Priorities reevaluated

I should have been there…!

Let me put my point of view here: I made a mistake and I felt embarrassed, which if you know me I struggle with but let me also say that at the AGM every year they(he) want people to join this league and the Summer League is a fun league yet tonight at 3 all they all coached Izacc to stay where he was and allow me “approach the table” and then shout “frame away” at that point for me the frame was over! It’s only a fun league until ALB makes a mistake, he should know better and this frame means more to TX than ‘fun’
That rule also meant more to ‘him’ than timing at that point because it benefited TX
The man’s a CUNT

Shine on me

Bought a Tornado 6ft LEDlight on the recommendation of R Kid having mentioned to him that I was thinking of buying 3 to illuminate me shed, to which he immediately pointed out how good they were and how much light they throw out,

Glad I listened to him because he was right it throws so much light out that even the shadows I was concerned about, just hanging a light about  me head, are barely noticeable

Let’s just say I am very pleased

Great Things

Spent yesterday afternoon travelling to London to watch Echobelly at the Lafeyette, we had a lovely meal at a posh Chippy before the gig.

The venue was OK very intimate but because we arrived 15 minutes before showtime it was difficult to find a good spot as it was sold out. We eventually settled for the auditorium to the left of the stage and during the show made our way nearer the front.

Echobelly were great and because of the early stage time we left in good time to have a few drinks afterwards at a bar local to the hotel.

Still buzzing (not just my ears) we made it back to the hotel, having had a great night out without kids…

Drinking thoughts Pt5487

I stood at 10pm making a sandwich last night after watching Lincoln play cricket at Alsager starving hungry but desperately not reaching for the wine hoping that I can have a night off…jeez it’s nearly bedtime you don’t need it!

Cricket net ready

I had long watched the cricket net become covered with moss over the last few years and in that time I have never seen anyone use it and I have wanted to clean at least one of them up so that me and the kids can use it instead of playing on the yard where we can not hit the ball.

So me and Lincoln set about clearing an inch of moss off the cricket mat with a shovel and a brush and uncovered a great track that we can now use throughout the summer whenever we want

Complete flop

A man should not love new flip-flops like I love mine…!

I have been flopless for over a year and now feel so stupid denying myself the comfort I now feel everytime I slide on these beauts

10,000 steps

Not fancying it at all but only having 4000 steps my suggestion of our Middlewich walk did not receive a glowing response, but temper that with the overwhelming satisfaction Jamie had after completing our walk with over 10000 steps was worth it

Dad time?

Lincoln seems very keen on cricket now the games have started again and although Sandbach CC U12s did not do very well against Wood Lane CC he was really lit up to go practice on Friday night so we went as a family and had a good night he got some good net practice in and we enjoyed the great weather in the beer garden at the club. 

On Sunday I was busy re-configuring the guttering on me shed as it was a really great afternoon bordering on being glorious, when he came and asked if I would bowl at him on the yard. I said give me a few minutes and then I will.

We then spent a hour just practicing and he absolutely loved it, commenting, when asked by Reagan then Mommy if he was going to band practice at church at 4pm, that he was enjoying cricket with me too much so would prefer to go at 5pm for youth. 

It really made me realise how much he enjoys spending time with, not just how much he loves playing cricket,  and it made me feel good too.

Fallen out of love

Blogging has become a chore just lately and that makes me sad because for so long my life was just how I like it, mundane and boring (to others) woke up walked Billy went to work came home had tea went to bed, but I do like a bit of routine.

Started a new job and find myself telling people it’s OK but there’s not enough work which really makes me sound like I am complaining about everyone else’s dream job and getting paid hansomly for but I need to put it into context. If I was working from home it would be perfect, allowing me to add my work to my phone and get on with other things between calls but in the office it makes for a long day hoping the phone rings… The great thing about the job is I know what to do because I have been doing it for different employers for 20 years

I should be blogging My Life Changing every day right now but I have fallen out of love a bit with blogging even though it is something I feel is important to me and my mental health. I felt as good mentally as I have for years while I have been able to unpack my days by writing them down. I am not sure whether there is any one reason I feel good right now maybe changing my job was what I needed bit I have felt good for a while now and hope it continues.

I know I need to start regularly blogging again because I like doing it bit if it’s a struggle then I am not going to stress about doing one every day.
