Schools out

Both schools broke for the holidays today and that meant party and films for Lincoln and early finish for Reagan Lincoln had a party and Christmas dinner at school and like all good parents we asked him about it “Did you have pigs in blankets?” “No just pigs!” LoL He is 11 years old and […]

But baby it’s cold outside!

Started with a sore throat yesterday but wasn’t sure I hadn’t been slightly sick in the back of my throat during the night caused by indigestion but when it didn’t go away and is still here this morning it meant I am ill again? I am not ill often and never usually for this long […]

No one knows…

I just watched a documentary on the life of #88 DT and how Demarius Thomas lived his whole life as a team player giving so much to others on and off the field and how loved he was but died alone just after retiring in 2021. No one knows when their times up so you […]

There is always hope

I enjoyed last night’s game even at 27-0 down and the O-Line being over run every snap it was OK because that’s what I was expecting, it’s been like that all season and two of our o-line were on the practice squad mid week but something clicked with the offense, just before the half. The […]

Christmas funday Sunday

Reagan was dancing first and then sang while Lincoln was a puppeteer first and danced second both were so good, as were all the children, […]

On a brighter note

We bought a LG TV 3 weeks ago and since then we have suffered the sound dropping out every minute or so for less than a second when watching the Sky Q box. I have been troubleshooting it for the last couple of weeks and narrowed it down to the Sky box, so I had […]

Penalties again…?

I have just watched England lose to France in the quarter-finals of the World Cup 2022 and although we played really well especially in the second half, we were slow out of the blocks in the first half and were 1 nil down at half time. In the second half we ran France ragged for […]

Last Christmas (fair)

Lincoln had a busy night at his school Christmas fair taking part in the KS2 Choir and playing his saxophone in the school orchestra alongside selling hot chocolate reindeer bags for the Dragons Den project his class have been working on for weeks. He did brilliantly at all three and watching him and his friends […]

Scared half to death

It was COLD this morning -2? and the kids took great pleasure in reading off the forecast from their phones that it is going to snow for a week starting at 5pm tonight! Reagan was so excited at the thought of snow but Lincoln’s excitement was tempered by the killjoys at school who hate snow., […]
