Hooray! The first day of summer, the first day of my chocolate advent calendar and finally time to decorate my office at work (without people rolling their eyes...). My office is going to be even more over the top this year as we are having a "pimp your office" competition....

I was on baby duty for most of the day today while the family attended a festival at church. That means: bottle feeding, diaper changing and finishing up Season 3 of Fairy Tail (anime) on Netflix.
In a little over a week, Raph has gained over a pound. That seems insignificant until you realize that's about 13% of his birth weight. That's like if I gained 28 pounds in a week.
The mark of a delicious meal.
ALL - "Hot Rod Lincoln"
My pappy said "Son your gonna drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln"
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
Where the Fords and the Lincolns were setting the pace?
Well that story is true cause I'm here to say
I was driving that model A.
It's got Lincoln motor and its really souped up
And that model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall
It's got a four barrel carb, and dual exhaust
With four, eleven gears you can really get lost.
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
Breaks are good, tires fair
Pulling out of San Pedro late one night
With the moon and the stars just shining bright
We was headed up grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still
All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said "Boys this ones marked for me"
But by then the tail lights was all you could see
Now the fellas rid me for being behind
So I thought I'd let that Lincoln unwind
Took my foot of the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into over drive
Wound it up to 110
My speedometer said I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
And that's all there is, and there ain't no more
Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense
Those telephone poles were like a picket fence
They said "Slow down, I see spots!"
The lines on the road just looked like dots
Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clicking the guard rail post
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
We had smoke coming from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
But don't you know by then we'd be low on gas
I had flames coming from out of the side
Feel the tension, man what a ride
I said "Look out boys, I've got a license to fly"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by
All of the sudden she started knocking
Down in the dips she started rocking
I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln - Damn
The arrested me and they put me in jail
Called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said "Son, you're going to drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln"
Today we went to the pool - the first time in YEARS!!! It took a while to get Aleksandir into the water (aspergers syndrome) but once in he loved it!!!
Here he is playing "cowboy" pretending the float mat is a bronco from the rodeo ;)
Make baked berry oatmeal this morning before heading off to squash training. It's another recipe from Shutterbean and it's so good.

photo a day #6326
365/365 in 2021
Due to the cost of flickr and the limited benifit of it to me, I am discontinuing my paid account and will no longer be uploading my photo a day here. I will continue to post on sudweeks.net
It's a beautiful morning but I would still have opted for another couple of hours sleeping in! My first day back at work is not too bad though - there is a lot of catching up with people and I manage to plow through my e-mails. I am off again tomorrow though for the rest of the week on bereavement leave so it was just a small taste of normality. I will be back into it properly next week.

Day 62
Today I originally took a picture of a tortoise…..but it was a turtle disaster…(true story….)
So instead, as one of my pictures was published in the paper today, I thought my picture of the day could be The Journals picture of the day, of my picture of the day from Wednesday (…you following me?? haha!) www.flickr.com/photos/taipan1986/6942175173/in/photostream
Bit of a cheat but it is my rules :-D
Been to a comedy club tonight, seen some Mexican drawings that took me back to my childhood, met an old friend from school who will be in Australia when I am and had a beer which I don't drink until the end of the night cos it is a deadly one (but 8.5% of pure happiness!). All in all a pretty good night!!
You see the other two photos that I took today on my website at this link www.thebrewstop.co.uk/november-2022-day-gallery/7thnovemb...
Intend to do some work outside but it's raining so I tackle cleaning out the fridge and freezer instead.
