As an (increasingly) interested (but with next to no experience) sailor, this was a brilliant read.
Easy to forget how even 'basic' technology widely available to us now just wasn't an option back then.

God knows how the insta algorithm works. I mean, some of the stuff it chucks up is absolutely ridiculous.
In other news, I may be in the market for an end-grain chopping board and a Japanese santoku kitchen knife.

A few weeks back we contacted Cats Rescue after a stray #kitten turned up on our street.
We took it in and 3 days later the owner was found.
Fast forward to this week and Cats Rescue contacted us about another kitten that did need a home...
Bluesky, meet our newest family member, Olive. #catsky

Just got home after a late shift on the Railway.
Not a fan of the term 'Railway Family' but Jesus, absolutely rocked by news of the incident at #Huntingdon tonight.
Madness.
Thoughts with all those involved.

The older I get (and the more youtube I watch,) the more buying a boat and sailing off into the sunset appeals.

Just went for a bimble and got a coffee. Passed a car show room on the way and thought I'll have a quck butchers.
£655 a month for 5 years, then a £17k balloon payment - for a Ford.
I mean, who *the fuck* would pay that?!
I'll stick with the banger.

Absolutely knackered. Today was the Great South Run.
(I didn't do it. I'm knackered from sitting in the traffic because of it on the way to work.)

Well, I wasn't expecting to bump into Stephen Graham on my break in London this evening.
(By 'bump into' I mean 'see' - through a crowd.)
Still cool, mind. Bloke's as cool as a cucumber. #BFIFilmFestival #StephenGraham

For months now I've been putting off painting the house.
Every time I'm off and it's been dry I've been going out on my motorbike instead. (I mean, c'mon, #yolo.)
Anyway, today I've done it. Went with Sandtex 'Chalk Hill'.
