Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 6hWell, it is Wednesday, meaning a trip to the mall was on the cards. But the exit was blocked by an abandoned digger and a big, dirty hole in the road. Where's Wally? In the chat group, they gave the handful of motorists seven minutes to get the hell out of there. Why not seven days? 110
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 8hWhat's worse? #bluesky The morning after the hottest curry ever and lots of wine to wash it down OR Installing Windows 11 and Office 365 from scratch on a new brand spanking new SSD. I'm predicting drama with Activation. The usual Microsoft bullshitto 😅 010
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 23hPreparing a kick-arse stock for the rice with the chicken parts. We are making a shit-hot curry, so spicy it will put hair on the neighbour boys' chest. x8 scorpion chillies are being reduced; this will be a fucking moment. 😅 260
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 29/09/2026Back at the gaff, tapas are served. Chorizo, salsa verde on a day-old baguette. 170
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 29/09/2026This is a milestone moment. It is the first time in Amsterdam someone conversed with me without complaining or asking where I'm from. The Dutch moan more than the English if you can believe it. 130
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 29/09/2026Good morning #bluesky It will probably be the last "warm" day of the year in Amsterdam Zuid. A boiling 26C! Knock-off drinks are planned for earlier today to take advantage of the lovely weather. After preparing chipotle chicken last night, devising a new recipe will be a challenge. A good day! 😀❤️ 051
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 28/09/2026What a day! Posh boy @ashbym.bsky.social pulled his hamstring at the gym. Good thing he rode the Scoot there. The SSD in my laptop died. The flat was taken over by fruit flies. The bunch of bananas purchased earlier caused havoc. I had to open a bottle of wine to cope. 😅 This is living 220
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 28/09/2026It may not look like much, but it packs a punch. Raw prawn ceviche in lime juice, salt and pepper Chorizo Passata reduced into a paste infused with scorpion chilli and garlic Served on a slice of baguette and a drop of green chilli habanero sauce We've got 24 of these bad boys. Late lunch is served. 160

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 28/09/2026Happy Monday #buesky It was an early start this morning after a big breakfast. Not much drama on the road back to Amsterdam. No fun and games on the autobahn before the sun appeared, opting to immediately cross into the Netherlands for a calm drive. Have a great day! 😀❤️ 220
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 28/09/2026Many questions: MTV exists? I thought the channel went off the air. Do artists still make music videos? I guess so. News to me. 100
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 27/09/2026Aachen has a local monster called the Bahkauv. A giant, ugly creature that supposedly lives around the city's hot springs. According to the legend, it would lurk around at night and attack drunk men coming home from the pubs by jumping onto their backs and making them carry it home. 220
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 26/09/2026Saturated in sweat, we are moving on from the old German bunker to watch the second half of the England v Spain football match at the boozer. #ENGvSPA 130
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 26/09/2026We are in an old German bunker. It was transformed into a live music venue. Hellhookah AND Hell Gate are on the bill. Doom metal/post-black metal, if that's your thing. Hot as hell-😅 the excuse for the posh lad to take his shirt off 😅 @ashbym.bsky.social Love Deutschland ❤️ 140
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 26/09/2026Out for coffee. Offered propaganda regarding a protest scheduled for tomorrow in Aachen. "Don't build the expanded military complex on this particular green area." Near the Belgium-Netherlands border? 230
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 25/09/2026In Venice, Italy, I once streamed a pirated copy of Avengers: Endgame for my ex. I was asleep within five minutes. That is the entirety of my Marvel Cinematic Universe experience. I remain completely unashamed and, frankly, probably a better person for it. 020
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 25/09/2026Doing the Kunstroute and Domkeller for the Quickstep performance. Aachen ska and art? Bliss. @davidfurness.bsky.social Are you a fan of Madness? 210
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 25/09/2026The posh boy sought guidance from the server. We are out on the terrace. Before taking off his shirt to recharge in the direct sun, he asked about the Hausrecht - house rules. “Ist es okay, wenn ich mein T-Shirt ausziehe?” 😅 With bonkers laws in Germany, you never know if the police will turn up. 😅 230
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 25/09/2026Just crossed the Deutschland border. Super-bonkers sports mode engaged on the fine motorcar. Tearing down the autobahn as the happy passenger. Some parts of the route are not speed limited as you well know. Next stop, Aachen, a very fun city. Posh boy got it over 205 km/hr briefly. 😀 260
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 24/09/2026Stolen ball alert! #cricket Cameras capture a fan wandering in the street next to the stadium, picking up the ball ... and putting it in his pocket. 😅 #AUSvSA ODI 110

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 22/09/2026I predicted Sri Lanka would be bowled out in 32 overs in the ODI against England. I was off by 5 overs. The laziest and most uninteresting team in #cricket @xtrahand1.bsky.social 140
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 22/09/2026What are they looking at? Wrong answers only. *Thank you, Bitdefender for the image and ad.* How to hold a coffee cup. Instructions on how to make your hair look like broccoli. Rate my hookup. 210
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 21/09/2026Happy Monday #bluesky If anyone is reading Earl Spencer's memoir on Diana, let me know if he promotes wearing your seatbelt and not driving drunk on meds. The relationship expert was married three times; I guess he knows what he is talking about and should pass on this advice to Harry and Meghan. ❤️ 140

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 20/09/2026Good morning #bluesky We are at the Yayoi Kusama exhibition. What's interesting about this is its scale. The entire museum extension has been given over to Kusama, with her characteristic polka dots even extending outside onto Museumplein. Later, a boozy building residents' party. 😀 151
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 19/09/2026Good morning #bluesky We postponed our trip to Aachen solely to enjoy better weather next weekend. We toured Soho House Amsterdam earlier. The posh boy is keen on the rooftop pool. Now for a German-themed lunch and beers to celebrate Oktoberfest before the mighty #SPURS play hapless Villa. 😅 330

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 17/09/2026Good morning #bluesky It's wet today in Amsterdam. I took the fine motorcar out for my appointment with the quack. My yearly checkup. They took my blood, lectured me about the dangers of the demon drink and the lack of a balanced diet. Smoke a bit of weed instead of going to happy hour? No thanks 😅 350
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 16/09/2026@dmovies.bsky.social Have you come across "40 Love" on the festival circuit yet? Romeo Beckham is going to make tender love with Paul Kircher.

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 16/09/2026In the news, I read that one of the Snowtown killers was released. @kinglucythe1st.bsky.social did you live in South Australia when that madness was going on? My old man tried to buy the bank in 2014/15; he thought it would make a good bar LOL 130
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 16/09/2026It's Wednesday #bluesky It means a trip to the mall to run errands. A herring sandwich. The catch of the day. The chemist. Then a trip to Lidl for a major shop (and drop off excessive waste in their bin) for the win. If I put too much rubbish and recycling in the residential bin, I will be fined! 😅 270
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 15/09/2026Buggering off to enjoy 5€ Heineken pints during happy hour, then out to eat because there is no fresh food at home. Then, if I can stomach it, Liverpool v #SPURS in the Carabao Cup. Shame that I can prepare Mexican food better than any restaurant in Amsterdam, because I am keen for proper #tacos 😅 240
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 15/09/2026@kinglucythe1st.bsky.social It transformed the taste of the ragu. A hint of umami complimenting the beef stock, soy sauce and parmesan. Thanks for the suggestion 😀 210
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 15/09/2026Good morning #bluesky Normalcy returned to life in Amsterdam. An early morning at the clean gym, cleaning up the kitchen, preparing a big breakfast and other domestic duties before the grind kicks off shortly. Liverpool v SPURS in the Carabao Cup later tonight. FML 😅 Have a great day! ❤️ 320

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 14/09/2026Happy Monday #bluesky After a great weekend, it was hard to wake up and return to duty this morning. The posh boy @ashbym.bsky.social visited the medical centre. A bruised rib and other cosmetic blemishes will keep him from football duties for at least three weeks. The gym beckons for us both 😀 520

Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 13/09/2026At the pub celebrating. The lads came back from 1-2 down to win 3-2. The posh boy ended up with a bloody nose and had to run around the pitch with a tissue up his nostril. One goal and a yellow card for @ashbym.bsky.social in a more action-packed and exciting game than #SPURS #COYS this season! 😅 551
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 13/09/2026At halftime, we are up 1-0. The lads are doing a great job dominating the opposition midfield. Everyone was shocked when our goalkeeper ran from the box and joined the strikers, giving us the first goal within the first minute. 14 attempts on goal so far... 230
Chezdon @chezdon.co.uk · 13/09/2026Good afternoon and happy Sunday #bluesky I'm about to Scoot to the football pitch because the captain, posh lad @ashbym.bsky.social took the fine motorcar and a huge bag of stuff with him, avoiding the rain. I'm keen for live action and a few beers with other sporting enthusiasts. Game on! 😅 340
