Even as a Forest fan, it wouldn't be horrible to see Exeter get through tonight. They've been outstanding.

It’s a long shot but- does anyone in London have a Taylor GS mini hard case that I could borrow for the next two weeks? British airways broke my case, so it’s in for repair but not ready until Feb 7th

I finally managed to catch a The Twilight Sad stripped back performance live on Tuesday and it was magical. @nathbrudenell.bsky.social is the amazing venue everyone has promised me it is, too.

Read some interesting stuff about the digitisation of #MentalHealth support earlier this week. While not much beats talking to a human, there are some great apps out there these days. Thought I'd share some that I've used either personally or in my work.

How was your Saturday afternoon? I paid £20 for two tickets to see a film about a flying, talking reindeer, trekked all the way to city centre and through crowds of shoppers, sat through 18 trailers for kids' films, only for my daughter to start screaming that she wanted to go home. Fun.

“A Promise: Mystery Discovery Packs do not contain crap. They contain records, usually always mint and sealed, that we simply have too many copies of. It is not a vehicle to offload garbage.”

I'm definitely a decade or two behind here, but bought a HD TV in the Black Friday sales. Have you all been watching TV like this all the while? Feels like when the first Avatar came out, minus the mild racism.

What did you do at work today? I helped build a Lego youth club to represent the 'space' element of the #LundyModel. Yes. I get paid for this.

This week was the first time I've done 3 #gigs in a week since my daughter was born in 2021. I'm fucking knackered. 2 of them were absolute class, though. Shame the other was ruined by the plethora of idiots in the crowd, mind.

First time attending a gig at @avivastudios.bsky.social last night and, honestly, that might be the best sound I've experienced at a show. @fontainesdc.bsky.social were on fire, too. That sound, though! Hard to show in a photo, really.
