The difference a year makes…

My soccer game on sunday was called after 80 bone-numbing minutes when the freezing rain turned to hail, so it’s fair to say that winter has officially started.

Losing your cool

Sometimes it happens.

Sometimes it happens when you have a frame pump in your hand, desperately trying to @#^$ pump up the %*# tyres on the %$@ pram so you can get out of the @#$@ house and hope the *!@$ screaming stops.
