My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)
Or at least, almost. They're coming back next week to tidy up. Next Tuesday the last bit get done on the garden. The balistrade, taps, outside power and replacing some fencing. Then it's almost done!
Both kids dropped off unharmed after spending the night alone with Daddy. No issues really although Arthur was up at 4:30am again this morning and refused to go back down. Great. Here is fast asleep after dropping Flo off at her school. Yesterday he fell asleep in his breakfast at the nursery. Maybe stay asleep a little longer next time bucko.
Flo's been sent home from school a couple of times already this week with earache. She's now been subscribed some antibiotics so hopefully that will sort her out. She seemed much better this morning so hopefully that's a good sign. April's staying over in Folkstone tonight for some works thing so i'm home alone with both kids. Arthur's sleeping has been terrible recently and wakes up and stays up at around 5 every day. This morning it was 4!
Last night my local game group created our characters for Vampire the Masquerade (5th ed). We didn't get to do much other than that but it should be fun. Rombardo Lazerous makes another outing, this time as a vampire. I've played the game before briefly when we were much younger (15 or so), but it didn't really catch on so we reverted back to other games. I've ordered 10 blood dice (D10s) that the group can share for when hunger takes over. I might need to order some more.
Just passed 500 hours on the latest Football Manager. The previous version I totalled 700+. There's at least 5 months till the next one comes out so i'm on track.
It was our friend's birthday party on Sunday and it also coincided with our annual meet up for the fantasy football group we're in.
We went on a family walk on Sunday morning with the kids and the dog. Arthur's getting much better but we still have to carry him for much of the way.
It was Arthur's 2nd birthday on Saturday and we hired a local hall for him and some of his closest friends from the nursery to enjoy the fun.
It's Arthur's 2nd birthday tomorrow. We've got a big party planned at a local venue where we've got an indoor bouncy castle set to arrive. He will never remember this but April will and that's what it's all about...
I'm off most social media these days, mostly because I feel the bad sides of it out weigh the things I enjoy.
In order to post videos to this blog I tend to upload them to YouTube rather than save them locally then upload. Lazy on my behalf but what can you do? By putting them on YouTube it makes them publicly available and some get quite a few views.
What interests me is the amount of likes some of the videos get, or more specifically the amount of dislikes. The highest views i've had for one of my videos is approximately 2.5k, but the ones that seem to get the most traction sit at around the 1k mark. I generally get 80% likes ratio which on the face of it sounds good, but when I really think about it, it's pretty shit. Not many of my friends (who know I have a blog) actually bother clicking on the videos anyway as I can see quite a few only have 1 or two views or on some even 0. Ignoring that, my point is who would actually bother moving their mouse to the dislike button? 95% of my videos are about my dog or my children. Fair enough, you might not be interested in my dog or my children but to actively make the effort to dislike it??? I think there's something wrong with you. I'm glad I don't use social media and i'm glad i'm not you
