Sat here with big mug of cocoa watching Town and idly planning tomorrow's Hotpot. Managed to get a leg of mutton.

Serious thought. The word "Bazball" has become a distraction. A smokescreen for what we're really watching. Average bowling, reckless batting, terrible catching. It doesn't need a funky label; call it what it is, rank bad cricket.

Thankfully I have a mate who is a dry stone waller and carves stone as a side hustle. The pointy finial fell off my house after 180 years luckily only damaging itself. Had some yorkstone kerbing that was destined for a skip so he can make a new one out of that.

70s retro buffet contribution for the party to while away a wet Saturday afternoon with no Town footy. Bring on the cheese and pineapple on sticks.

These ToTp 1998 repeats are largely first time listens for us. We were living in Marin Co. CA which was stuck in a 1970s hippy time warp then. Used to bump in to the Grateful Dead in my local Borders bookstore.

It seems to me extremely serendipitous that the one Saturday Town are not playing is the one Saturday this year I have to go out to an afternoon birthday tea for a friend's son. He's 30 for god's sake. Anyroad just got a massive four tier red velvet cake for him in the oven to be iced tomorrow.

Or, as we all say, an away win.
Sky still taking a leaf from that David Mitchell sketch.

Today's walk slid into a dreary, cold damp trudge as England capitulated in quite the horror show.
Went out in the freezing pre-dawn with the dog listening to the ashes without headphones like a teenager. Gripping, magnificent cricket. And it has continued in the freezing house after our recently serviced and repaired boiler went on strike.

Owing to Beckham, Vinny et al I am told the country casual look (minus the ubiquitous gilet) I adopted nearly 20 years ago is the height of mens fashion this winter. Time to bin Hoggs of Fife and move on - I am thinking in terms of League of Gentlemen as my next step.

I just daydreamed that Gilsenan comes on, scores and then celebrates with a Poutonian high-stepping run. Suspect side effects from that shingles vaccination.

Had a nervous tea of garlic courgette and mushroom enchiladas. Hope this is lucky food - I bloody love enchiladas and froze a vat of sauce in the summer for nights like this. Come on Town!

Tish Murtha’s photographs of childhood in the Seventies are just the best. So evocative, every frame a time capsule.
