Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Almost didn’t recognise myself in the photo Irene took of me earlier. We visited Noto in southern Sicily and then popped in to Syracuse on the way home to Mascalucia. I’m now driving like a local.. roundabouts are just a suggestion to Italian drivers. 220

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 13/08/2026We had an excellent night at the WFCG last night. Only 11k fans so the atmosphere was a little different but it was a great crowd and we won 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen. I hope that won’t be our first and last trip to see #nffc this year - tickets are so hard to get. 0130
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Came back from the car boot with these classics for £5 plus a free box of 80s singles that Matilda is now trawling through. Gotta love War of the Worlds. 010
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I’ve been away camping in the Cotswolds with my kids since Sunday. I think this is officially the hottest, driest camping holiday we’ve ever had. Also had the most expensive pub meal ever. Burgers at the Farmers Dog yesterday were an absolute bargain in comparison. 000
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Saka will be celebrating his hat-trick later in his own inimitable style. 030
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Yeah that’s the one I got. It’s so gross. Like when you’re drinking it it’s fine but then when you stop and you get the taste of it in your mouth… ugh. 110
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 11/07/2026This is our set up for tonight. It’s called The Galloping Glamper. 130
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Throw back to when I ragged my car off the line on the Hamilton Straight at Silverstone. 000
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I read this on @theguardian1.bsky.social and wondered where 3pm was local to? turns out it's local to Cape Verde. But then why not also put the local time in Spain? and why put local time to Cape Verde at all? 100

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Well Labour held the seat but the guy’s alright. I’m glad Greens got more votes than Reform. 120
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I see Trump is once again demonstrating the dignified and statesmanlike demeanour for which he’s well known. 000
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Happy Mother’s Day to my mum and all of your mums whether past or present x 160
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 16/02/2026I got myself a new toy for my gig set up.. it’s like something from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I think I’ll need another degree to work out how to use it properly. 010

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Savoy Cinema in Lenton, Nottingham. Saw Star Wars there in 1977. Still going, too. (The cinema not the film) 010
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 22/12/2025John Williams in the starting line up again. Hoping for some musical magic #FULNFO #COYR 000
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 02/11/2025A superb night fuelled with several double Jamieson’s that cost more than a semi-detached in Doncaster. 020
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I lived here for 6 years. This station didn’t exist when I moved to Dalston but was the derelict remains of a former British Rail station. I left in 2011.. pre-kids era. 110
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 27/08/2025As you go in to the Ashmolean you’re greeted with this sight. And yes it is what you think it is. 110
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Went to Oxford today.. I’ve sort of been before but not properly. Anyway we went round the Ashmolean Museum and visited Balliol college. I was both impressed by the rich history of the place and put off by the privilege that’s afforded to its former scholars in equal measure. 120
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 16/08/202510yo got his first pair of converse today. He’s completed the triangle. 040
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 24/07/2025One year of Duo. Started learning Italian but then the app added chess and maths so I’ve been doing that, too. The maths is dead easy 😁 010
Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 19/07/2025I’m doing a little fund-raising thing for my kids’ scout group. Guess the 3 digit combination and you win the contents of the box which is currently a load of sweets and £25. What code would you guess? 120
