I seem to have timed this little jaunt up to Scotland *perfectly*

The extent to which betting companies permeate every aspect of modern football is so unappealing.

Shirt sponsors, stadium sponsors, pitch-side ads, every-other-ad on TV is betting related. Genuinely can't stand it.

Crumpets with marmite for my second breakfast.

Truly the Eighth Wonder Of The World.

Quite tempted to pay for ad-free YouTube so I never have to see another bloody Mous case advert again.

The absolute arse-end of the bottom of the barrel.

Delighted to once again forget that we have an upcoming Bank Holiday in the UK.

Absolutely nailed the neighbourhood cat who's been hassling my own dense and unobservant cat this morning.

I crept down the garden LIKE A PANTHER with a Super Soaker and unleashed icy torrents of H₂O on that mo' fo'

Tempted to up my game with a ghillie suit and night vision.

This now has me wondering about deaf people in an innocent rather than offensive (hopefully!) way.

Like multilingual or not, if you're deaf but having a chat with yourself in your head, (what) are you even hearing? What even are words? Or do you see sign instead? Am I absolutely mental?
answering this here as it oddly comes up quite often; I'd say it's probably 70% English / 25% French / 5% Spanish at this stage, though the languages stopped being separate in my head a long time ago, sentences will often be multilingual, it's not really the case of thinking in this or that language
Apologies if you've answered this before, do you now find you think in English, or still in French mostly?

I learned the word "petrichor" on Saturday and if things go to plan, I'll be petrichored to the max in the next couple of hours 🌧️👃

My wife has finally realised that when I feign indifference if the kids ask to go to The Harvester for lunch, that I'm actually dancing a happy jig inside.

I'd like to request more lunar interventions for when the weather is unbearably hot again.

Same again tomorrow please.

I can immediately tell that buying Snowrunner will present me with problems.

It shouldn't be a time-stealing monster, but it just is.

I'm increasingly confident that Wowee Zowee by Pavement is one of my top five albums ever.

Well, I've now seen The Odyssey and it's an odd one.

The whole is less than the sum of its parts. Many spectacular aspects, it never faltered, strong performances but collectively it just fell a bit flat for me.

Might be my contrarian nature but maybe all the hype made me indirectly like it less?
August 8, 2026 at 6:48 AM
I'm off to watch The Odyssey at a fancy Everyman Cinema tonight 🎦

Just finalising the terms of remortgaging so I can afford two beers whilst I'm there 🍻

There's an irony in being a Commercial Finance spreadsheet kinda guy, internally seething at the fact that it has just cost me £2,000 for two guys to spend 30 minutes fixing a minor roofing issue.

In my next life, I will be reincarnated with basic practical skills and / or a scaffolding business.

Watched the new Spider-Man at the posh cinema this evening with my youngest daughter and every time we go I tell myself we must buy some sort of membership package because it's fucking awesome watching and feeling major films on the big screen.

And WHY after a week away is my Discover feed cluttered up with American sports shite? How does the Bluesky algorithm work? Apathy over action?

I'd die happy if I never, ever saw another message about any American sport. They literally bore the tits off of me. Every single one (tit and sport).

Pros and Cons of a week away on holiday.

Pro: my youngest daughter got into Spider-Man. I'd never watched any Marvel stuff before but we enjoyed the 3 films we watched on Netflix. She's queued us up 5 more to watch, plus the new one at the cinema.

Con: my cat has been in the wars AGAIN. Dumb-ass.

This place has expertly facilitated my preferred wallow and lollop holiday demeanor.

Going back to work is going to royally suck butt, but I still have a few wallows and lollops left.

Cracking few days in Croatia so far. I'll never tire of 2,000+ years of history round every corner 🤓
July 21, 2026 at 7:15 PM
Smashed through two books in two days just lounging here with occasional dips into the pool when the Croatian temperatures sting a little.

I'm very, very good at holiday loafing.

Popped up to London today to check out this place.

It's still old and full of cool old stuff.

It's days like these when us "Chocolate belongs in the fridge" aficionados really feel at our smuggest.

Zero chance of me staying up to watch England get knocked out of the World Cup.

Kicks off in five hours and I'm already sleepy at 19:45 😅

I'll be lucky to stay awake for the whole of the Norway Brazil match.

It's nice when something you see all the time still looks cool, all the time.
