Absolutely salivating over the handball discourse on tomorrow’s FW already. I bet @maxrushden.bsky.social is made up. 😂

The 3D printing community comes up with some (depending on your viewpoint) either great or awful stuff. This Mondrian inspired wall organiser for my hall I think is great.

As a resident of St Austell, I’m disappointed to see the town described as a waste “super site”, but can’t claim it’s entirely unfair. #badumtish

Finally made the switch to Linux from that there windows for gaming and yes, you need to learn some new stuff but honestly, it mostly just works with proton and that. Now I’m looking into how I customise my terminal because cool ASCII art is cool.

I am 44 years old and today me and my son had our third skateboarding lesson and I am loving it. This is a loving and gentle reminder to try the stuff you wanna do but are scared of.

Already on my fourth listen of the new Angine de Poitrine record this morning. I’m a bit late to this band, but feel I’ve actually timed it impeccably.

I’m not generally one for saying video-games are art, because I’m still not convinced they are, but Dispatch is the closest I’ve gotten. Thoroughly enjoyable, well written, incredible animation and top-notch cast. I give it two thumbs up. 👍 👍 store.steampowered.com/app/2592160/...

I’m incredibly late to the party here but Scavenger’s Reign (available on Netflix) is absolutely incredible science fiction and far and away the best imagining of alien life I’ve ever seen on screen. Highly recommend.

Am I sad I did t get Radiohead tickets? No, I’m sad that I didn’t even know there was a tour as I check in on stuff happening in the world too infrequently these days. Has its advantages and disadvantages. I am still sad I didn’t get any, last bucket list band. ☹️

Looking to replace the boiler, my dad recommended iHeat, but anyone got any others worth looking at? British Gas quoted us, but the price was laughable in comparison to others.

Deciding to sort my blog out this year, and think I’m going to move to a paid for solution to reduce hassle and increase visual appeal. Thinking just using Squarespace, but would love to hear folks recommendations.

“The first thing Moyes did when striding into Everton’s training ground yesterday was to reinstate the ten pin bowling league which he’d won 6 out of the 10 years he was manager in his previous stint”. The Times (probably)

We had our first notice that Santa had been at 4:30 this morning. 😭 Thankfully, I think everyone went back to sleep for a few hours, or at the very least, I know I did. 😂 Merry Christmas everyone.

Uncharacteristic football hot take. If you want to make international tournaments more interesting, stop seeding the qualifying groups. More groups of death!

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this year as it clashes with my tenth wedding anniversary but some of my team are likely to be there and they’re a lot smarter than me anyway. You should definitely go, a genuine community of some of the smartest people I’ve ever met.

Away working for a whole week and have developed tonsillitis or similar. Managed to see a pharmacist this morning who prescribed me antibiotics after a 15 minute consultation. Sometimes it just works and I am enormously grateful.
