After a day of frustration at work I forced myself to get into the shed and just do something, and I loved it, it was just nice to be out there. I removed 700mm off the temporary bench I had salvaged from the garage we knocked down to build Jamie’s office, and wow what an […]
Reagan and Lincoln have been rehearsing their church nativity for weeks and were desperate for me to be there to watch them both but I could not promise that because I would be in the Lakes. When I mentioned to the lads this morning that I would like to get home and they were all […]
A Phoenix 5 walk and weekend away is always something I look forward to but today was a winter walk with rain forecast all day. So when we arrived at the start of the walk and the rain was lashing against the windscreen, Chris Graham and I decided were not even going to get of […]
Today was all about preparing to go to the Lake District with me mates but looking at the forecast it was not going to be pleasant. We always get wet when we go walking but 9 December is a certainty I spent a little time in me shed trying to tidy my bench area which […]
It was disappointing to end last night the way it did, but I have always found it difficult to work through those types of emotions in that type of situation. I am amped up to play the game focused on playing well and to have to reverse that immediately I find that almost impossible when […]

Not sure why I have become scared to use my shed since buying new tools, but I have done nothing in there since? Tonight I moved some stuff and setup the pocket hole jig up and it was amazing… No idea why I have stopped being able to do anything in there…? I am going […]
I have a sharpening stone in my shed that if I spend a little time on I can sharpen any blade to shave the hairs off your arm sharpness, but it does come close to being blanked by Reagan that cut like the sharpest knife. A 13 year old child does not need a sleep […]
A nice day spent with Jamie laying in bed then Christmas shopping in Northwich while Reagan and Lincoln were at church rehearsing next weeks nativity production was perfect until the Broncos lost a really close game to the Texans. It was a 6pm kick off and annoyingly I had to subscribe to NowTV to watch […]
I can’t really explain how anxious I get when the time comes each year that they decorate the house for Christmas, it should be excitement or joy to see the Reagan and Lincoln feeling the same. Jamie knows I don’t like change and this always feels like change that needs to be resisted at least […]
