An unexpected trip to Swindon this evening means I’m only just now sitting down to finally finish ep4 of #DownCemeteryRoad.
My God it’s good. Excellently cast. Emma Thompson is superb as Zoe, and frankly Ruth Wilson (totally would) can do no wrong in my eyes. The rest of the cast are flawless.

In my ‘local’, after a very successful evening of badminton. I only lost one game of the five.
Superb ales and great chats with friends and a couple of neighbours.
Hazy Plan is a great hazy IPA.

Evenin’ all.
Back to work today, and it wasn’t utterly dreadful.
Still got a big scary meeting about my ‘role’ and my ‘future’ on Friday though.

Feeling weary but happy.
I'm home from my annual trip back to Surrey, for a mate's birthday party. There's a theme each year. This year was "Somethone/thing beginning with the first letter of your name". Rather than go as an M&M I went as Eminem. My buddy was "John McClane" from Die Hard.

After two months of not playing #badminton (after tearing my hamstring muscle in my thigh while playing), I cautiously went back to playing this Tuesday and again today.
It seems I'm back to near fitness, although I was VERY careful not to lunge too much!
I'm so happy! I've missed playing so much

Since my trusty #iPhone 15 Pro Max has decided it can no longer hold a USB-C cable in its port (I tried clearing it out of any pocket lint etc, before you ask), I’ve switched up to the new 17 Pro Max.
I stuck with the blue because the orange version is “a bit much”. Data transfer now complete.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Currently on hold to #NSandI for the billionth time. Of all the aspects of administering my late father's estate, these officious pricks have been the very worst. They've had the death cert, then a certified copy of the will, several lots of forms, and now they want even more paperwork #PremiumBonds

I’m off work this week, so naturally I stayed up watching videos until 5am, had a massive lie-in, to compensate, and have just inhaled a six-sausage sandwich for my 1pm brunch. #winning
It’s just a pity it’s pissing down outside, as I wanted to take Stanley out for a long walk.

Got home later than usual -nearly midnight- but it was a great session and we were on a roll.
Halfway through it. Having a whole lot of fun but already knackered!
