Snowww excited

Reagan and Lincoln got home from school and asked if they could go outside and play in the snow, which I immediately agreed to, because for them to want to go outside is rare especially when not being made to. Although I was still working I watched them for a while, playing in the street […]

Never seen him happier

The post below was in my drafts from 2016 (for some reason I didn’t finish or publish it?) It just made me smile and think he has grown up so much since then yet only now is he again thinking about his own style and wanting to look like his favourite YouTuber (who’s name escapes […]

Play well & lose

Without practice playing pool is hard, we get no table time on a Wednesday so generally the only frame I play is in the match, so I have to accept that against players who are playing many frames per week probably every night I am going to struggle. That said playing on instinct serves me […]

Man wakes up on the sofa in his PJs on a Friday night, sober, with a hot cup of coffee, a plate of chocolate chip cookies, watching Beverly Hills Cop while his wife is out on the lash with friends, and wonders what the hell happened in the last 14 years….?

What a day

Reagan text the Family WhatsApp group from school to let us know she had attained the highest test score in the whole of year 8 in RE, which blows me away she makes me proud and really is doing fantastic at school. Mommy informed me that she had purchased plane tickets to go ‘home’ something […]

The Bills

Playing the Boars Head over last couple of years has been a strange affair after a home game refereeing decision I made did not go their way and the Bills brothers really vented their anger towards me. Unfortunately this has resulted in quite a bit of tension between them and me especially Les who can […]
