Good morning, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England. ☕☕☕
May the road rise easy, the sky hold fair, and the coffee come strong and steady.

Well, I've had quite the weekend... Friday night we launched Battle Guides new video about the B24 shot down over Palau (some great viewer numbers!) Saturday morning at my daughter's football match, I was taking the warm-up and went to catch a ball booted in the air, and it smacked my pinkie dislocating it at the 2nd knuckle. Was a weird shape, so I snapped it back into place as any stupid man would do... anyway... strapped it up and watched the match. After the match took off the strapping and my finger looked deformed... best go to Accident and Emergency to get it looked at. 4 hours waiting to be seen. No bone damage after x-ray, but have been referred to plastic surgery on Wednesday for detached tendons... yay. So got out of the hospital and went to see a gig with my wife (Rianne Downie) young Scottish girl with the most amazing voice. Then today was the wifes birthday so took her to Killiecrankie to do a bunjee jump. Then a walk round Pitlochry and the Pitlochry Dam... lovely scenery in that part of the world and now Im home to have an early night.... a hell of a weekend!

I didn't even know that.
But here in Argentina, April 19th is National Police Day. Obviously, nobody celebrates it, except for those of us who were police officers at some point. 👍
ouch... bet that was painful mate, Does the wife really do a bunjee jump ?Well, I've had quite the weekend...

Morning, FGMers ☕️—coffee’s doing its job. Saw a great show at the Fox in Oakland Saturday, caught an A’s game Sunday. Now it’s time to catch up on the Women’s Six Nations action I missed. Hope all’s steady wherever you are.
