breast in there.  Either i've been very unlucky over the past 5 years i've been buying it or they've listened to customer feedback and have actually started to add proper bits of chicken.



Fruit trying

 Our local food market (corner shop) has a strange mix of fruit available to buy.

Although Arthur still refuses to eat fruit (don't ask), on Saturday we had some kumquats, lycees and a mangosteen.  I've never had a mangosteen before.  Not bad.
