Rollercoaster of life…?

Where do I start with what is going on in my life right now when I am sat downstairs having just played really well at pool and managed to draw a match against atop side from 5 3 down feels really good. I spoke to Lesley tonight and offered her £1000 to take whatever I […]

So much to dream about

Do I spend a Grand on tools I might never use, or tools I don’t have room for, Jamie has no idea what I am buying but noticed a glint in my eye and enthusiasm in my voice when I was telling her about bobbin disk and belt sanders router tables drill presses and Forstner […]

If…?

Sometimes all the planets align and everything is perfect but most of the time when planets get close to aligning I am doing something else and don’t notice… What if they’re aligning right now and I am actually staring at those stars? First round of redundancies were announced at work today and although I was […]

Mancave / Shed / moving on

After a whole week off work, pottering in the garden and working on me shed has moved the whole project on so much with the interior now fully panelled out, and the guttering attached. The rainwater now needs to be temporarily managed until I can get a pipe running the full length of Jamie’s office […]

Swaray

We did Halloween stuff this afternoon supporting a freind who runs Greg’s in Crewe and really promoting the season supplying pumpkins for kids to carve, we were worried Reagan and Lincoln might have been too old but oh no… They loved it and it was good to catch up with Helena and hear her story […]

Living my best life

A lay in till 9am, Billy, then breakfast followed by all day in the garden panelling out the rest of my shed…love it! I could have easily spent £60+ on plywood but decided to see what I already had and either made it good with me table and mitre saws or chopped it up to […]

Pottering is the best

I loved pottering in the garden today I got so much done including tidying all the wood I had surrounding me shed and utilising any that was not water damaged to panel the inside of gable end. I also utilised as much of Celotex insulation to cover the intended opening for the window, Anything that […]

Love is…

As we sat in me shed drinking beer just talking and I thought, this is what love is, well it is for me anyway! Not literally, I mean the mundane, I mean living life every second of everyday with the person you just want to be with, doing everyday stuff and just loving it.

Great night

Lincoln and I had a great night last night watching football Bills v Pats followed by Green Bay v The Broncos while Reagan and mommy went to watch the Taylor Swift movie in Chester. Pizza, Wings and beer (non alcoholic for Linc) we had a good time teaching him about the rules and, of course, […]
