My kind of Saturday - morning. Exhilarating karate class in which I got to teach some newbies, and get thrown about by my friend who's going for her 2nd Dan. Jobs done, now just working on some content for my blog, with a hot cup of tea and #BladeRunner soundtrack playing #writngcommunity

I broke my golden rule to feature this Lebanese coffee chain. Why? Because this black Americano was perfection. It was smooth, rich, and exactly what I needed to top off a meal. Get the full story on my blog ramon-writes.co.uk/getting-my-c...

Hi guys thanks for the shoutout. Loving the episode - and yes that was THE Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace fighting Tadashi Yamashita at the end I promise - recognised him when I first watched it 40 years ago & his signature kicks are unmistakable.
