Things That Gladden The Heart

Looking in a cupboard for some ADSL filters for my in-laws phone line. Found my small Cannon digital ixus camera that I thought I had lost about 3 years ago.
 
Peter Kay going on tour again :)
We are up in Manchester for my birthday weekend at the beginning of Dec so hoping to get tickets for the opening date. Not too hopeful as we will be driving up north when the tickets go on sale so the Mrs will be trying to get some whilst we are in the car. We got some in 2017 for his cancelled tour but then i had 3 sites open on 2 devices and constantly refreshing - not so easy in the car. Fingers crossed
 
Taking our conservatory down this week - starting today.

Yesterday thought I’d contact the installers of over 20yrs ago to see if they had any build/install guide they could give me so I could do it in reverse.

Found myself speaking with one of the guys who installed it all those years ago…not only that…he remembers that one of the days I went to the pub to watch the rugby…it was March so would have been 6 nations. He recalled our conservatory, a bit vaguely, nonetheless he was able to provide guidance on how I should go about dismantling it and offered further telephone support if I need it. ??
 
Even more proud of the wife.

She interviewed this morning for the new job (in our daughter's school) what she been doing for 14 years just much closer to home (5 mins walk not hour on train)

They told her she will hear by end of week

She just got the call of the job offer

Going to be hard work for a year until the twins go pre school but hell couldn't be happier for her .
 
Just great sport for the next 2 weeks. Women's rugby union World Cup final on Saturday morning then the rugby league world cup semi final and a whole day of Home Nations rugby internationals. Cricket T20 world cup final Sunday morning followed by Scotland V NZ rugby

Next Saturday, the rugby league world cup final and a whole day of home nations rugby including England V NZ.

And the best thing, with the coverage being on free to air and Prime, I can watch every single match, most from the comfort of my garage bar.
 
Spent a quality evening with my 3 oldest mates last night. The first time we've all been together in over 5 years...and it's like we hadn't skipped a beat. I'd do anything for these lads, they are legitimately my brothers from another mother that I've grown up with for the last 34 years. Was a 4 hour round trip, but worth every second...got to watch one of my favourite bands with them (Deaf Havana) as a bonus too.
