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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
After working all day in the cool confines of my bedroom office on a day when outside the temperature was 31? I was desperate to get back out and at least finish the first half of my shed roof. I knew there was not much left to do but it was too late yesterday to […]
Easily the hottest day of the year reaching 27?c and not a cloud in the so I spent the day putting the roof on my shed, and boy it was tough going. Although I only got 2 full sheets of OSB on it was satisfying to finally get them screwed down. I ran out of […]
