Locking things up and going to bed to find the dog as always instead of in his bed, he's lying outside the kids bedroom doors as he does every night from the moment they go to bed till the moment they get up just incase they need someone, something or protection.

Catching and releasing a 4½lb sea bass just as the sun was slipping over the horizon.
My first fishing trip for about 30 years.
Nine mackerel and five bass on an idyllic evening off Portland Bill.

My mate kept some of the mackerel for bait, but the sea bass were all released, sorry.

Seems a good opportunity missed... My old mum saw her days out by the sea... One of her neighbours worked a day boat and kept her well supplied with fresh fish... When visiting it was an absolute treat when he left a freshly caught sea bass for my supper... No fancy cooking needed the freshness of the fish guaranteed all the flavour...

Agreed, they are beautiful to eat and, to my mind, equally beautiful to catch and then watch swimming back to the depths.
If we'd had cooking facilities I'd have opted for a fresh grilled mackerel sandwich!

Rammstein putting on one of the best shows I’ve ever been at tonight. Anthem after anthem with amazing pyrotechnics and the crowd hanging off every line.

My 7 year old daughter come back to a rude kid at gymnastics this evening.

Little girl the same age but lot bigger said to her why are you so short! Her reply "I don't know ask my mummy & daddy they made me. Should I ask yours why you're so mean" 😂

Literally laughed, looked at the other kids parents who promptly apologised for their daughters behaviour and had words with her. That child of mine has never ever cried at a bully she's always had come back either physical or with a quip. She's even the one who stands up for her big brother 😂

Just back from a throughly enjoyable afternoon at the Woodhall Spa 1940s weekend.

Had a great walk round village, watch the Lancaster fly over head barely above tree level, saw some beautiful old cars and motorbikes, kids and Mrs thoroughly enjoyed it to even made me wanna sign up again 😂

Then as we're we setting off the rest off the BBMF flew over.

Shiny new bikes. Added a scrummy Specialized hybrid to my little collection and so far have loved riding it despite not being bike fit. Feels good to get a better balance between golf and other hobbies and the new bike might just achieve that.
