theres this thing about having kids,

Full adults, but not quite fully fledged. 
I’d like to think I’d also do things for a good friend as well but that’s never been tested to the full.

Went with both grandsons to an escape room today.

By the time I had read the initial clue, youngest one had solved the puzzle and moved on to the next one.  I followed him round looking bewildered. Apparently we (he) set a record for completing it. You are given 60 minutes, he did it in 47 minutes.

Flippin’….anyway. I think you need to get back to the boat Kate.

My day yesterday was a very long one....

It started at 6am on Friday in Accra, Ghana then to the Ghanaian Police Academy to conclude the final day of a 2 week strategic command course as part of the UKs capacity building programme with the M.O.D.

After the day concluded I had some food, then made my way to the airport for the 10.20pm flight to Heathrow...but it didn't take off until 11.15pm!

Then a flight which landed at terminal 3 around 6.15am

Through security, to the car park to collect my car and the drive home.

I arrived back home around 10.30am on Saturday 

Then it was a day of trying to stay awake....so I could get my body clock back to normal 

In the evening I caught up on 2 episodes of Dave Whitworths videos and then hit the sack early evening as I couldn't hold my head up any longer 

Loooong tiring day but extremely successful trip.

Went out early this morning to wash the wife’s car. It has to be relatively early as the front of our bungalow faces south and the only shade I get is created because the garage is set back a little from the front of the bungalow itself.

With the car washed and dried, I moved it back to dress the tyres and noticed a screw in the tread of the offside front one.  To make it worse, it was near the shoulder of the tyre and could render it irreparable.  I contacted a local tyre dealer, who supplied them about a month ago and they were able to get one in for this afternoon.

As I suspected, it was too close to the shoulder of the tyre and was scrapped.  They did me a deal on the new one with a decent 20% discount, but still relieved me of £161.

When I got home, the wife told me that we’d had a win on the Postcode Lottery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .and she’d receive the £5 in the form of an e-voucher.

I suppose I should be grateful that I spotted the problem on my drive and didn’t have a blow out at speed, but having to bin an almost new tyre does hurt!
