Always willing to help out

Dad was in hospital for a few nights last week after he fell over and broke a few ribs and collapsed one of his lungs!  He's pretty much better now but thought it would be wise for me to help out.

Whilst visiting my Dad before heading back home on Saturday he asked us to help him fetch a big branch that had washed up along the banks of the brook at the bottom of his garden.  Luckily Steve was there with a camera just in case I fell in.










Pitch inspection

 After going home for my gran's funeral last Friday I was too late to heading into London with the kids to see some of April's old band.  I went to the rugby club to inspect the training pitches for Sunday's u6 rugby session.  

The 2s were at home so stayed and watched them too.




Learning to swim

This week the kids have been going to Carroty wood to learn to swim.


They won't be able to swim by the end of it but hopefully this will kick start their learning again.


The kids are helping

 The guys helping me make bolognaise.




Snack time

 In the form of a giant chocolate chip cookie



Last night's session

 We ended up saving a magical whale who can hopefully take us to a magical island to kill a god.

Killed a Chardalyn dragon last night

 That was fun.  Plus we made it up to level 7 which I think is the highest level i've ever gotten to from ground up.  There's 2 or 3 chapters left of the campaign too so hopefully we'll level up a bit more.  My character is the elf wizard on the perspex box over on the left of the first picture.  I also have a shield guardian which is standing in front of the dragon in the second picture.





Tea last night

 Melted Gruyere with dippy bread, followed by home made pickled onions!  They're not bad.  I'm going to bring a jar back for dad when I go back home for a funeral on Friday.
