My boomerang boy has had a few knocks recently and needed a bit of a cheering up... Amazon deals offering a perfect solution... So I treated him to a Lego Technic Ducati... A cheap[ish] way of cheering him up and my reinstatement as #1 Dad... Would, of course, liked to have afforded the 'real deal' for him but hey ho...



Bit of a fib at the end there as it worries me poohless when either of my lads are out on two wheels... NOT because of any lack of care/ability on their part but the murderous intent of too many behind a wheel...

The music on this year's Sky Sports golf coverage.
A few weeks ago I was sat watching and it struck me how a certain section reminds me of Behind Blue Eyes by The Who.
Just now the missus pipes up and says it sounds like that song you used to play in your band, Behind Blue Eyes ?
Bit of an earworm now ?

For Valentine's Day my Mrs gave me a bar of Terry's Chocolate Orange. It was my first taste of chocolate since Christmas and it was lovely - though she ate almost half of it...but I am not resentful - it was for given sharing :)

Had to go to hospital for blood tests, a new system there in place. I needed two samples for different reasons but one of them required the first two to be thrown away and the third one used, so four lots altogether. A nurse who'd only done this for 4 months was very friendly and chatty and I warned her that I don't give up blood easily. She went for the inner elbow first, a little trickle then stopped decided to go for the back of the hand and finally got just enough for the four sample tubes - just!

Great banter, no hassle and a lovely lady- good the NHS when it works ??

Sounds more like a horror film than a comedy sketch! ?

Garmin Connect telling me my VO2 max is 49, Superior, in the top 5% for my age and I have a fitness age of 20.

Some of us will believe anything.??

I love cooking when I have the time, never got in to baking as much, mainly due to time and not having the gear I need. Most weekends I am now cooking a full 3 course meal for my wife and I just to give me something to focus on (my cheese and white onion soup this week was bloody marvelous even if I do say so myself).
