I'm a quiet #UK #socialist who likes #words, #beer, #art, #football, #books, #Spain and #nature. I like talking about those things, not talking at all, and chuckling at things that sound mucky.
If I do owt wrong, tell me. If I do owt right, for god's sake don't tell me: I am not equipped for praise.

We'll score again.
Don't know where,
Don't know when.
But I know we'll score again,
Some sunny day.

Matchday! Today's the day #SWFC will score. I can feel it in me kidneys.

In honour of our hosts #SwanseaCity, here are some #swans. And an #owl for us.

- Sybil Andrews (after) (1898-1992) - Swans
- Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) - Barn owl viewed from the side - 1887

#art #arte #birds #owls
#SWASHW
A simple and elegant depiction of four mute swans in flight, travelling from our right to our left. (They might just be taking off. Not sure. Sorry, that doesn't help, does it?) It's not quite a line drawing, but it's not far off. The only detail of plumage we see is slightly curved lines for the prime wing feathers, with green shading where the underwing is in shadow, and yellow where not. Two of the birds are on the downflap, the other two on the upflap. (These are technical terms that I absolutely did not just make up.) The birds' feet are little more than blocks of black, and their heads are simply drawn, in dignified pose, with a tinge of yellow on the beak. There is no background detail - just the magnificent swans. A monochrome, fairly rough sketch of a barn owl, perched on a branch. We see it from the side, as it is raising its chin slightly to look up. (Do owls have chins? Did I read somewhere that chins are unique to humans? The answers to these - and many other - questions are simply beyond me.) Anyway, headline message - barn owl, bloody brilliant, get in.

Here is the finished carved owl, mounting into a pendant. The owl, fence and grass are boxwood, the frame is walnut.

A small wooden pendant of very tiny wood carving of an owl,in light yellow wood. Side view, with its head turned to face the viewer. Small black eyes. Perched on a fence post.with railings either side, and some carved grass on the ground. Held within a rectangular wood frame with a pointed top. Held by the silver bail by a thumb and finger, with a grey slate background.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

I've been doing some maths, and by my reckoning #SWFC *could* be effectively relegated by Barry Bannan's Millwall in two games time, and properly relegated by the Piggies in the game after that.

I hope my maths is wrong. Please let my maths be wrong.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.

This is what economic justice looks like.

And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

We can't actually have an #swfc goal of the month competition for January because we haven't scored this year.

I guffawed out loud on seeing this. Look at the state of them.

Not every dismal dweeb is a fascist, but every fascist is a dismal dweeb.

Matchday! Here's an #owl for us #Owls. For #Wrexham, our visitors from #Wales, here are some #Welsh #coalminers. (Solidarity today between two former coalmining areas, I hope.)

- Artist unknown - Owl
- Valerie Ganz (1936–2015) - Welsh miners at the coal face

#art #arte
#SWFC #WxmAFC #SHWWRE #EFL
An #owl, roughly but beautifully depicted, perching on a branch. It has ear tufts, and a slightly startled look on its face, as if it just heard a mysterious noise that needs a good staring at. Three #miners work at the #coal face, the seam shining where their helmet-lamps are pointing, but dark elsewhere. One #coalminer is poking a long staff into one of three small holes that have been drilled into the wall. Each has what looks like lava streaming out, but I think it's actually wires attached to explosives - so this would be a particularly dangerous moment in an underground #pit life that was never not risky in some way or other. One #miner is looking intently at the poking, while the other is turning to face us. It's a striking image, and but for a few twists in history I could well have been one of these miners myself.

Schmeichel is wearing tracky bottoms under his shorts and socks, which is a look I used to ROCK when I was a 'keeper. However, they are wrinkled, and there is no excuse for that in this day and age. #HEACEL

I like Andy Burnham, but I'm not sure he would've saved Labour from wipeout, or the country from the drive to the far right that Labour has already inflicted on us. Just hope that clapped out party now finally splits into pieces and dies.
