Almost here

It's that time of the year again, the new version of football manager is almost set to be released.  in 15 days time to be precise.  In line with tradition there is usually a beta version released 2 weeks before so i'm checking every couple of hours on steam

Here's my update history. 

That's almost a year of gameplay!  This is of course only part of my FM history.  The first football manager was released in 2004, and before that Championship Manager in 1994, the table above only shows my steam history.

Keeping my local establishment alive

 Ordered this in the week from Fuggles and it arrived yesterday.  I don't really drink beer at home anymore but I like to do my bit and help out our local businesses where I can.

Arwen's first bath

 It was surprisingly harmless.  I wouldn't say she enjoyed it but it wasn't that bad.

Wedding anniversary

It's our 9th wedding anniversary today so we had to move our fancy meal out to Tuesday.  Luckily my mum wasn't doing anything so came down on Tuesday afternoon instead too.  Here's the menu

I had to explain what a 'dutch oven' was to April.  Well.  It made me chuckle.

As an added bonus I have put it through my company as an annual event. Who says romance is dead?You're allowed an event each year for each employee and their partner for up to £150 each.  April chose some very expensive Margaret River wine (Near where she's from in South West Australia) so we very nearly made the £300 target, if it wasn't for the 10pm curfew we would have made it.  However the trick is to get it as close to £300 as possible, any over and it would have counted.   

Stinky dog

 First of many

Arwen had her first bath today.  Stinky dog.  We basically half filled a garden trug full of warm water doggy shampoo and kind of splashed around a bit.

I think April got wetter than Arwen.

Pre-lock down haircut

 I got April to cut my hair with the clippers yesterday.  Not a bad job.  And a £15 saving.

Check out the war wound on my jaw where Arwen scratched me whilst I was carrying her across a busy road.

Lazy dog

Here's Arwen walking to the nursery to pick up Flo

 

First time on my own with all 3

Nobody died.

April had a day of on Saturday / Sunday and spent the time with friends in Canterbury.  By all accounts she had a good time.  I survived.

Here's Arthur having a well earned nap in the middle of the day.

Here's me attempting a walk in the park with Flo, Arthur and Arwen.  It was a bit wet and windy so Arwen spent a lot of the 'walk' in the bottom of the pram.
