Success! My joy in successfully navigating my way through my bedroom, the landing and his room without stepping on anything painful or making any noise (apart from the conveniently loud floorboard located all too close to his bed) was only slightly marred by the realisation that I'm clutching what o...

I'm also stopping up late to wait for my son to fall asleep so I can do the tooth fairy thing.

I went in at 2315 but he was still awake, he almost busted me trying to do the sleight of hand tooth/money swap shenanigans.

It's almost an hour later, he's got to be asleep.

I'm going in...

Been on the phone to Sky today. I wanted to upgrade our broadband as the kids are always on it, and it can make online gaming problematic, especially when I'm trying to get a win in Warzone! Anyways, by pricing it up online I would've saved 6 quid, but I wasn't sure if we'd retain the phone package ...

Just entered the world of Netflix.


There was too much choice so I turned it off!


Rocky IV was on TV so that was that!

Binge watched Truth Seekers and Brave New World.

Enjoyed both.

Need to get in with the Mandalorian now.

It's not out of the question. I definitely need to find my mojo again to justify it though.

First thing's first, I need a house!

Today I am waltzing back into the forum and pretending that I haven't not been on for a while. (bandit) The looming job location change has finally been reviewed and with some suitable chest-poking to the relevant people from my manager, I have been allowed to stay at my current location until my ti...

Absolutely.

Military Skills Training.

I don't know, I've maxed out the battle pass on Call of Duty since I've been WFH!

Any good?

Looks pretty sharp.

I hadn't.

I'll have a look.

5k might be optimistic.

I don't honestly know, tbh.
I thought I'd have the bike until it died, long after I'd got another one, but things change I guess.

How much would your bike sale raise ? Looking at Bike Trader, maybe somewhere around the 5 grand mark? Z1000 2012 plate Just under 10,000 miles It's got some nice bling on but that won't really count for anything. The fact that I couldn't find my service book the last time I had it serviced won't h...

What about selling the current bike and replacing with a cheaper bike and car. Best of both worlds. Nice 100 mile commute on the bike and the car if the wether is bad. I'd have to sell the bike to allow the funds for a car. If I split that fund between a car AND a bike I'm not sure I'd have a decen...

It's all good mate, it's my own fault. It'd be a nice day and I'd come up with a rubbish excuse as to why I shouldn't go out on it. I don't know, maybe I just lost my mojo a bit and this new work situation has compounded matters. Hopefully the move won't come until November, by which time I can appl...

That's what I thought.

I'm sure if I do make the trade it'll only be temporary. I'll have 2 years there and then that's my time in the RAF done, and I'm sure there'll be a nice bike waiting for my bonus.

How come? Because you're not using it? Partly that, partly down to a possible change in my work situation. Basically, I'm coming up to the end of my 5 year tour at Cosford. I've asked to extend it, so that I can do the last 2 years of my career here. The powers that be have said no, so I'm left wit...

Considered selling it.

I've got to say, I think it's fantastic.

It's got a good balance of science IMO to make it easy to understand but still rammed full of information.

And the visuals are stunning as well, which helps my child-like brain absorb it all!
