Cold the night

So wierd to pull on a long sleaved top to take Billy for a walk after 2 of the hottest days I can remember today it was 20? cooler. Now without Monday and Tuesday a 19? Wednesday in July is typical but today it felt like there was a bit of a nip in the […]

Another hot day

So Britain is experiencing a heatwave at the moment which is due to end tonight and cooler temperatures are forecast tomorrow. It was 37? at 14:00 this afternoon although because of cloud cover the heat was not as fierce as yesterday. I get panicky and frustrated when they say that the sun won’t shine as […]

The hottest day

Sent the kids off to school this morning covered in factor 50 sun cream with temperatures expected to reach the mid thirties. I arrived home around 13:30 and my car was showing 34? and I reckoned it was getting hotter…? Knowing the kids would be hot and cranky when they got home I wrote a […]

Happy 50th birthday

828 days after my 50th birthday I finally got to go to the cricket with Lincoln using the tickets I received as a birthday gift from the Phoenix 5 lads. It was worth the wait though a roasting hot day spent with Lincoln who did really well considering we were in full sun all day […]

Heading towards armagedon

Another hot day today began with a trip to Pickmere where Mommy went free swimming in the Lake while Lincoln and me played football on the grass. Billy was happy just pottering around while we did our thing, occasionally needing to be called back if he wandered to far or another dog took his interest. […]

Excellence

I told Reagan how proud I was when the school contacted us today to say she had been awarded a certificate of excellence and achieved a third gold badge and “glittery” green star! I explained to her that this certificate shows that you are good and try hard all the time, any body can be […]

Reagans teeth

Reagan needs braces on her teeth and she has got her head around that, her mate has braces so she knows how they are because they talk and she is ready to get them fitted. Now the NHS don’t see it that way they see her as a 12 year-old with time to get these […]

It’s just a game of tig?

Finally Lincoln got picked to play for Middlewich U11s tonight, it’s been a while even though he  attends most practice sessions. He batted in the third pairing with Taylor and as I watched the first and second pairings I could see backing up would be a huge advantage but not something I have seen him […]

Mommy’s home

Having spent few days in Saville visiting her friend Keith and Raul Mommy returned home to us and we were overjoyed to have her back. Bittersweet as it must be for her to leave such a beautiful place but we are not the same when one of us is not here. The smile in the […]

Always learning (Pt 1,973,982)

Every day is a school day they say well today I came up with a sturdy design for my gable overhang that should hold up the sides and allow me to complete the roof. The joint above will be created using the mitre saw at a 45? angle and finished with a chisel, never having […]
