HELP!
This is me right now stuck on the hard shoulder of the M42 south bound near j6.
Stupid stupid stupid.
I wasn’t paying attention and embarrassingly have run out of fuel.
Now wife and kids on a rescue mission to bring me fuel.
Big thank you to the highways agency who, although unable to bring me fuel, gave some great advice and were very supportive. They didn’t even laugh, well not to my face anyway.
*kicks self repeatedly*
Misty morning on the M6 motorway.
No really, it was breath taking. You had to be there I guess.
Son and his hero.
This is Son with his all time greatest hero.
No, it’s not me, I’m only his father and therefore the one who tell him off when he does wrong, makes him brush his teeth, do his homework… In fact anything he doesn’t want to do, that’s my job.
His hero is my Brother. He lives in Canberra, Australia. This is Brother’s first visit home for a number of years. Son has been waiting for this day for months and months, now Brother is here, Son will not leave him alone.
I’m not complaining, Brother is an excellent role model, spoils him rotten and loves him to pieces.
So many friends seem to be turning 40 this year.
Happy birthday Shyla, amazing party, perfectly organised and so much fun.
Remember, you are still only 18 years old, but now benefit from 22 years of extra experience.
Men on roof.
Curious, I wonder what they are doing?
Good morning sun.
The long road home.
Soooo tired…..
But I did get to see the tide coming in (or going out) the Mersey from an office window.
Just a moth.
Seen a few moths on here recently so I thought I would post one of my own.
Admittedly, it looked a lot better from a distance than from close-up. But there again, I’ve never seen a pretty insect. Ugly creatures all of them. (They probably think the same about humans.)
Let the battle commence.
I always lose because they gang up on me.
Impressive wheels.
Son: “Dad, can we get a car like that and you take me to school in it?”.
Dad: “Work hard and listen to your teachers, and maybe you can get one when you’re older”.
Out there
Far on the horizon
Just past the fluffy clouds and Quink blue sky
I’m sure I saw the sun.
In here
Near the ground
Just by the rough paving and metallic black tarmac
I’m sure I felt the warmth of the sun.
Tat.
Not even my kids, who normally fall for this kind of stuff, want this expensive tat.
Young man, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, ‘cause you’re in a new town
There’s no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you’re short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It’s fun to stay at the Y M C A.
