Dylan!

Four n a bit years ago, I was lucky enough to become the father to a somewhat temperamental but all round awesome little girl that goes by the name of Gracie, increasing the family unit from 2 members to 3.

Well today the final increase took place and my son, Dylan TBC Driscoll (if I remember I'll edit in the correct middle name when decided) was born at 4:03 yesterday afternoon.


There they are, the Driscoll kids! Nice pose Gracie!

So far Gracie has been brilliant, despite a half arsed effort at holding him! They should be home at some point today and then the sleepless nights can start!

Job done on the kids side of things then...



I've had quite a strong reaction on Facebook/texts/etc, and would like to take this opportunity to thank whoever passed on their congratulations, I can't reply to all I've received, there's lots and lots of it and I get confused easy.

Running again!

So, how do you spend your lunch hours? Quick pint? Food? Sounds good to me, but lately I've begun using the hour, and the free gym work provides, to get a bit of exercise in!

For the last few weeks, I've been banging in a quick 5km, which let's face it is more than I was doing anyway, not hard to do more than 0! Oh and when I say quick, I'm fully aware than just under 26 minutes isn't quick, I don't mean it like that, was a bit disappointed with yesterdays 5.85km in 30 minutes though.

This year I have 3 events planned:

  • Swansea 10k
  • Cardiff Half Marathon (21.2km)
  • Aberdare 'Demon' Run (8km, but apparently over some nasty terrain)
So as you can imagine running my 5km repeatedly is woefully inadequate, but it's a start, bit of weight may come off so I won't look quite so much like a blimp in a Batman hoodie!

Maybe Val should join me!


Sorry, have to reuse it, love that pic!
