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 🍻🍕😊

Good morning lovely BS friends. I’m still in bed, having a rare & well earned lie in.

What are you lot up to today?

Good morning lovely people in my phone.
Early Monday for me, as I’m off down to HQ. The 1st of 3 this week, intermingled with some dental surgery too. Fun times.
Hope you have a good week & Monday is kind, all the best Grumps 😊

Run 111 of 2025 done ✅WFH lunchtime 40mins in the warm sunshine.
I felt like it was so slow & you can match the pace to the hills!
Mind you I also was knocked over by a car so that put me off my stride a little.
Nevermind, it is what it is
Have a great afternoon 🏃🏻♂️😊

The other guy in the 1st photo is his Stepdad, who we jointly took 21 out a few times in day trips.
We were dubbed his two gay Dads by some of his mum’s friends, which we wore as a badge of honour.
We all have a really happy healthy relationship.
& 21 is dancing with his Mum🥰

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 🥰♥️
