This popped through, just to confirm everything and to set my mind at ease that I’d not booked transport and accommodation for nothing… absolutely bouncing!

Always a pleasure to meet, chat to and watch Black Stone Cherry on one of their regular visits to Glasgow. Tonight was Barrowlands. Their third (I think) show there, and my second seeing them.

Turns out, or I think anyway, that I have a leak behind the toilet which is a bad thing. When the cistern’s full, there’s a near constant “taptaptaptap” sound. I can’t see any sign of damp which means if it is a leak, it’s behind the wall or under the tiled floor. That’s going to be a job and a half to check. It’s times like this I’m glad I rent…
The upside? I figured out how the odd ballcock-substitute system works so I can stop it refilling while not having to turn the stopcock off all the time. Yes, those are nail clippers jammed into the workings. Yank them out, it fills and I can immediately flush then pop them back in again.

When you get home, aching and bruised. You finally take your groin guard off after 13 hours. You shower and realise that a) you’re sunburnt and b) you actually have no skin left on your elbow. And you have tons more memories after the weekend.
Having your eldest stay over the night (which she rarely does) and having such a good time with her. The weather being so bloody good (apart from 5 minutes on Saturday). Everyone at the Krav Summer Camp being so damn wonderful. Training for several hours on the heights of Arthur’s Peak in Edinburgh. Popping into the Commonwealth Pool for a sneaky pee at the start of the Sunday (it’s very swish). Sweating like twenty Gary Glitters in Mothercare, yet feeling like you could still give it more. Learning so much from beginners and experts alike.
Do Krav. Meet awesome people. And kick them in the junk.
Thanks to everyone at Rencounter Krav Maga for an absolutely superb Summer Camp!

Green fingers at work. The first flower from our little balcony garden opened today. Well chuffed! Looking at the buds, that part of “Pot A” will be absolutely blooming in a couple of days. Add this to Little Miss’s impressive broadbean and we’re doing well.
