Just stumbled upon a youtube channel where a group of young lads have created a full length cricket pitch in their back garden and tbh it's much more enjoyable to watch than the ashes atm..

40 degrees outside, 30 in my little office room where the air con doesn't quite reach. Time for the Ice Hat I think..

Loving the bands from around the turn of the century appearing on KEXP recently. Saw these guys play in Bristol and London (Astoria I think? memory is a bit fuzzy) back in the day. Lovely stuff #BetaBand www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFfo...

Thought this bush turkey wanted to be friends this morning. She tentatively approached me, then backed away, then approached again. Then when she got close enough, she just pecked at my toes, the little shit.

Hobnobs, tea and cricket. The most English of afternoons awaits.

Lovely afternoon in Hunters Hill/Woolwich. I could live here, if I had to.

Maybe it’s a Gen Z thing, can attest that the most phones were whipped out for WIMM last night, and they were all filming in portrait.
I confidently informed my son that Here Comes Your Man is Pixies most popular song, only for him to point out it isn’t, my some margin. Seems like Where Is My Mind took off at some point. My son said he knew it “from Fight Club”, even though he hasn’t actually seen the film..

Marquee Moon being the first record you ever bought is quite the music flex. Mine was This Ole House by Shakin' Stevens.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDJF...

Wake up and see the Sunderland Arsenal result. Heheh, that must have been painful conceding a goal in the last minute. Let’s check how Spurs did…. I SWEAR CAN I NOT EXPERIENCE PLEASURE FOR ONE GODDAMN MINUTE?!

Saw something about a day out in Manchester a couple of days ago and ever since I’ve had Whippin’ Piccadilly and then half of Gomez’s debut on repeat in my head. Come on brain, time to move onto something else now..

This is a normal hobby for my teenage daughter to have right?

There’s something quite funny about enjoying new releases while my 17 year old son is listening to Nirvana and Radiohead like it’s 1995.

Just me and the ducks this morning 🦆🦆

Listening to Japanese Breakfast on KEXP and it really sounds like Michelle is singing that all of her goats are real.

My daughter persuaded me not to mow a patch of our back garden, so now we have a rectangle of clover flowers and new friends visiting 🐝
