Royal sightings

 One of the group i'm going to Ascot with went earlier in the week too.  Nothing like mixing with the hoi polloi



Turns out i'm now an esquire!  "A rank in the British social hierarchy"


New additions to the garden

 We had the gardeners around this week and they've installed a bird bath and a water butt (not that we'll get any water in it anytime soon.  They put in some new plants too!




It's alive!

The juke box is finally operational again.  It's been out of action for around 6 weeks. It only cost £250 in the end so not the end of the world.  I think it's been updated to windows 10 so that might help.

Suit picked up early

 My suit was available early so decided to pick it up early whilst I was in town.


Two separate friends say I look like Phil Mitchell. 


It's safe, honest...

 Flo refused to balance the egg on her head, but did volunteer to be my beautiful assistant.  Not sure what I was expecting but a little anticlimactic.

Artillery shell

 Someone at work appears to be using an artillery shell as a water bottle!  It's basically a magnum.



Here's another idiot back in 2019!

New bike

 With the kids both riding bikes now I can't keep up with them walking to school.  I bought my own new bike and picked it up this afternoon.  We tested all our bikes out on a family ride this afternoon.





Insect shotgun mother fucker!

 I received this father's day present from the kids (April).  It's brilliant.  We get a fair few flies in the house being so close to the river and leaving the back door open of the animals to do their business.





Cricket with Arthur

April usually takes Arthur to his cricket training on Sundays but today we had a change of plan. I took him.  He plays over in Leigh, a village about 10 mins drive away.  






Nirvana cover band

 We went to see a Nirvana cover band last night and they were a lot of fun.  Really enjoyed it!
