HB Tombles. It’s my mother in law’s 70th today. Next year you could have a joint party at a trampoline park.

Thanks one and all

A lovely chilled day. Off for a couple of surprise nights away tomorrow which apparently involves a hot tub

A meal outside tonight with my beloved and children

Some memorable presents including Olive trees and a lovely commissioned oil painting of Katharine and I - the first picture of us ever taken together

All in all a happy Bootsy

Just superb and heart warming Bootsy. My grown up kids got together and had an oil painting done from a holiday boat scene. Completely out of the blue a few weeks ago. Somehow, makes all that pain worthwhile!

But to the picture, who's that rather svelte chap? Compared to the "fuller" bootsy, is there a connection? :bounce:

Have an awesome time away!

Cheeky fecker!

The svelte version is admittedly 7 years ago - I’m just more comfortable these days !!

O wow! Did you get Richard’s autograph? I was a big Fist of Fun fan back in the day.

My surprise wasn’t far away - 40 minute drive to a remote lakeside retreat staying in a ‘pod’ - hot tub filling and wine chilling!

Don't get too specific on the location. Unless you want to find out how many mankini clad DDKers fit in a hot tub...

Have a good one!
