Fergal Sharkey asked me to pass him that little divider thing you use on the conveyer belt in Sainsburys.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

No one in this house loves Christmas more than the cat. She’s been a lunatic all day. We’ve just laid everything out for the morning. She’s fucking beside herself. Ate and ran off to bed. There will be no sleep for Mittens tonight.

I bought a fillet of beef last week to make Wellington, and stuck it in the freezer. The internet told me 12-24hrs to defrost in the fridge. Easy. Erring on the side of caution I stuck it in there 24hrs ago. Still solid as a rock this morning. So it has been on the side all day. STILL SOLID. Uh oh.

Ok, so I just gave someone a guitar lesson over the internet like it's 2006 or something. So if that's something you'd be interested in, I can do that now too.

New Year, new skills?

Took the in-laws to lunch so as to avoid having to do Christmas Day bollocks round theirs. We are now locked in until we go West Ham vs Fulham on the 27th. Got enough food to feed an army and probably enough beer to feed me. Feeling festive. And a bit tipsy. Let’s fucking go!

Today is the day - I'm off to spend all the Nectar points I have been saving up over the year.

Someone turned the empty local funeral directors into a wine bar and it’s fucking brilliant. This is the kind of community I can get behind.

The rock band THANK from Leeds justifying me leaving the house. Last gig of the year. Perfect way to finish. 10/10.

@bosd.bsky.social Are you at the Scala? I just saw a dude with the head off you.

I’m having a late lunch with a friend. Headed into town early to get some Christmas bits but have retired to the pub as it’s fucking horrible out there. Sláinte.

32 years ago today was my last day at school. I’d essentially been kicked out but agreed to see out the term. But being 16 and up my own arse I decided to just fuck it all off. So just walked out. Happiest day of my life at the time. Arguably the stupidest scenario I ever put myself in. No regrets.

Every now and again I’m tempted to overshare on here, and then stop myself.
But it’s been a good day. The Heir smashed her mocks & I’ve had some brilliant personal news. It’s steak for dinner to celebrate.
Life could be (and undoubtedly will be at some point) worse.
Small victories. One love.

garden centre near us went on fire last night. Local Facebook news posts full of comments by folk going “omg we were just here last week”. Aye, but it wasnae on fire then, was it Janice?

Said goodbye (again) to one of my all time favourite bands last night. Without them I would not be who or where I am today. Thanks for all the memories Million Dead. It’s been a fucking blast.

Busy and exciting weekend ahead.
Tomorrow, The Heir and I are going to Brighton to eat seafood, bowl about, and then watch Million Dead.
Then on Sunday I'm going West Ham before again seeing Million Dead play their last ever show in the evening. Everyone and their mother will be there. I am pumped.

This is Levi. He encountered a forbidden stick while on his walk. Decided to go for it anyway. 13/10 (TT: levisgoldenworld)

And now we’re headed home. The singer is dirty ill and can’t do the show. Boooo.
Cardiff seems nice enough. The venue smells like a swimming pool.

I’m on my way to Cardiff on a tour bus. All the things I planned to do in Leeds did not happen because I was really hungover. I should go to bed really.
