Medal number 8 in my #12medalsformum challenge. This was a 41 mile bike ride (I did 43.5 after missing a turning). Bearing in mind I’d not ridden a bike in 20 years in January when I signed up for this I’m pretty pleased.

Medal number 7 in my #12medalsformum challenge.
I did the 12km Total Warrior but they didn’t do medals for that distance this year, so we talked the organisers into giving me a junior medal.
It still counts!

I rang my Dad at lunchtime today asking if he fancied a visit from me tonight and he said yes and could I pick up the stuff to make a stir fry for our tea.
I arrived as expected at 6:30pm to find that he’d forgotten I was coming and had already eaten

Lots of very nice “Happy Fathers Day” things for people I know, but nobody is celebrating me for being a responsibility avoiding pisshead and it seems wrong that there isn’t a special day to celebrate people like me as well

I spent some time in the garden this afternoon chopping up branches so I can take them to the tip next weekend and the wife brought me out a Freddo when I’d finished as a thank you.
Now that’s the kind of thing I could get used to!

I followed a truck home earlier today they was labelled as a “Potato Merchant” and my first thought was that’s another job that I didn’t know existed and I probably would have quite liked the sound of on my careers test at school

A year ago I booked a gig and due to my Mum’s illness I was unable to go. However, new dates were added so I’m supposed to be going tonight and I’ve been counting down for 6 months.
Yesterday, I forgot to take my anti depressants so obviously now I don’t want to go anymore

An alternative landing technique by the Ryanair pilot who it seemed decided the fastest way to get the plane landed and stopped was to drive it as hard and fast into the ground as possible

You know that thing when you’re trying to dig up a dead tree and you give it a good tug and it snaps and you fall on the jagged edge and it goes into your leg?

A few years ago I set up reminders on my phone to go off before the birthdays of all my family as I’ve always been terrible at remembering to buy presents in time.
The reminder for my Mum’s birthday went off this morning and that’s knocked all the wind out of my sails this morning

Did some Mission Impossible-ing, then did an 11km run at the gym, now starting Code of Silence with a nice cuppa.
Very tempted to have a bank holiday beer with tea…… *thinks*
