🥳 Turned 46 this week. Got an amazing present from Katey; the gastronomic bible! 😍

🥩 Steak and chips with a blue cheese sauce for birthday dinner 🤤

🎂 Even had cake (Booths' Apple & Blackcurrant Crumble cake, so good) with candles. Feel very loved 🥰

💼 Last day in the office for a couple of weeks; some working from home but mostly off over Christmas 🥱

🎯 Completed the archery course with a competition (shooting balloons). Finished 2nd. Paid my subs for the year and now a member of the club! 🥳

💼 Final appraisal at work. No notes. Can work from home before Xmas!

🎯 We had a competition at archery this week. 6 ends, scoring for the first time. I definitely do better under pressure! 2nd out of 11 people 🥳

🎰 Went to bingo for the first time in my life (work outing). It was really good fun! Cheap prices at the bar too. Didn't win anything but some people were winning thousands. I'll go again! 😂 👨‍🦳

🃏 Poker league final on Saturday. 8 players, I went in with a four-point lead. I needed to finish 5th to clinch it. Ended up winning the whole damn thing (4th win of the season) after a dramatic heads-up with Harry 🥳 🏆️

🎯 Archery lesson 4/6 ✅ Got to see a longbow and a flatbow in action; very cool. Not impressed with my aim this time though! 😫 Katey was brilliant! 😍

😋 Went out for lunch with my team on Friday to Abingdon Street Market and demolished a filthy bacon and cheese smash burger 🍔

🧁 Had a mooch about St. Anne's on Sunday morning; went to an excellent patisserie for cakes and macarons

😴 The laziest of lazy weekends, eating nice food, watching TV and films ❤️

🎬️ Skyfall (2012) ★★★★☆

📺️ Finished watching The Studio — hands down the best show I've seen this year ★★★★★

🔋 Ran my car battery flat over the weekend; only realised when ready to go to work on Monday morning 🤦🏻‍♂

🎯 Had my first archery lesson this week. Katey and I both loved it! Cannot wait to go back for my next lesson (every week for six weeks).

🎂 Celebrated my great-niece's 4th birthday at a Frozen-themed party ❄️

🃏 Poker league night on Saturday. Finished 7th out of 9 but somehow still managed to extend my lead in the championship by another point. New rival has moved into 2nd place, but they're 4 points behind with only one game left to play. Tense 😂

🎃 Halloween at work so we dressed up our desks... and ourselves 🧟‍♂️

🫖 Completely obsessed with Biscuit Brew tea bags (the malty ones, not the caramel ones)

🍒 Thank you science, for fusing two absolute top tier treats in their own right into these magnificent bastards [ yes, I've only just discovered them! ]

🐶 Took Ollie to play at a dog agility and adventure park to meet up with Mia & Milo
