Run 111 of 2025 done ✅WFH lunchtime 40mins in the warm sunshine.

I felt like it was so slow & you can match the pace to the hills!

Mind you I also was knocked over by a car so that put me off my stride a little.

Nevermind, it is what it is

Have a great afternoon 🏃🏻‍♂️😊

Good morning lovely phone people.

I’m off up to our factory today for a supplier meeting & to escort them on a tour of our facility.

Spot of lunch, bit of schmoozing & then back to wrangle with teenagers.

Hope you have a good day Grumps

The other guy in the 1st photo is his Stepdad, who we jointly took 21 out a few times in day trips.

We were dubbed his two gay Dads by some of his mum’s friends, which we wore as a badge of honour.

We all have a really happy healthy relationship.

& 21 is dancing with his Mum🥰

It’s my eldest son’s 21st birthday.

Around this time, 21 years ago I was probably just changing his first nappy.

He was born by emergency section after a very long & arduous labour. Everyone was exhausted.

He has grown up to be a wonderful man & makes me proud everyday 🥰♥️

Hope your Monday is kind to you

I also did this about 4 hours ago after I’d dropped my boys off at their Mum’s.

Spent 3x what I should have including pasty & ingredients for an open Mediterranean tart thingy.

Oh which I’ve eaten far too much… 🫣🥴
