UK based reader, runner, gay. Spend too long in charity shops. Leftish.
Morning. 'I've done a lion stalking its prey'. Prey not pictured apparently. Anyway, it's Thursday, I went to the pub last night with friends to talk funerals and three months long walks. Pub is different in your 50s.

So despite all the rain and grey, it's properly light at 5pm and the sun came out briefly. Holding onto the good stuff.

You know that post prompt about men in glasses being hot? Well...

Morning. Given the valet a day off so it's Chazzer Choice. Inadvertently done a coffee froth shape: any idea? Pizza maybe?

The bloody protein influencers have got my cottage cheese. Been having this for lunch for decades and suddenly it's really hard to find. And I'm not stopping to the pineapple version, it's not 1992.

Morning. 'I've done an airplane coming into land. ' Ok, I can see that. Yellow mug for another grey day. Also tried the new draft thing writing this: quite handy.

Post a banger not in English

(I'd forgotten this fantastic song, the soundtrack to my Swedish jaunt in 2000).

My Ann Patchett reading spree continues. This was fantastic. It was recommended by a couple of people here and they were absolutely right. The blurbs of the plot always sound terrible: dead magician's wife goes to stay with his family. But the stories just sing. Proper magic.

Ran home, in the light. So much nicer. Trent looking a bit higher.

Mole-over week update
It’s time to see who won this week’s moleover!

I've come blinking out into the light because the actual sun is shining.

Ran to work. Good. Cottage cheese exploded in my bag. Bad. Oh well. Song of the run: queer classic Losing My Mind by Liza Minnelli.

Morning. 'I've done a triangular prison ' says the valet. And yet I see a gnome with a beard. Anyway. Monday. Yes, Monday.

Roast dinner, featuring @andyukb.bsky.social recipe Yorkshire's.

No tat bought, but did buy music. Thankfully they took my student discount card, bonus
February 8, 2026 at 11:45 AM
My happy place: tat for days.

Morning. 'I've done a detached house. With garage' says the valet. Feedback as always welcomed. Sunday, lazy start while we work out where to go for a little wander.

I've not eaten any fruit or veg today. Except red sauce in the bacon cob. No regrets.
February 7, 2026 at 7:48 PM
Bacon cob treat on a rainy Saturday. Being a grown up is great mostly.

Slightly soggy run, but longer than normal and didn't die. Also bagged pastries on way home again. River burst its banks a bit, but ok for now.

Song of the run is 80s belter Just a Mirage by Jellybean Benitez: thanks to @dnlmrkrssll.bsky.social for reminding me of its majesty.
February 7, 2026 at 10:40 AM
Morning. 'I've done Brian Blessed being attacked with an axe.' I don't even know which way up this one is meant to be.

Anyway, it's actually not raining here, so aiming to run soonish. Park Run cancelled, presumably flooding or too much mud.

Friday night Magnum with the 1978 Come Dancing final. Living the dream.
February 6, 2026 at 7:04 PM
Did I buy the ick glass mugs from the chazzer? Did I buffalo.
February 6, 2026 at 3:55 PM
Was a bit disappointed in this loaf last night as looked like it hadn't risen much. But inside: all good. Phew.
