As a fan of a league 2 club for 45 years, this #mancity stuff hasn’t really rattled my cage much. But ‘he without sin, cast the first stone’ springs to mind. Big sport and bending the financial rules goes back to the dawn of professional football.

Grey Partridge helluva noisy at first light this morning in the fields around Ecton. Owl having a squeal could be baby Tawny or our old friend Little Owl, indecipherable as it was distant and only once. #northantsbirds #ukbirding

8 wins on the bounce at Sixfields for the Mighty Millers (I’ve seen at least 6 of them). Better team in the 2nd half and a deserved win. #utm #rufc

‘Football is a library’ once heard a Rotherham fan sing this and it always makes me chuckle. Northampton away again for something like the 9th time. #utm #rufc

‘I will find you’ on Netflix is the biggest load of bollocks I’ve ever watched all the way through. Harlan Cobens been smoking crack. Had to watch it to the end to find out what happened, but it’s 6 hours of my life I’ll never get back. #iwillfindyou

So, after witnessing the #heathrow carnage at first hand last night and getting up at 0315 to go again only to find our daughter’s flight has been cancelled after a 10 hour delay. Can we stop privatising important national infrastructure and make things run better please. I’m tired.

I know we’re all a bit blasé now but 20 odd Clouded yellows in a Lucerne field at Greatworth was a great lunchtime spectacle. As were the huge amount of Common Blues (100+) including these frisky females I managed to photo. #northantsbutterflies
