Armageddon? Arm a geddon out of here!!!


Worms Armagedon - the famous "CONCRETE DONKEY"!! from GoodDay on Vimeo
To continue on a theme introduced earlier - namely me getting thrashed by my kids at video games! For many years I've managed to hold my own in those wonderful (now classic?) games - Worms 2 and the newer Worms Armageddon.

Today my youngest boy - suffering from jet lag as he was - beat me two out of three times to claim the crown of household "Worm Master". He will be beaten soundly with a large stick later though!

Not that I wish to distract from his obvious (and increasingly strategic) skills - but he *did* manage to secure one of the most destructive weapons known to wormkind. The weapon of mass worm destruction to end all weapons of errr worm mass destruction.....the rarely seen "CONCRETE DONKEY". We just had to capture that one on video!!! Enjoy

Bike ride


Four weeks in a row, in winter, with no gloves!

Good day for a bike ride

Today felt more like May than the start of February! The sun was bright and warm, there were no clouds, and so for the second week in a row we headed out on our bikes wearing sun glasses (and no gloves!). It was a beautiful, uplifting afternoon. Shredded my rear tire on some thorns - but what the heck. It was worth it! I traced our route using the GPS in my cell phone and beamed back the results to SportsDo.Net. Jonathan Greenfield and his team there have a great website and so as well as enjoying a cold beer as soon as we got back - we were able to see what a pathetic pace we made going up Tom's hill and also that we were only going at 31km/hr coming down off the Ridgeway (felt faster!).
