A person working in my local supermarket just asked to see my I.D. as I had a few beers in my trolley. When I removed my mask he said “you look like that news journalist off the TV”. So funny 🤣 especially as this year I hit a significant age milestone

Recovery: week 6 almost done ✅. I’m seeing the consultant tomorrow and hoping I can downgrade from this strict knee brace and return to work on Monday.
#fingerscrossed
💁🏻♀️🙏🏻💪🏻
Here we go - in the hands of a great team at the NHS. They need to fix my ACL, MCL and meniscus. Apparently my knee cap is looking ropey so they may boost that as well. The mind boggles 😳🫢. See you on the other side 😑🙏🏻
Check out the new pics...I look SO serious!? That's it from me for a while. I'm on leave for a bit and after that an operation to try and fix my knee. Hopefully all will go well and I will see you in June. Do stay tuned though, there is a top team in my absence.

My youngest son swallowed a cube of mini magnets 🧲 yesterday. We’ve been in hospital ever since “under observation”. Hopefully nature will take its course. So I won’t be joining you on telly on Monday at 5am. All being well I’ll see you on Tuesday. Such fun!!
So grateful we have a dog...self isolation at the Bundock’s. Of course the teenagers are still asleep. Monday I’m back a work, shift work and home schooling 3 boys. Wish me luck!! I’ll see you at 5am Monday
