Stoked!

Can never go wrong with The Langdales. Pics look fab.

Have you got one of those diesel heaters in the van?

Yeah, but there we had a hook up anyway so I should have just taken an electric heater and saved the diesel, although it doesn’t seem to use a lot.

How cold does it get overnight? @markg

With the heater on? It’s absolutely boiling unless you turn it right down. Without it a van isn’t a lot better than a tent really, i.e. freezing unless you’re in a sleeping bag.

Upgraded the processor on my PC, so far so good.

Mrs and littlun are out, so just sat and listened to the whole of Mezzanine while the cat glared at me. Much needed reside from toddler insanity.

For balance we filled the floor with Brio earlier.

Took the girl and her Christmas complete to the local indoor this morning. She had a load of fun and wanted to go again, she still doesn’t know what stance she is or whether she’s Mongo or not and got a bit het up about everyone being better that her but it was a success, she even did her first sticker job. I’ve been talked into taking her again tomorrow for the mini rippers session. (Free toast and juice mid sesh). Hoping for more dry spells now.

Brilliant! I had a similar experience today. Went to The House with my 7 year old daughter, including her new board and sticker set lol. I haven’t skated for about 6 months but got a couple of runs in for myself too :slightly_smiling_face:
She was a bit more nervous than usual as it was pretty busy but she’s already talking about going again.

Took her indoors to the Women’s night at The Works (LS10 whatevs) the other night. Still not able to skate myself as my back’s fucked so I was on dad duty. We’d been clearing the cellar out and had found a stash of random new boards so took them with us to leave/distribute etc.
One young girl (maybe 10) was learning how to drop in on a Xmas complete whilst my daughter and I were running around the park.
This girl had laser focus and managed to drop in a few times.
Then she slammed like a bag of shit onto her face - my Mrs ran over to see if she was ok, she wasn’t but tried to walk it off in tears.
Her dad came over and myself and daughter disappeared to car.
Came back with a brand new Element board in kid’s size which my daughter gave her for ā€˜being brave’.
Proper tear jerker all round.

Why is the stoked so far down the list?

Just poured myself an orange juice and thought i’d try some cherry brandy in it but without looking I picked up the tia maria and poured a massive glug in, it went a weird brown then I realised. I hate coffee and the thought of that in orange juice made me gag a little but then I thought fuck it, try it. My god it’s one of the best things I have tasted. It must be a thing, will have to google in a minute.

Tia Maria and orange juice is a drink and it tastes almost exactly like terrys chocolate orange.

Chocolate and orange is a fantastic combination.
