Feel like shit. Gutted I'm gonna miss Trafford v Bury but no energy to get out of bed!
I usually do but not tonight
Heading to Trafford for the game against Bury U21's.......oh sorry wrong... the first teams back.😉
Daughter text earlier to me to let me know the GET free book shop in Sale is closing this Saturday. Will return once suitable shop is found again. So shot up and filled a bag! Rules is 3 free books per visit but its relaxed for this week. #books #booksky #tbr #readers #currentlyreading
Be interesting to see what team appears on Tuesday at Trafford. Don't know if they've broken any rules but feel they've broken the spirit of the Trophy.

Think a lot of goodwill that they received during their troubles over the previous few years has been eroded
Anything that's a remake of a perfectly good original film. I'm looking at you specifically Roadhouse of recent years
Never seen any of the Godfather films, or the Supranos for that matter. Basically anything in the last 30 years that gets labelled 'must watch' tv.
The Black Friar by S.G.MacLean
Scared of the trip to Trafford on Tuesday!! Joking aside, I'd love to know as well.
Three book haul today from charity shops of Chorlton. Restrained myself and kept to my rules. #AgathaChristie #PGWodehouse #JohnMortimer #Rumpole #books #booksky #bookcollector #reading #charityshop
Goal just before the half for the visitors won the game. Not one to be critical of refs but wasn't impressed with today's.
Today's view a wet and windy @nwcfl.bsky.social game Maine Road v Bacup Borough

Wythenshawe v South Liverpool postponed - via NWCFL website just now
I find books, of which I have too many but not enough, merely acquaintances I've yet to engage with.
Just because it's October doesn't mean you have to read anything spooky. So there.

Never trust blurbs. "Funny" mentioned 3 times. What book did they read? Was hoping for more but felt let down #books #booksky #reading
Currently reading

Christopher Fowler - Paperboy (2009 Bantam)

Memoirs of the Bryant & May mystery series author. I do like these type of bookish memoirs as they invoke memories of a childhood more interesting than I remember mine #christopherfowler #books #booksky #reading #writers
Looks like they took the books as well.
