It’s the day for challenge number 9 in #12medalsformum.

This time a muddy and wet 15km Tough Mudder in glorious Skipton!

Once stood at the urinal next to Leeds player Gary Kelly at a Kula Shaker concert

This album is class, if you like your hip hop fast and dirty then give these guys a listen

That album is sooooooo good

Legs are fine, my bum is less fine but nowhere near as bad as it was after my last practise ride

Thank you, turns out all that time on the exercise bike in the gym was worth it

Medal number 8 in my #12medalsformum challenge. This was a 41 mile bike ride (I did 43.5 after missing a turning). Bearing in mind I’d not ridden a bike in 20 years in January when I signed up for this I’m pretty pleased.

You so smol

My favourite thing about beers is the general deliciousocity

Medal number 7 in my #12medalsformum challenge.
I did the 12km Total Warrior but they didn’t do medals for that distance this year, so we talked the organisers into giving me a junior medal.

It still counts!

13 hours until the next challenge in my “12 Medals for Mum” charity thing and u’m doing my best possible preparation by drinking beer in the garden

I rang my Dad at lunchtime today asking if he fancied a visit from me tonight and he said yes and could I pick up the stuff to make a stir fry for our tea.

I arrived as expected at 6:30pm to find that he’d forgotten I was coming and had already eaten

Lots of very nice “Happy Fathers Day” things for people I know, but nobody is celebrating me for being a responsibility avoiding pisshead and it seems wrong that there isn’t a special day to celebrate people like me as well

I spent some time in the garden this afternoon chopping up branches so I can take them to the tip next weekend and the wife brought me out a Freddo when I’d finished as a thank you.

Now that’s the kind of thing I could get used to!

So I’ve gone into the garden with a nice beer and some nice music for a snooze

Watched Captain America - Brave New World this afternoon.

I’m basically at the point now where I go into very Marvel film expecting them to be shite and I’m very rarely let down

I have medal number 6 in the “12 MedalsforMum” challenge. If you want to read about what I’m doing and why, share or sponsor, feel free to share or click the link below…..

It is the morning of challenge number 6 of the “12 Medals for Mum” challenge.

Quite pleased that the thunderstorms that have been forecast all week seem to have gone

If only there was a potato merchant in the world, I reckon they’d be able to sort you out

Careful, you’ll get sued

If I ever get round to having a will I’m going to have those details on my headstone

That’s how I’d like people to describe me when I’m gone

Happy slightly belated birthday @ronfleasley.bsky.social , may your beard be luxurious, thick and shiny for many years ahead!

It does, but also mysterious and sexy and carb-y

I followed a truck home earlier today they was labelled as a “Potato Merchant” and my first thought was that’s another job that I didn’t know existed and I probably would have quite liked the sound of on my careers test at school

I did go and it was really, really good even if I still felt a bit sad and rubbish

I’m sure I will, I think this mornings tablet has kicked in now so I’m feeling much better.

But thank you, you are an excellent person x

A year ago I booked a gig and due to my Mum’s illness I was unable to go. However, new dates were added so I’m supposed to be going tonight and I’ve been counting down for 6 months.

Yesterday, I forgot to take my anti depressants so obviously now I don’t want to go anymore

I’ve been cycling for 6 months now and I’m not sure at what point in my cycling journey my gooch should become tougher than leather but I’m not there yet
