Farke. He was in trouble at the end of last season and it’s only a matter of time.

This is a great punchline I wrote for a joke about an octopus. Sadly I cannot remember the joke.

Not to be a pedant, but last season our squad average age was about 33, so it follows that this year it is probably 34. I’m not saying that is good, in any way.

I don’t think I have ever been this sweaty in my life and I am generally a sweaty man.
Bloody hell that was hot
Some classic pre-season nonsense from tonight’s fixture. One goal in the opening hour, seven in the last 30 minutes. A 5-3 defeat, two penalty saves and a worrying amount of minutes in our decrepit legs. ONWARDS 💚

Last night’s lighten was a fantastic album from The Delgados. Didn’t garner much of a reaction from the family I’m sad to say. I loved it however.

And tonight was this classic, picked up from Truck Store for a huge £4.50. I’m a huge fan of Duke; other family members were not as keen as I was, but didn’t go as far as disliking. #dukeellington #vinyl

So two weeks off turned into four weeks of sick leave as my back has turned to dust. Happy to report that we are now back to records as I can sit at a table again. Last night we enjoyed this Marnie Stern joint. Big thumbs up from the baby who was grooving whilst eating a burger. #marniestern #vinyl

It has taken 34 years and ten months, but last night I finally used ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’ in a sentence. (I realised immediately after that I meant ‘disestablishmentarianism’.)

Obviously tonight not last night, I am so incredibly ready for two weeks off work.

Got through this utterly huge rager last night. One of my favourite albums as a mid- to late-teenager and still rips today. Super wintery album. Theo tonight was more taken by a nappy bag floating through the air but Holly listened eagerly to my musings about the feels I get from this. #autolux

We’re currently doing a side a night due to time constraints, and we’ve started the week with this absolute all-timer. Soundtrack of my youth baby! The fact that I now have a baby is really bringing the whole aging thing home. #deftones
