Thank you all so, so much for the kind birthday wishes. An unusual day today as I’ve used a bullet train to make a return trip between Shanghai and Nanjing for a meeting! One way was 185 miles, took under an hour….🤷 Back in Shanghai now having a cold one, or two 👍👍

Loving watching the final day of the World Champs Final! Two years ago, I was out in the middle with white gloves on, reffing my last professional match 😢. Slightly different view today from ‘Andy’s’ my favourite bar in the world 👍🤪🍻

Had 10 days of practice on the black stuff in Belfast, not a bad effort to split the G in my local after my 14 year old grandson challenged me to try. It’s just occurred to me, how does he even know at 14 that splitting the G is a thing? 🤷🙈

Had worse views while having a night cap with my dragon. If we locked the doors on the beautiful building next to Big Ben and let the police in, how many occupants would be allowed out?

So it’s a year ago today I met this pup for the first time. He will spend the rest of his life being spoiled rotten by me and my Dragon. I’m sorry life is obviously so stressful for you Chase, but thank you, for being you. I love you so much my boy. xx
