Every year at the Peterborough Greyhounds we dress up for Children In Need. This year we are doing a Walt Disney theme. So anyone got any ideas for what I could wear??

Below are some photos from previous years.

Vlog: Reason never to leave the track

Tonight at the dog track, Jason that I have been working with for the last 3 years. Found out what happens on your last night at work. That’s going in a sink full of ice and water!

Work Christmas meal

Every year the Peterborough Greyhound restaurant and kitchen staff go out for a Christmas meal. Believe it or not. It’s only the second time I have ever been. Which is bad since I have been working at the dog track since 2003. The last time I went was 2009.

I mainly went this year, since every year I hear so many stories about all the things that happened. So this year, I wanted to see it for myself :).

It was a good night, other than one of the young ones being sick all over this table! So can’t see the Ibrahimi Restaurant having us back again next year!

Renewed my photo driving licence

I had a busy, busy day and still had the time to fit in not one but two cycles 🙂 The first cycle was only a short 3.98 mile around trip to the local shop  in next village to get some food and sugar. The the second cycle was a longer cycle of 14.92 miles. When I cycled to Stamford to pay money into the bank, then it was off to Post Office, to renew my photo driving licence., which cost £24.50, which also included them taken the photo and sending it straight to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency).

Once back home, I had my lunch then watch Neighbours on Channel 5. Yes I still love watching that soap, I think I will be watching it, till the die or they stop making it.

Then in evening I was working at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium, which was a fun evening. Then it off off back home, to type this up, then watch Waterloo Road.
