Found myself going that extra mile to make the Willows work even though it will not help me but will help those who probably don’t deserve it ot appreciate it!
Went to Winsford and unbowed and put together 14 computers fitted and connected switches and access points to make Tuesday easier something my colleague would never do nor appreciate
Hey ho I probably won’t ever change?
We played Broughton in the first match of the new season in our new home Middlewich Royal British Legion under new pool rules, and we were beaten 10 nil a harsh scoreline but it laid the foundation for how our season played out. We played really well in most frames but either made a mistake or could not take an opportunity, and frames were difficult to win unless we were either playing our best or lucky….
Tonight, having finished bottom of the Middlewich and District Pool League for the first time in Steventons we were beaten again by Broughton in the Plate KO semi-final without winning a frame?
Got home tonight and although it had rained Sunday and again, Bank Holiday Monday I was desperate to mow the lawns for the first time this year, so got the strimmer out first and after 30 seconds it ran out of wire. After recharging the spool and reinstating it, I cut the edges back before getting out the mower not confident it would start having stood since September untouched.
I needn’t have worried it started third time and the lawns were mowed, the best bit was that as I cracked open a beer and surveyed my work it started to rain…a win for me but jeez enough with the rain!
A day spent pottering is never a wasted day
As discussed Jamie and I decided that making the existing bathroom, which is looking old and tired (a bit like me!) with a plan to do it properly in 18 months when we will hopefully be “debt free”
So today I salvaged some of the old tiles that fell off the walls and reattached them to form a row along the length of the tub and also made and fitted a bath panel.
My plan is to create the same panel effect to box in the pipework behind the sink and toilet Mommy is going to paint them I will paint the ceiling and paper the rest of the wall above the row of tiles. All this should make the bathroom good for at least the time it takes us to pay off the loan a credit card and then hopefully our ‘disposable income’ will allow us to save and replace the bathroom and decorate it properly?
Easter Saturday Mommy decided that reacting to an advert for the Insomnia Gamer Convention Lincoln would love a day in Birmingham NEC with 1000s of nerds but as today approached was regretting her choice. She resolved it in her mind with the fact that it would indeed make not just happy but possibly be the best day of his life?
So off they went early and left Reagan and me to our own devices which for me meant pottering in me shed and Reagan playing Roblox with her mate online. She had been going on about how much she wanted Toby carvery for ages, so I suggested that’s what we should do, which lit her up and was very enthusiastic.
Both children thoroughly enjoyed their choice of how to spend Saturday and were very happy
It rains all the time right now so when Jamie said should we take Billy together this morning and the sun was out I thought let’s go. We called for breakfast in town meandered along the canal towards home and although muddy had a wonderful morning.
As we arrived Ed home and sat in the kitchen removing our boots the heavens opened and it was torrential, we missed it by minutes
Now that’s a Good Friday!
Made me smile today when my work colleague announced that ‘things are going to change’ when I said I was struggling to complete a job but would do everything I could to help get the information they needed. He said he won’t be doing that when I leave, which I fully understand because he does nothing unless he is told to so take me, the person who tells him to do things out of that equatio…
It won’t be my problem but damn I would love e to see how lo g he gets away with it…
Humbling!
Worked hard all day to ‘just do my job’ got home and Jamie and I took the Billster for a walk calling for a cheeky Guinness at Kings Lock before returning home to cook tea for our hungry children
Our time is coming…?
