Hard to know what to make of the game at Petershill this afternoon.
Aberdeen Women looked really good for 39 minutes, but contrived to be 2-0 down at the break.
Then looked good for the first half hour of the second half before seeming to run out of steam.
Positive signs, but a heavy defeat...

Went to a gig tonight.
Two guys beside us talked all the way through the support act. When they were finished one of the guys disappears - I assumed to go to the bar or toilet... But no - he'd gone to the merch stall to buy a t-shirt from the band he'd spent the last half hour talking over.

Saw EMF live for the first time tonight. Thought they were excellent - entertaining, energetic, engaging, potty-mouthed and loads of good songs.
A good reminder of what a great album Schubert Dip is.

I really hope this book by @hernebooks.bsky.social sells well in the run up to the festive period. We need more people, especially young people, engaging with the women's game.
On a personal note, happy to have contributed to the Aberdeen pages of the book.

We do need a sensible Conservative Party, but it's hard to see where they are going to find a sensible leader from their current crop.

It feels wrong to say it… but Britain needs the Conservatives to get their act together.
