Oh man, so much has happened since my last blog post. I’ve turned into a gourmet chef, changed my name and been quite nifty. Life does feel kinda different at the age of fifty.
Foods that I’ve cooked over recent days include a pepper & tomato sauce with tomato & mozzarella tortelloni, cheesy black bean enchiladas, pan-fried steak with black bean veg and rice, fragrant chicken balti with basmati rice, veggie goulash with potato cakes and soured cream, a chicken ‘something’, spicy chicken with zingy spinach quinoa and avocado and many more besides. SJ informs she is going to continue working full time for a spell so that means my cooking stint will continue. My delights don’t taste too bad, shame my girls won’t give it a try.
As a family we visited the seaside recently. This was pretty awesome as Ernie was able to run on the sand and swim in the sea for the very first time ever. Lovely day out despite slightly burning in the sun.
Saw the Pixies play for the first time ever in May. This was such an awesome gig and they played like 28 songs. Went with Phantom and Tim Walton (Timmo). Just to avoid any confusion, Timmo and Phantom would address me by my new nickname ‘Merlot’. (Merlot came about after a rather wild and vivid dream, though that’s another story for another time). Not long after the gig, my ‘Bossanova / Trompe Le Monde - Live’ vinyl (2025 RSD) turned up in the post. Aces!

My daughter Moo got awarded with a Star of the Week award at school. This was great especially as I was able to watch her being awarded. When she collected her award she said ‘don’t ask me any questions’ to the teacher.

| Hello Ernie... |
Have now completed 88 ParkRuns and my last event was at Arrow Valley. My time was 24:52, which is my fastest this year. I finished 111/482. Super pleased with this run especially as I beat all my running club buddies that were there including Ernie and John L. Doubt I will ever beat my PB which remains at 21:39.
