Highbury Park, Moseley - single Redwing this morning, my first of the autumn.

Hard dislike.

Very close to another one of these this afternoon. Rovers defence got so fed up with him, they just clattered him into touch.

It did. The train was already rolling by the time he and Adomah came on but Rovers visibly backed off further when they did.

Half time subs were much needed. They were getting through far too easily for most of the first half.

Allowed Barratt to get forward more too. He and Burke seemed to be getting in each others way first half.

Good to be watching a team that can turn games around.

Gillot Falls - quite the tourist attraction. Some idiot will try going over them in a barrel, guaranteed.

Great record.

Reduction in birds visiting our garden. Not sure why.

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 9d

Presumably this work is timed to avoid disturbance to breeding birds?

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 10d

Wrong album though.

Essentially it's like attending a pantomime every week. With better songs.

Very funny when it's one of your own. Infuriating when it's the other side.

Saw her play a good chunk of the new album at a mini-festival in Malvern in August 2024 and so was expecting good things.

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 14d

Looked like you'd made a decent start from the highlights.

Hoping the added time Albert Adomah bonus goal becomes a fixture. Particularly when we inevitably lose one or more key players back to their home club in January.

A friend in his mid-50s wore one of his teenage Walsall away shirts to Wembley in May. We had 'men of a certain age' coming up to shake his hand all afternoon.

Minor operation today. All fine but a general anaesthetic.

How anyone can tut at NHS staff, how anyone can link it negatively with migration things, how anyone can fail to see that it’s the best thing about this place and that they are the best of us. These people are morons. Literally morons.

On the nail.

The lifeblood of lower league football are a plague of 14 year olds in Stone Island jumpers and 60 year old men who are, or just strongly resemble, Fall fans. No in-between.

Did you get sweary Gwenifer or restrained Gwenifer? Her new album is terrific. Looking forward to the Birmingham show in November.

If you're into birdwatching, the fish restaurant at the edge of playa de fabrica, on the eastern Algarve, is a great spot.

Further proof the #bbc has absolutely lost the plot - Countryfile is giving airtime to second home owners whining about Welsh Government tax policies.

Upper Bittell - Greenshank, 7 Ringed Plover, 2 Common Sandpiper, Snipe, Caspian Gull, Spotted Flycatcher. Plenty of Swallow and Sand Martin.

More sailors than water now
