Walking

I have managed to walk the legs off myself this weekend. Between Pokémon go and sugar skull trails with the kids. 

But it’s all worth it when they win a prize at the end. 

Plus the extra work out is great. 

Pokémon go

Myself and 2 kids have been playing this game since it came out. I think it is genius. Getting parents who loved it as children, to interact outdoors with their children. 

I used to sometimes struggle to get the boys to walk but it’s so much easier when Pokémon are involved. 

I know it’s had it’s time and maybe starting to die off a bit but I’m still walking those eggs and trying to catch them all. 

Swimming

So a few things I found out tonight about swimming. 

First when swimming beside someone else in another lane, don’t race them, they don’t know you are racing them and they are probably a better swimmer. You are tiring yourself out. 

And second it makes you so hungry. 

Trolls

Took the kids to see trolls. 

It’s an enjoyable watch, plenty of laughs with songs that will get stuck in your head for days. 

The story telling is pretty good, keeping the kids transfixed and the adults entertained. 

I liked it. One of the joys of having kids is able to go to watch cartoons at the cinema in the middle of the afternoon, without looking like a weirdo. 

7/10 in my opinion. 

Week 4

Zero weight lost this week. I managed to stay the same weight, which is weird,as I have cut a lot out of my diet over the past month. 

In total I have lost half a stone in a month. 

Need to get more exercise. 

Books

I have always enjoyed reading but for some reason I do more of it in winter than summer. 

I always try to read during summer holidays or in the garden on a sunny evening but can never get as involved in the book. 

Wonder if others are like this or is this one of my many idiocies. 

New toy

So today I gave in and bought a new iPhone 7 Plus. 

It’s a new shine toy and I love it. 

The next few days will be spent playing around and figuring out how the new features work. 

Wish me luck. 

Busy days

The last few days have been crazy. It feels like I haven’t stopped. Travelling around the countryside to drop off kids at parties and clubs they are part of. 

Of course none of the times line up so I’ve spent the majority of the time in the car. 

One of the things I did see though was a house decorated for Christmas. 

I was about to go off on a rant about how it was too early when my eldest said something that never crossed my mind. 

He said “Maybe they are having a Christmas party for someone who’s going away and won’t be around for Christmas”. 

There is always another way to look at things. He really did put me in my place.

Eleven

The amount of years I have been married. 

Still to this day my wife amazes me. So kind, intelligent, beautiful and loving. 

She makes me smile every day. 

Halloween

So the kids have started to decorate the house for Halloween, which is grand, I love this time of year. 

What I didn’t love was the fact some one had put their ghost face mask in between the coats on the hat stand. 

Freaked me out as I came down the stairs. Heart pounding moments. 

Can’t shout at the kids though, love the creativity for where they think a good place for scary things are.
