My youngest really enjoy doing jigsaws and we set about trying to complete the 100 piece Spiderman challenge.

The (almost) immortal digital alarm clock
A few days ago was a sad day in our household. A digital alarm clock my wife had been using since her teens is no longer with us.
I have been utterly amazed at how long this (lovely looking thing?) has lasted for and a few days ago it finally gave up after a power cut.
They just don’t make tech like they used too!
What’s in my bag?
First of all, I guess it is the bag itself which is not included in the picture. My bag is a Case Logic 14inch Laptop bag. It is not that big and sometimes I regret not having purchased a larger bag so I can fit more in, however it has its benefit being a bit more compact.
Through Whitestake Ride
Another lovely Sunday morning ride through Whitestake this morning and then back home. 15 miles in total and the weather was perfect.
Evening Leyland Circumference Cycle
A lovely cycle around Leyland this evening in the warm but not too hot weather. Set off not really knowing where I was going and ended up doing 13.5 miles. Thoroughly enjoyable!
A Cycle in and Around Longton
It was lovely weather this Sunday morning and I headed out with my brother around the Longton area for a lovely cycle. Really enjoyed the ride in the flat countryside.
We managed 8 miles after a cycle to get started and it really felt like I could have done another 8. Definitely going to try and make this a more regular thing.
First Proper Bike Ride in Years
The weather this weekend has been glorious and with it being a bank holiday weekend it was perfect for getting out and about. I woke on Sunday and would have usually ended up lazing in bed and then watching football for most of the day. Today was different though as I decided enough is enough and headed out for a bike ride.
2018 Goal Updates – 1st Third
At the start of the year I decided (very unlike me) to set some goals for the year.
In fact I think I would rather call them targets. I am not sure why I like that word better, but I do.
First lets look at what these where:
Record 5k Run
Today was a long day at work with lots to do and to get through. This meant I had not managed to head out for my usual Monday run. After tea and with the kids in bed, I thought what can I do now?
It would either be slump in front of the TV watching football, or simply to continue with the mountain of tasks that I have to complete.
Sunday Morning Short Bike Ride
With the weather getting (a bit!) better, I decided a bike ride would be a good idea before watching the afternoon’s F1 race. I headed out with the boys heading nowhere in particular and we wound our way around Leyland for 4.1 mile ride.
