Chip of the Old Bastard

That Daniel kid impressed us at the weekend, while also being a snarky little bleeder.

We were at the park and he was being stroppy and not listening. Then he tried to jump off something and manages to smack himself.

Being the understanding and patient parent that I am I said 'That was a stupid thing to do wasn't it?' I followed this up by almost falling over a mushroom thing, but obviously in a classy way.

With impeccable timing Grumpy Dan said 'That was a stupid thing to do as well'. I managed to keep my angry face but Jacqui was almost crying.

Next day I told my friend Mary Ann, she laughed, Jacqui told her family, they laughed. It has been decreed that this was funny.
Touché Dan, touché.

Spoggle Update

Hello everyone, sorry for not posting earlier but I've been distracted.

Things are mostly going well here. I'm back to a weight loss plan. Dan is doing well now. And Jacqui is doing three lots of work.

January was crappy for colds and stuff, and the unseasonably warm weather has caused epidemic level allergies and coughs. But! Things are improving.

We have hit upon a formula to help Dan enjoy his skating, he doesn't like the lack of control so we're making things easier. Also Jacqui and I have both started to learn to skate.

Jacqui has exercise every Thursday at work, and then she's doing trampoline aerobics on Monday nights.
I'm making sure that I hit my 10k steps per day target and I'm getting to the gym three times a week.

And finally here are some pictures of the boy freshly crafted over breakfast this morning :)

First Gym Session of the Year and it felt fine !

Good work KJ suggesting the gym tonight and then bringing the whole clan :)

First time ever that I came out feeling energized and not whimpering.

If anyone else is interested
, personally I'm aiming to be there Wednesday and Friday 6:30pm and most Sundays around 9:30.
