Retired

 I've retired my models I used in the Rise of the Frost Maiden and the Vecna campaign.

Session 2

 Session 2 of our new adventure.  We're all still alive.

Paddling pool out

 As it was so hot we got the paddling pool out for the kids.  I put the dog in for a bit too.  Don't think she enjoyed it.

Another bbq

 We got our bbq out today.  Too bloody hot up there to eat so we went back down to eat inside.  The garden's looking great though.

Tiny

 I watched the football in the pub on Sunday and someone ordered a half pint of neck oil.  It's fucking tiny.

Swimming records flying

 I went for a swim on Saturday and swam my furthest yet. 2100m! I also did my fastest 1500m.  It took 35:52.  My previous best was 39:32!

New dice

I couldn't resist

Sore ankle

 I woke up on Sunday with a sore achilies.  Not sure what i've done to it.  Ice and elevation.

BBQ

 We were round a friends place on Saturday evening for a bbq, he does a bloody good steak!

Back to the Forum on Saturday

 We saw a couple of bands as part of UnFest.  A free music festival over in Tunbridge Wells.

Dodgy

 We went to the Forum on Thursday to see Dodgy.  They're such a fun band.  Bloody hot though!!!

We won the league

 The 2s and 3s won the league last season, here are some photos from the award ceremony, 

Arthur is now 6!

 Arthur had his 6th birthday last week.  He's having a joint birthday party in a couple of week with one of his school friends but last week was his actual birthday.  I think we spoilt him.

Tonbridge Festival this weekend

 We're not going as the music is shite.  It's held right next to the rugby club.  We're going to Tunbridge Wells instead, they've got their own music festival held in various pubs and the Forum.

Back to front crawl

 I went to see my physio yesterday and she's pleased with my 3 month progress.  I've been putting off doing front crawl since the operation but she said give it a go.  I certainly didn't push it but I did more than half of my 24 lengths in front crawl.  It's feeling okay.

New game

 We're playing the Basic Fantasy Roleplaying Game now.  It's pretty much the same as 1st edition dungeons and dragons.  It'll certainly be a marked change from our last high level game.  My character is a dwarf fighter

Flo's gig!

 Flo's singing teacher asked her if she'd like to sing in a band last Monday.  Two 13 year old girls and a drummer needed a singer at the monthly gig her music school puts on.  She learnt the song and did great!  Well done Flo!  Flo's teacher even got April up for one song too!

Skunk Anansie

 Shaheen messaged me a couple of days ago and asked if I was free to meet up in London on Monday.  I was in London anyway and haven't seen him in a little while so said yes.  He kept everything secret, but eventually I worked it out.  Skunk Anansie was playing at the Water Rats!  A tiny venue just off Kings Cross Station.  It was amazing, she was once again superb. Great night!  We're off to see Dodgy on Thursday too!

Twickenham on Saturday

 Along with around 50 other TJs members we popped along to see the harlequins play at Twickenham.  It was along day 2h each way but we had a good time and was good to see everyone again after the season finished a couple of weeks ago.

Garden's looking nice

 

Shoe blankets?

 One of the heads in my department has shoe shape protectors and shoe blankets. Wtf?  I imagine he got rinsed with a massive upsell at Jones the Boot Makers.  That will go down well at the annual dinner with Jones senior management.  Someone actually bought a set!!!

Driverless car

 I'm in London today and have just spotted my first driverless car.  It's very weird. 

Office move

 As part of our merger, my department has had a small office move.  We now have two buildings, but we're staying in Plantation Place.  Our desks have been moved round the corner, and I now look out onto the Lloyd's building.

New game

 After a mammoth 2 years+ of playing d&d we're taking a break and going to take it easy for a while by playing Basic Fantasy Role Play.  We've played it before a few times and is very similar to the original 1st addition dungeons and dragons. I thought i'd buy myself a copy.

Hail

 We had hail in Tonbridge yesterday

Much better today

Excitement on our street

There was a fire in one of the old people flats opposite our house this morning.  3 fire engines and an ambulance were called and they had to use a cherry picker attachment on one of the engines to stretcher an old lady out through her smashed window.

Tarasque killers

 We fought two tarasques last night in a one off battle with our level 20 characters!  We beat them!

Tiamat fully painted

 We handed over a fully painted Tiamat to our GM last night and he was chuffed to bits.  Sarah did a great job in painting it.  It's absolutely massive!

Sunday roast

 We met one of the other rugby families out for a roast on Sunday.  The Rock Inn, Chiddingstone.  It was great fun.

A whole chicken, 3 ribs of beef and a shoulder of lamb

Hook the ring on the bulls nose game
