Be Excellent To Each Other

The same for me. It was a really good game.

I was genuinely moved at the end of the game...or it was a very dusty room I was sitting in.

I won a signed print from Hercule Van Wolfwinkle!

Ate a pie, watched footy.

I just had my diabetic review, i am back in the right targets. Which is great as 3 months ago I got a bollockign as it was the worst results since I was diagnosed.

I am bloody happy...

Snow white has had a gritty reboot.

I'm finally able to move around enough that we've put together another bed for our new herb garden - not long now! - and got the grill lit and cooked us some meat and onions for our tea! Yay!

Brilliant news. That bed looks beautiful and sturdy.

What are you going to plant in it. I’m sure I found a beef and onion herb once.

Amaze!

It just seemed to combine both your hats from today into one handy plant

I have read before that it specifically tastes like beef and onion crisps, which I think I last saw in the 80s.

The first swifts arrived on Friday.

Beautiful.

The sun is out here. We were going to go out for a ride but actually we’ve just been in ten garden and it’s been lovely.

Dare I say it, maybe even a bit

Shhh....

After expensive eye-tests, medicals and echocardiograms, I now have a Class 2 medical certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority, so I can now start to learn to fly! Woo!

Try not to crash your plane on purpose for the Youtubes!

Excellent! Is the lawn long enough for a dramatic arrival at Cottage?

Even a small lawn is big enough for a dramatic arrival in a light aircraft.

I meant "glamourous", obviously.

Anyway have fun. Got to imagine flying lessons are way more expensive than when I did them 25+ years ago and it seemed like a pretty dear do then. I'd like to take up gliding I think when circumstances allow.

The obvious solution is to learn to fly a chopper.

On the list if I get the planes out of the way first. Chopper lessons are more spendy.

Have you replaced your tumble dryer yet?

No, but I had a very nice repair man come out and diagnose it as a dodgy start capacitor. He replaced it, all is now peachy!

Get inside and set the spin speed to 88 and report back.

That would be a long weekend of bad Arnie impressions

Especially if my instructor happened to be called Jenny.

CHENNY!

Well,that was a quiet night.

Wednesday up.

It wasn't a red card.

The goal should have stood as there was a literal geological era between first pass and the cross going over.

Barnsley keeper was on fire throughout, as were the whole team. Massive bad luck, honestly must be awful.


Fuckinghell.

Best season ever.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is finally going to be available on PC...

Hopefully it runs decently on the Steam Deck!

Cleared my mortgage today.

Superb! That will feel even more amazing after next month's pay packet I bet!

Did you pay off early or it reached the end of the natural term?

A fair amount earlier. I’d had the money ready, but was waiting to the end of the 5 year fixed rate I was on, so there was no early redemption penalty.

Work has not been fun for much of the last five years but it has put me in a better position than I expected to be.

My daughter has been taking her gymnastics classes really seriously and trying ever so hard - she's keen as mustard.

On Saturday, she was one of 8-10 selected from her club to go and do a little competition on the coast. She did really well and got a silver medal. We were really proud of the effort she put in.

How brilliant. And so lovely that all her hard work has paid off.
