Things That Gladden The Heart

Took the littlest ones to Cranwell Aviation heritage center today. Not much there tbh but the kids made the most of it there playing on the flight simulator, learning how air drops work and talked me into a couple little RAF toy planes. As a result littlest one says when she's a big girl she wants to be an RAF lady we'll see how long that lasts 😂

For now we have a tent built of blankets and pillows in the front room watching Disney films with the rain coming down outside.

Going food shopping by myself which has caused Mrs D a random irritation as there’s not much room in the caravan for the stuff I’ve bought
 
Finding out a very good friend has got engaged. He lost his first wife to cancer about 7 years ago and really lost the plot big time and it was touch and go he'd actually get to 50 himself. Seems a different man now and his new lady who I met for the first time today seems a great match for him.
 
The Sunningdale curse continues, last visit my eldest broke her ankle whilst we were finishing at NEW Zealand course.

Today After a bad few hours the hospital have discharged my eldest. Collapsed this afternoon at a family do.

Appears to have just fainted, but freaked me out I don't mind admitting!

Glad all ok though Dave
 
It’s good to see that the new Lib Dem leader wants to do what’s best for the country and is willing to enact democracy by supporting a second referendum to allow the public to decide now that we have a much more clear picture of the shambles that Brexit is proving to be and the negative impact it’s having on the economy and society.
 
Number 2 daughter. A single mother who, as her daughter is now a bit older(9), has decided she needs to get a better job. She now has 3 jobs, spanning 6 full days, which will become one full-time job at the local school in Sept. A very proud dad.
 
Lovely day out in Bakewell with Missis Tash. Could watch them trout in the river for hours. Missis T been to the gym tonight so are pigged out with a hot homity pie and a mahoosive vanilla slice. Happy days.
 
Good customer service from....wait for it.....
GoKart!!!
At Sunningdale, my trolley tipped over on a slope and the GPS holder took the brunt of the fall.
I tried glueing it but it wasn't happening and on Friday it died altogether.
Got home from golf and work about 2.30/3pm, ordered a new one with a quoted delivery of 3-5 days.
Guess what turned up at 9.30 today....
Well done GoKart(y)
 
We have taken in a lovely stray tom cat (although our current antisocial little a-hole cat isn't too happy), he's been coming around for a couple of weeks, obviously infested with fleas and all sorts and with facial wounds that looked angry.
Today we decided to do something about it and lured him in to a carry box, got him to the vet. Antibiotics, flea treatment and pain meds later he is now acclimatising to our house (and the a-hole cat) and looks like he will be on the mend soon.
Although he is very thin, he still weighed in at 5.3Kgs and we are feeding him up and giving him a warm and dry home forever.
