Got to go to a 'family' reunion.

Not my family, the wifes. My family consists of me and my kids, not some 20 times removed Auntie from Birmingham whose first words are 'How lovely to see you again, who are you?'.

I have to be polite, eat crappy little sandwiches and I even am expected to pay for the fuel for the journey because my car is the only one big enough to get everyone in.

The London Marathon.

I've entered the ballot for at least 8 years, although probably more and never got a place as I refuse to do the 'charity' bond place con.

And then I see endless amounts of people in 'questionable' shape crossing the start line and some people walking after virtually no distance. Why enter if you're not going to give it a decent effort and put some training in?

Flat battery on the Fazer this morning. Bugger. On the charger, I'll see how it comes up, but definitely means a new one before my Euro trip. More expense

Dog pawed my face today in her usual "I'm so glad you are awake and downstairs with me again" morning ritual.
Damn near took my right eye out and have had something in the same eye all day which obviously originated from
her paw. Shes getting to be a pretty big girl now and it was like being punched.

Seller on Gumtree flogging a petrol strimmer. Called him up, told him I was on the way and when I got there (15 minutes later), he tells me it's sold.

I know it's first come first served but he could have told me that someone else was interested.

Nah, I'll just send a Pizza or 3 to his house probably, or advertise something usually expensive for a silly cheap price around Christmas time.

PS4 PRO with 10 games and 2 controllers; boxed as new £110 ono.

Maybe, if I can be bothered.

Here is something else that will keep me awake at night, Nintendo mini nes consoles.

Before Christmas they were selling at £50 or thereabouts. I did a foreigner for a guy who worked at Tesco and he had 4 of them. Rather than pay the £130 for the work I carried out; he offered me 4 of these brand new boxed. I of course took the cash.

They are now worth £142 EACH exchange at CEX, rare as chicken dentures..

8/10 for the guess. Hi Tech trainer brand and yes Netto bags and I wear anoraks all the time.

Last thing for today that gets my goat, people who cough and don't cover their mouths. Town this afternoon and in WHSmith a man in the queue couldn't stop hacking and coughing and transferring phlegm between his nose/mouth/throat.

Dirty dirty people.

'kin Nintendo discontinuing the Nintendo NES Classic mini. I really wanted one, I just didn't want to wait for the price to drop back to the nominal RRP. I refuse to pay £230 for one on Amazon.

Hopefully the SNES classic mini will be half decent.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

The car's leaking something, maybe diesel.

Only a slight drip ad fortunately its due a service but still a pain.
