Tidying up and found a couple of old CD's with Photos written on them. They are from Christmas 2005 and March 2006 and have got my late Mum on them.

That's great that

Found a short video on it of my nephews playing some singing game, Ma was on it for a few seconds, its from the last Christmas I spent with her in 2005 (she went to Switzerland for her last ever Christmas in 2006). The best bit is, I thought I only had it on a phone that was stolen from the cab of a wagon, by some low life piece of shit Manc c*nt in Wythenshawe, who broke into it while I was unloading back in 2007.

Woke this morning at 5:15 to the sound of birds singing

Waking up 15 minutes before my alarm, which meant I was able to check out of my B&B 15 minutes earlier and get out of Western Hungary 15 minutes faster

It has 188m views on YouTube. Drake is awful.

Anyway, today is looking good. Long walk with dog, smoked thick bacon, egg and black pudding bars on return. Few pints later, hopefully with good news about new job.

When you drive in forwards into a car park space and the car in the opposite pulls out so can then use their spot and drive straight out. One of life's great victories...mental fist pump in my head every time 😎

Sean Fitzpatrick did a talk at my work which I was lucky enough to attend.

At the end he did the Haka on his own, bloody frightening.

one for driving

last night someone barged infront of me on a slip road, no thanks, nothing

on the motorway i got in the overtake lane first and stayed infront of him plus left him for dead in traffic. see ya

the other week actually some dickhead at a roundabout cut right across me in the wrong lane, he then purposely slowed down and even appeared to be laughing at me. however the thick c*nt had his van covered in company branding. i complained and the manager phoned me furious saying he found out who the driver was, they tore shreds off him and he has been warned if he does it again hes sacked. served him right

Being able to get out in the garden and start the spring tidying up.

The downside was finding cat shit. I'm becoming a felineaphobe.

I was up at 6 and out on my bike by 6.15.

A nice ride through Northumbrian countryside to Haydon Bridge and back stopping off at Hexham for refreshments.

Having a purge unsubscribing from the endless amount of shite emails I get on a daily basis. Got to the stage I was waking up to 40+ marketing emails but getting next to none now.
