We're almost finished our d&d game. We've got a 2 week break (I think we're running a two week one shot cyber punk) before coming back to d&d. After that we're going to have a one shot d&d game so our gm can practise the one shot he wants to run at a games con he's going to then we'll start the next official d&d campaign.

New boots
My new rugby boots finally turned up today. 3 days before my next game. They should have arrived last week but for some reason took ages to arrive. My last pair fell apart mid game back in Easter.
First day of term
First Day of term for the kids today after a very long summer holiday. 7.5 weeks off! Grr! Now to get back to a nice solid routine.

Why now?
More rugby
I got a message late last night asking if I was available to play rugby on Saturday. I was supposed to be taking Flo to a nerf gun party (it's all we do) which I would actually have liked to have gone to but I can't turn the chance of a game. Not at my age.
I also did a training session on teaching kids to play tag rugby on Wednesday, that was fun, although it was very hot so sweated loads. I would have been playing actual touch rugby over in Chiddingstone if I wasn't doing that so i'd have got a sweat on anyway.
Start of the rugby season
We were up and out of the house at 9 on Sunday as the rugby season has started and i'm heading up the under 6s (and 5s). Flo has gone up to the u7s so i'm staying down in the 6's as Arthur can now join seeing as he's just about to start reception. A few novis new coaches but a friend helped out and I think everyone had fun.
After that we all went to Tonbridge park for the reception's first meet of the new year.
Best birthday present
I managed to escape to the pub again on Sunday to watch the Utd vs Liverpool game. That was a great birthday present! 0-3!
Birthday no 45
I turned 45 on Saturday. Woo hoo! What did I end up doing? Not much. I cooked some mackerel and fried potatoes for breakfast then took Arthur shopping, we went to Sainsbury's instead of Waitrose for a change. Not as bad as I remember. April had to head down to Camber for one of Flo's friend's birthday parties. I had to hang around till the afternoon for one of Arthur's friend's birthdays.
When April got back I managed to sneak out for a couple of pints which were paid for by a couple of friends but that was about it.
What did I get? Some new pots and pans (which we had started using already). A signed cookbook from a restaurant we went to in Weymouth. A new fancy chopping board (which hasn't arrived yet), 6 fancy bottles of white wine from Steve. I think that's about it.
