I'm free

 We've just taken our wedding rings and engagement ring to a local jeweller to have them valued so that they can be added onto our home insurance.  They need to take them in and will likely take a couple of days.  It feels strange not having it as it's more or less permanently on, and has been for nearly 12 years.

Here it is

 Steve's booked in next Wednesday to help me install them.  Let's hope they fit...!

Graphics card arrived

Dog for scale

Ouchy

 My friend Glenn fell off his bike yesterday morning and dislocated a finger.  Ouch.  He kindly sent us a photo.

New graphics card

 I bought my work PC back in November 2019 and the only thing letting down was it's graphics card, why didn't get something more powerful at the time i'm not sure.  Anyway, i've finally bought a new one and it should arrive at lunchtime today.

I've had to buy a new power supply to go with it too as it's fairly powerful.  Not top of the range but certainly at the top end when you look at the benchmarks.  I'm not that way inclined when it comes to fitting things like this so i've enlisted my brothers help to install them.  Hopefully we can sort something out early next week.

Sunday

 Sunday was very hot in Tonbridge, I had a look in the shed but couldn't find our paddling pool.  There were none we could click and collect at Argos but luckily Waitrose had a few we could choose from.  April chose this massive one.  We've got hot and cold taps in the garden for washing the dog so it was like a big bath.


We also went to a local fair at the castle where the kids got their faces painted.


April and another mum from Flo's school dancing in a very hot tent!

Hastings trip

 The Tonbridge lot had a lovely day out in Hastings on Saturday, the kids were left at home with Flo's old nanny (£100) then we all headed down to Hastings on the train.  The Scannells are selling up (Eastbourne) and are trying to move there so we all headed down for some recognisance.







Rib of beef

We had friends over for a dinner party on Friday.  I cooked a lovely rib of beef.  We've got loads left though.  Whoops. 





Dog dog's had loads too and she got the bones!
