Taxi waiting

Tuesdays are music lessons and they are both in Sandbach and hour and half apart. For Reagan it’s a piano lesson from 6pm to 6:30 So I just sit in the car and wait

Lincoln has  a drum lesson at 7:30 at the same place, so I drive home drop her off and pick him up and do the same thing again.

Tonight I rolled the seat down locked the doors and may have nodded off, the reason I locked the doors was because of the irrational thought of beimg attacked while I slept…

Imagine tbe shock when I was startled awake by someone pulling on the door handle trying to get into the car?

Luckily it was Lincoln but for a second I thought i was getting attacked

This sucks

Over the weekend I utilised the pipework that Uncle Andy fetched and increased the air flow between the CamVac and the Cyclone

The thing I realised once I’d got it back to a working setup, in the photo above, and thought about it overnight was that the Cyclone should have been in the corner!

Not a huge deal but it needs to be in the corner so it takes up the least floor space. As it is in the photo the space to left is wasted so I have to change it

Gutted!

Just watched Denver Broncos lose in the AFC Championship game.

I love watching the Denver Broncos win or lose it lights me up this season has been beyond brilliant but that’s it 10-7 going for it on 4th & 1 in the first half means our season ends tonight. I thought Sean Payton could weave his magic and the defence would stop the Pats…

We made mistakes, the D was immense and did their job but without all the weapons on the offence we came up short.

I’m disappointed, I now have to wait until September for it to begin again and hope we can go one better

I just think this was a season too early for the Denver Broncos but I think with Nix we might have done it? We need more receivers able to make plays…weapons to help Bo he’s a good QB but may be great with help and the the next draft and free agency will be the difference ‘in my opinion’!

Draft well on offence, keep the defence stacked make free agency work for you and make sure the coaching staff remains elite!

GO BRONCOS!

A wasted day

Couldn’t motivate me self today to do anything after freakishly hurting my hand  tieing mt shoe lace. Just got a seering pain between me pinky and third finger at the web and it just went black? So spent the morning trying to potter and the afternoon lay on the sofa watching YouTube

What a waste!

Genocide

Reagan loves history and one of the great things I share with her is The World at War or as we call it “a bit of genocide’ its just our thing.

She wants to find a similar series on Korea  and that war because she is doing it in her GCSEs I said no problem but let’s at least win this one first!

Not sure there is a series like this one anywhere because it’s so very good made in 1974 narrated by Lawrence Oliver a masterpiece…

Crewe and back

January can be a long month, dark damp and just dreary so when I was driving Lincoln to the Lyceum Theatre for his drama class in the dark with mizzle moistening my windscreen knowing I am going to go home for an hour then go back and pick him up.

I don’t mind, this isn’t a compliment this is just pointing out that if it was still light, warm, the sun still brightening the sky my mood would be so much better…

We have suffer January to appreciate the rest of the year but why does it have to be so looooong.

Bath Bombs

Who knew?

Jamie’s 45th birthday would be festoon with boxes of bath bombs of all shapes and fragrances, I think it must be a middle age thing because everyone bought her Da Bombs

Anyway I shared my first bath with a bomb tonight and Oh Em Geezy…it was just a bit more smelly (in a good way)! Not sure it had the promised relaxation properties it said on the box but with so many to choose from the next few weeks are going to be explosive because Im bombing every bath from now till they’re gone baby lol

Thespian in our midst

Lincoln’s options at school are coming up and tonight we got an email saying

2 subjects you definitely want to study

Religious studies & Drama

4 subjects you most want to study

Religious studies, Drama, Music & Performing arts

He loves all of the above and I will bend over backwards to make sure he is able to follow what ever dreams he has!

1 subject you would like to study if available

Motor vehicle maintenance ?

Dad while I am looking for acting jobs that  initially won’t pay well i need a trade and I love cars…

You have to give it to him he has his head screwed on for a 14 year old and although it would be nice if he could fix my car in the future I would much rather have a car that doesn’t work while watching my son performing on stage!

Heating the world

The bathroom window is such a bone of contention with me in winter and its cold you have a shower or a bath condensation  is on every surface and it needs airflow…but for fuck sake!

This morning I took Billy for a walk and as I washed him off I looked up and the bathroom window was wide open and the boiler was belting out steam and I’ll admit “I got a bit yampy”

Never thought I’d end up sounding like me parents but “Shut the bloody window DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO HEAT THE HOUSE?

Reagan just sees steam after a half hour shower so opens the window but that’s it she disappears upstairs and the whole house becomes cold!

The highs and lows

It was 01:21 when I was the highest it was 07:21 when I was the lowest.

As a Bronco fan I am used to highs and lows but this season there have been a lot of highs non more so than last nights Divisional Playoff win against the Buffalo Bills who beat us last year in the Wild Card round. A real nail biter was won 30-33 in overtime with a Will Lutz field goal which meant jumping around the living room screaming and then trying to calm down to try and get some sleep.

This morning I was awake at my usual time just after 7am and picked my phone up to wallow in Bronco glory only to see the news that Bo Nix our quarterback had broken his leg during the game? How could this be, I watched him him walk off he was interviewed on the field after the game…?

Apparently he fractured a bone in his ankle on the second to last play of the game and will miss next weeks Conference Championship game and if we win that the Superbowl too

In Jarrett Stidham we trust! #nextmanup

Stiddy looks to be one of the best backups in the league and Head Coach Sean Peyton paid him at the beginning of this season after making him his first season signing last year. You don’t do those things if you don’t trust he can play. Sean also believes he could be the number 1 QB for quite few teams but he’s our number one for the rest of the season.
