Still watching the football and, dare I say, it’s actually been entertaining. We have a baller on our hands with Mfuni!
Despite everything am skipping Klem/The Blood Pact this evening to tune in and watch the ‘Orns in Hull. I may regret it. And I may end up watching a little of both. #WatfordFC

So many of the audio books I try to listen to using the Online Bibliotheek don’t work. Just get an error message. Anyone any idea why?

I’m working on a story for @thesicktimes.org about things people with Long Covid and other energy-limiting illnesses (as well as their caregivers) can do to protect themselves and their communities from ICE. I’d love to speak with any of the following:

Genuinely laughing at the thought of this.
Feel like the only highlight we’ll have for the rest of the season is listening to Derek Payne attempt to pronounce ‘Goglichidze’. #WatfordFC

I recently read Britt-Marie was here - really enjoyed it. Devoured the Beartown series. You’re making me jealous with your subscription. 😀

Studied in Toulouse for a year as part of my degree. It’s a while ago now so it would be lovely to go back and rediscover the city so many years later.
Toulouse is a city in southern France that’s absolutely worth visiting. I particularly love its colourful streets and beautiful riverside setting, and there’s a lively culinary scene as well. Check out my Toulouse guide: velvetescape.com/things-to-se...

Confronting clear up of home office. Blog and writing goal setting and results. Stopped abruptly Feb 2020. Covid hit, followed by #longcovid. Since then goal setting has mostly involved getting through days being able to keep the bare minimum of daily life running.
