El que tuvo, retuvo... Not super happy with how this year is going in terms of fitness, and with Pride weekend upon us, I'm giving myself a bit of grace. But September 1st I get my shit together and get back on track with the gym, and more importantly, the diet. That I promise.

Yesterday, Dolly, and today Tim Curry. What a shitty week :/

Great day of rugby today, we might have lost, but it was a very fun physical and intense match. Oh how I missed it! Great start of the season. Now onto having my usual Epsom salts soak and relax for the rest of the evening

Really needed this. It's been a month since my last visit. No wonder I feel like shit

I need to go to the gym, but Jaysus Rollerblading Cristo I'm struggling to leave the bed...

Been attacked again by the swamp summer skin rash that has been annoying the fuck out of the for the last 4-5 heatwaves in UK, so limited on a bunch of stuff until it clears out again

I had a lot of fun yesterday on a baking masterclass. Also, today between cleaning and entertaining some guests I've been totally wiped. I'm soooo tired

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Melting. The heatwave is killing me (damned humidity)

Masters of the Universe (2026) is deliciously camp and funny. I really enjoyed it!

Hey hey, I'm alive, just not super active on here these days, life is lifing

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Ugh, Mondays. Also, still burnout and all that jazz

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Sunburnt? Check. Stupid warm (but not as bad as yesterday)? Also check

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I'm alive. My phone died recently, been busy and all that jazz. I'm also a tad burnout with social media and considering taking an extended break from it all. So there's also that

I know I've been absent. Life is taking over at the moment. Anyway, hope you're all keeping well.

My post rugby game ritual, a nice hot soak with music and a nice drink. Pure bliss.

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Still alive. One happy side effect of No Screen Sunday is that I'm spending a lot less time on social media, and I'm actually not mad about it

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Alive and having a quiet Saturday night. Much needed relax time

Isn't it amazing what a bit of good lighting can do? Also I need to tidy up the beard

I made burt sugar cake for baker's club yesterday, and people said they loved it. Honestly, was a pain in the ass to make, but if people liked it, I'm very happy.

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Yesterday I made xialongbao dumplings for the first time. Not bad, but I need to keep practicing, my pleating is bad, and they were not soupy enough

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Treated myself to a homemade dinner of chicken dumplings and noodle soup. Comfort food ftw in this rainy day

Amazing day of rugby today, and as usual, celebrating with a hot soak

I joined the village bakers club, so I'll be baking (and socializing on real life) more. My first contribution were empanadas criollas. Not bad for a first attempt, but already thinking on ways I can improve them.

Aaaand back to Manchester and very happy to be in my own bed

It's been a really bad day in the apps. I was doing great, had been back for a month and it had been nice, mostly chit chatting with nice people, having a cheeky coffee here and there. But today has been a shit show and enough that it's making me question it all again.

Wouldn't it be nice if my brain shuts down and lets me sleep?

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Definitely not at my best (and full of pasta bake), but I felt good after tonight's late workout. I always say, and it applies to me too, that fitness is a marathon not a sprint. I'll get where I want to be, eventually. No rush (and no need to rush either).

Let's try again. I'd like to run an aD&D campaign this year, starting April-May (so plenty of time to prepare). Would be one session a month (preferably on Sat or Sun), so relaxed in terms of schedule. If you're in Manchester (or adjacent, or willing to travel) and interested, give me a shout.
