Needing an extra boost today. And it's actually not bad.

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.

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...

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

Melting. The heatwave is killing me (damned humidity)

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Mandatory #RuggersOnPlanes selfie. I don't make the rules!! It's been a nice trip, but it's time to go back to grey and rainy Manchester.

Happy New Year y'all! Hope you have a great 2026 full of joy.

Officially on holidays until Jan 2nd, and decided to start with a bang, or more accurately with a chill. Pure bliss right now.

I know I've been away from Bluesky for a bit. I'm still alive, counting the days to go on holidays, and for the year to end so we can try a hard reset on 2026. At least gym was ok tonight

Fred aka Grumpy Rugger Fred @mancsrugger.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Happy Friday everyone, hope you have a great day. I'm absolutely loving my burritos for lunch, you can't beat home cooking, and I love cooking.

This is how I'm planning to spend most of my Sunday morning
