Nannie for Christmas

We didn’t have a Christmas with Nannie last year for two reasons, the first was COVID and the national lockdown we were in the middle of, so we all stayed at home which is fine if you love your immediate family as much as I do, it meant we had lovely day together but traditionally […]

Find something to smile about. Pt1

Reagan made me smile tonight, Daddy I got a raffle ticket today so I am in the draw for a laptop, as she TikTok danced in front of me. She has been fixated on the school raffle for a couple of weeks since they told her the top prize was a laptop, and she became […]

Boosted

Went to get my COVID booster jab today and it was really well run as it was when I got my first two jabs in the summer, from arriving and the car park attendants showing you to your spot right the way to being shown off the car park the same attendants. On arrival I […]

MADPL 21/22 – Week 2

Week 2 and a home game against Last Place Champions (Knights Grange) and after playing well last week and losing we wanted to bounce back but that’s always easier said than done but a couple of solid frames from LF & OJ got us off to a flying start but a refereeing mistake got to […]

My teeth are cleaner

Not because I now brush with an Oral B electric toothbrush but because I brush them twice a day everyday. I know that’s what you are supposed to do but sometimes if you nod off in the chair you just don’t want to clean your teeth at 2am even if you remember?

SNF on a Monday

Having been bumped to Primetime, because the NFL thought it was a significant AFC West divisional game between The Broncos and The Chiefs, means I have an early start on a Monday morning to watch Primetime Sunday night football. So having made sure everyone was ready for Monday morning we all went to bed at […]

I reckon I can do this!

Am I saying I can stay sober for a year…not sure yet, but I used a phrase yesterday which resonated with me “I am making, not having a drink the habit” and I think that’s what I am working on? It’s the daily drinking that brought me here not the special days, yesterday and Thanksgiving […]

Phoenix 5 – Wansfell Pike

Went to the lakes today with Phoenix 5 for the first time in two years and it was great to get out and be with the lads especially John who I always enjoy being around. It was an early start 5am and it was just John and I in my car because we are will […]

Christmas lights ON!

We went into Middlewich for the Christmas light switch on there is usually a craft fair and lots of fairground rides for the kids but again this year it was minimal but as always well attended. We met up with Kate Chris and their kids to watch the fireworks and go to the pub where […]

Naturalisation

Jamie has applied to the British Government to become a Citizen of Great Britain, to become a dual citizen like Reagan and Lincoln. It is the final step in her immigration journey, she does not have to do it because her Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) visa means she can live here without any other […]
