Grumpy, (trying to be) kind & supportive, Dad of 3, separated, trying to keep going amongst the general madness. Just putting one foot in front of the other.

Run 114 of 2025 done ✅Rainy cold wet windy Saturday 10km because I had the time & inclination.
Now for some lunch & shower, not at the same time!
I’m actually off out locally for a beer & pizza later. I’ve lived here for 15 years & not once yet gone out with locals 🍻🍕😊

It’s my eldest son’s 21st birthday.
Around this time, 21 years ago I was probably just changing his first nappy.
He was born by emergency section after a very long & arduous labour. Everyone was exhausted.
He has grown up to be a wonderful man & makes me proud everyday 🥰♥️

Good morning lovely phone people.
Off early again down to HQ, to deliver a 2 day training course. It’s going to be a bit of a slog especially after a late night.
Hope you all have a great Tuesday, remember tits & teeth whether you’re feeling it or not! All the best Grumps 😊
