🎯 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

📻️ Radical with Amol Rajan: Matthew Prince – The Tech Billionaire Taking On AI Companies (Cloudflare CEO and Co-Founder) (BBC)

📺️ Down Cemetery Road (Apple)

😴 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

💼 Three-month review at work went very well 🤩

🏠️ Completely rearranged the lounge; Katey had an idea and it totally works!

😋 Cooked a Lancashire hotpot on Sunday afternoon

🎟️ Nosferatu (1922) ★★★★☆ Silent screening with live musical accompaniment (link shows the first seven minutes)

🏋🏻‍♂ Ended the weight loss challenge I was doing with a friend after four months of losing weight every week. I'm down almost two stone (12 kg). Aim is to lose more but it's the time of year where denying myself food just doesn't work for me. Slow, steady loss over the next few months will do me fine.

⚽️ Tried to watch Tobey referee a football match again. Cancelled, again!

🃏 Poker league night on Saturday. Went into game 10 tied for the lead with Harry. Managed to take the win! Katey took 2nd, so we properly cleaned up. Now 3 points clear at the top of the league with two games to play.

💉 Flu jab done – yay vaccines! 👍️

⚽️ Was supposed to be watching Katey's son Tobey referee a football match on Saturday morning but the game was postponed due to Storm Amy rolling in 🌧️ ☹️
