Love the darts

As I drove home from horse riding Reagan said she might want to be a lawyer instead of a marine biologist because mom said being stubborn is a really good asset if you are a lawyer and I am really stubborn….lord help me! I reassured her that she can be anything she wants to be […]

How much can you bench?

With s bench now installed in me shed and an idea how my window frames are going to work I just need a few more bits of wood to start the window build!

John’s 70

We were invited to my friend John Garners 70th birthday party tonight and I looked forward to taking my whole family out for a drink and a bit of a buffet. Although it was not really the children’s thing they were so well behaved and I was so proud of them. My favourite part of […]

Dart update

For the last couple of weeks I have relaxed and finally found my rhythm and everything seems to have clicked, with scoring becoming easier and certainly doubles and generally my aim away from 20s is good. It means practising now is fun and I can see progress with my all round game and its always […]

A reason for living?

All I want is to give him the opportunity to love cricket as much as I do and watching him play fills me with so much joy! As we drove home last night he was so excited to recount what he’d just done was absolutely brilliant. Maybe he might one day be 53 years old […]

Bunbury away

Step up to U13s

Tonight Lincoln was asked to play for SandbachCC U13s and he was asked to field which did diligently where ever he was told to, generally between mid on and deep mid wicket so did a lot of running at each change of over. He did not complain but was visibly disappointed as the Middlewich innings […]

Never shit on your own doorstep

I went out this afternoon and met up with John and really enjoyed letting me hair down with me best mate. Jamie had taken Reagan to Chester earlier leaving me and Lincoln to our own devices so we went to get Nannie a pot with a few plants in it for her birthday tomorrow. After […]

180 and pottering

It was a lovely day and perfect for pottering, we walked the Middlewich Walk first thing got some plants and compost from the garden centre and spent the rest of the day pottering in the garden occasionally going to my shed to play darts where I scored another 180 the second in as many days
