*Recording video face*

The only thing is…I’m not allowed to tell you what I’m recording or why! That said, it is exciting! Expect an update soon.

Starting the week with some blogging history!

This, mi amigos, is the bottom of the range Acer laptop that I used 9 years ago when I launched that infernal blog of mine @dadbloguk. Look at that, Windows 7. Not seen a PC with that operating system for some time!

The camera is a bottom of the range Nikon bridge camera I bought soon afterwards when I realised I needed to up my photography skills.

Bottom of the range that camera may be (it’s a @nikoneurope CoolPix L280, long discontinued sadly) but it was superb. The zoom lens was just amazing.

Anyway, both have been gathering dust for some time. While it was tempting to start a ‘Museum for Blogging’ I have found a new home for them both.

Forgive me, I’m reminiscing, silly old fool that I am!

Colder weather = slow cooker recipes and I’ve been trying out a new one.

In my latest post for @microban’s Cleaner Home I make Crock Pot Crack Chicken (a suggestion of the amazing @thesproutingminds).

It’s an incredibly versatile recipe and very easy to make. You can serve it as a main meal, as a dip, with salad, chipped potatoes and so on.

Go take a look at #TheCleanerHome for more!

Banging my head against a wall… You’ve probab

Banging my head against a wall…

You’ve probably seen the headlines about the superb childcare survey @mumsnet organised with a broad coalition of partners.

An amazing 20,000 people took part in the survey, the results of which were used in a parliamentary debate. The survey highlighted just how expensive U.K. childcare is and the lengths families go to pay for it.

In a radical (and I don’t use that word lightly) move, men were encouraged to partake in the survey and both @mffonline_ & @fatherhoodinst went out of their way to get dads to participate.

Have a guess at how many men actually took part in the survey. Leave me a comment below. I’ll give you a clue: Not as many as should have done!

If you want to cheat, answer is on the blog (along with other details). Link in bio.

I’ll leave you with this thought. If men really want to effect change and help make the world that bit more equal, they’re gonna have to engage with these issues and recognise their importance.

AD - The most comprehensive guide to early fatherh

AD - The most comprehensive guide to early fatherhood I have come across. Allow me to introduce you to ‘You’re Going to be a Dad!’ From @daddilife Books.

What we have here is a guide to pregnancy, birth and the first years of a child’s life focused on what fathers need to know. Such books are very common but in these 428 pages, the DaddiLife team has crammed in a vast array of information that really makes this title stand out. It really does stand head and shoulders above anything else I have seen covering fatherhood in the early years.

It’s complemented with input from 50 men who have all been through the pregnancy and / or early years. Their comments are sometimes educational, sometimes funny and always relatable.

I know a huge amount of effort has gone into this title. There’s more detail on the blog (link in bio) but do also check out @daddilife.

“Do you want to go to a gig?” Said my good fri

“Do you want to go to a gig?” Said my good friend Tim.

With the exception of the local brass band, I hadn’t seen any live music in two years (thanks COVID) so I was like, “yeah” and really didn’t pay any attention to the fact he’d book tickets to see @natalie_imbruglia at @pryzmkingston, someone I would *never* have considered seeing live, truth be told.

It happened to be Natalie’s first live show in three years and her first since becoming a mum (congrats Natalie) and she and her band were superb. It really was an excellent gig in a brilliant venue.

How wonderful it was to get out and see live music again (The Pryzm team making a big thing of the fact the air in the venue is replenished every 5 minutes).

The show was a mix of old and new tunes from the forthcoming album Firebird (out later this week I believe). With the exception of Torn and one or two other big hits I couldn’t name an Imbruglia tune if it slapped me in the face and said “AC/DC are pretend Aussies” but I think I’m a bit of a convert.

Here’s hoping for many more evenings out in the months to come. Keep music live!
