First date in ages, just the two of us. Years, in fact.

Weather was gorgeous almost as warm as it was on this day 12 years ago.

Finally got some steps on the Fort so the lady can play on it.

She's now discovered that it's a good spot to hide when she's told to come inside.

Now just need to add some defensive weapons.

Still a long way to go but the garden is slowly taking shape.

It's also nice to actually be able to enjoy it on a sunny day.

#myscshome has a chest of drawers in the bathroom, a sofa in the kitchen, a side table in the toilet and the kids toys in the loft. Because, for the second time now, we've cleared out 5 rooms of our house ready for @scssofas and they haven't turned up.

Although, it took me calling 4 times today (talking to about 7 people) to find out that despite them confirming yesterday the fitter was coming, he wasn't coming.

This time around they were supposed to fit badly fitted wavy carpet in several rooms. Replace carpet fitted with a hole in it in another. Stairs where the carpet has just come away. And many other issues, 6 months after the last fitting.

Apparently fixing woodwork on stairs they broke and skirting boards they've pulled off the wall isn't their problem.

I figure you can guess where I'm going with this. Don't use SCS for carpets, or in fact anything, because if there's a problem it's going to be so painful to sort out.

Little bit of family cycling fun in the Forest of Dean today.

Also first time I've hit(or missed) any jumps in a little while. Very rusty, but it was fun.

Celebrating this Mum today with a proper English afternoon tea, after we worked up an appetite with a hilly bike ride.

Thank you @louisesuttie
for all the mothering you do for our little kiddies, and me ❤❤

When I was a youngen I wanted to write scores for

When I was a youngen I wanted to write scores for films and TV shows. Writing little incidental ditties, theme tunes and music that helped tell the story.

I loved the idea of having a studio somewhere up in the hills with a grand piano, polished wood floors and a panoramic window.

It hasn't happened yet, and probably won't, but you never know.

The closest I've got so far has been writing music for a few TV ads. They're like little mini-movies I guess. Although they haven't paid for a house in the hills, the royalties helped pay for most of my music gear.

I also got to hang out with a mate at Abbey Road while an orchestra recorded the strings for his band's album. It was the same studio so many massive movies like Indiana Jones & Star Wars were recorded in. Fun times
