I'm pretty confident I'm a European person, and I can say without any equivocation that I detest the orange arsehole. I am also far from alone.

To be clear, Dan Brown writes utter drivel as well, but I genuinely can't understand why anyone would think Archer's nonsense was any better.

Ouch - turns out it's a 2 hour net. Everything aches already, so god only knows what it'll be like on Tuesday. Hit the cut strip a handful of times so am hoping for better next week. On the plus side, this was literally the most exercise I've had since Covid started.

This is crushingly sad on so many levels. I've been waiting to see Spinal Tap II for months, and to both lose Rob and have to put up with DT being a complete arse about what happened is appalling. Regardless, we will watch and love STII, and remember Marti as the genius framing the simpleton.

It's also probably fair to say that tomorrow I will be getting up stupidly early to watch the Ashes. Today, I listened to the first session on the radio in bed, but it feels like the 4am slot tomorrow may be crucial... I'll take knowing about one day.

That said, I can tell I did some wood turning yesterday, as my mouth still tastes of sawdust
