Wings,huh?

You have left wings, right wings, centre left wings, centre right wings, green wings, socialist wings, alt right wings.

Tbqhwy, I’m a bit ‘winged’ fatigued.

Is there a ‘nice wing’ where the ultimate aim is to just get along and help each other without having some ideology forced on us?

Christmas.

It looms on the horizon like a massive dog turd.

Sunday.

Today will be a day of log fires, bubble baths and eating up food from the fridge that’s nearing its ‘use by’.

Snack number 1 - cheese bake with chorizo and hash browns. Which on reflection might work. Tho not exactly healthy eating.

Dilemma:

After today’s diet of beer and exceptional pub food I’ve got a genocidal case of ‘the farts’.

‘Box is asleep next to me.

So, do I get out of our warm bed and go ‘pump myself off’ in the bathroom.

Or do I just stay in bed and ‘blow the bloody doors off’ and pray she lives?

Had a fantastic day in London.

It was also the Lord Mayors parade so the place was thrumming with people.

Every person was courteous, happy and fun.

As London has now, apparently, been taken over by ISIS (according to Musk) I must congratulate them on how great it is again.

No beheadings tho.

And home.

Ahhhhh. Bisto.
November 8, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Thank fuck we’re off that train and in the fresh air. Been too hot for November.

Ahhhh.

20 mins until the next bus home.

(Actually pretty cool we can use public transport all the way from the top of my road to get into London and back).

Finally! Boarded the 19:50 train back home from Waterloo.

Due to some ‘navigational dissonance’ on the underground that may, or may not, be related to alcohol consumption, we missed the 19:20.

Ooops.

Had a quality afternoon in London; much sophistication and culture with @jenbren.bsky.social, @bwianair.bsky.social and of course @ionawonderbox.bsky.social

Country bus shelter graffiti.

Might explain the few inbreds round these parts, eh?

Picked up a bag of Jelly Babies at big Tesco as ‘Box has never tried them as they’re not a thing in the US.

She’s slightly concerned as they have vegetable carbon in the ingredients which can absorb birth control hormones or something.

Tho I doubt anyone ever got ‘up the stick’ by eating them.

One of the villages near me organized a bit of firework display in a field on Saturday night.

And some fun sponge on Facebook is now complaining it was all too, to the extent she reckons they set off the smoke alarms inside her house.

Yeah. Right. 🙄

Spent a lovely afternoon in the local (county community pub) playing games with ‘Box (Hive and Quirkle).

Had chats with two different sets of people, sharing stories and jokes.

Stayed for dinner and sat down with the new chef - who was utterly fantastic, like “mind blown” good.

Excellent Sunday.

When I first met ‘Box in person I’d just come out of a pretty terrible 25 year marriage.

Tbqhwy, I was just a skinny lad.

At the time, I didn’t know no good from bad.

Anyway, she makes my rockin’ world go round.

@hubbit.blog ‘Box just told me it was your birthday, so wanted to wish you many happy returns, squire.

She always talks about the time she spent with you in Chicago with much affection.

😘🎉🥳🎂🎁🎈🎊

A certain someone isn’t feeling too bright today (don’t mention the microbrewery).

Even bringing her flowers got a muted response.

…maybe my homemade cheese and bacon burgers 🍔 will help?

Woke up at 3am and heard the gentle raw of the boiler. Which means the frost-stat kicked in at 3C (outside boiler).

This morning it was 13C in ‘Box home office. So I’ve finally relented, put the heating on for a whole hour, and lit the big stove.

Can it be Spring already please?

For ref, dinner was:

- BBQ baby back ribs boiled in Chinese 5 spice, garlic and other stuff, then roasted in Korean bbq sauce (home made)
- roasted butternut squash
- corn on the cob with salted butter
- air fryer chips in dripping
- green beans and tender stem broccoli
- sour cream and chive dip
Y’all UK vs US debaters think Americans can’t cook?

‘Box ribs with hot Korean BBQ sauce.

And ALL the trimmings.
