Bit of Paw Patrol in the garden. We don't get to play outside much since moving to California as my daughter and wife don't like the sun/heat.
Summer gets a bit too hot so it's nice to convince my daughter to play outside for a bit so I can utilise the weather/view

Flow on Amazon Prime. Fantastic movie. Watched it with my four year old, who got scared, and mother in law.
All had a great time. If you like this play the game Stray, and if you like Stray watch this .
Will definitely have to buy it, renting it is not enough

Work visit to Buenos Aires in Argentina. Ticking off another continent and country is an honor and a pleasure.
I've been representing @tfnationltd.bsky.social and Early Cricket Club with my attire.
The downside is being away from the family.
Here are a few images anyway.

Tidied up a few more bits from the display cabinet in case we move in the next few months.
I really like the cabinet though.

I had my Bradford Exchange Transformers clock arrive yesterday, but Soundwave was broken 💔 in transit, so I'm going to have to look to send it back.

It's a clear day in California, though I won't be here long as I'm off to the east coast for work.

I was born and grew up in the UK in Middlesex/Surrey, 15 minutes from Heathrow airport.
I moved out to California in 2023 and the view is certainly something that inspires everyday.
We don't know how long will be at this location, so we are grateful for the time that we have.

Just playing with my daughter and her Bluey toys.
I'm sure Honey has faded.
We gave away around 10 on Halloween (doubles of doubles).
Bluey is having a garden party.

Do I get anxious when my daughter is at her swimming lessons, due to how bad I am at swimming?
Fitbit says.. oh yet. Those spikes are a little higher compared to my normal rate
