Sat in the lounge reflecting on my favourite part of our Japan adventure … has to be this.
Hopefully, a picture does truly speak a thousand words.

Hiroshima Museum is one of the most emotionally powerful places I have visited. I experienced despair, anger, sadness, and hope.

To vindictive how impactful of a place it is, this protest was not only fitting, but it was in the perfect location.

A reminder of the world’s ills…

So happy that I finally was able to get rid of my Tesla. A real world consequence of Elon’s disgusting behaviour … about £10.5K.
Appreciate that I am fortunate enough to have been able to do something about it … others aren’t so lucky.

At the game Friday, been to OT six times this season. Love seeing the lads live, but atmosphere the last few times I’ve been has been flat and tense.
Chicken and egg, but I do think performances would improve if we could back the players better on the pitch. Only Stratford End singing

Finally got access to my PlayStation wrapped … surprising result, but a top game. Think my favourite still goes to Alan Wake 2

The lighting effects and the general aesthetic in Indiana Jones on the Xbox is insane.
Even more incredible is the overall feeling and tone they have managed to produce in this game, worthy of sitting alongside the original trilogy

I love my dog … but I can confirm without the need for research we are most certainly aren’t on the same wavelength.
Perfect example, she will happily run around in dirt without fear of consequence. I get the vacuum out as soon as I see a hint of fur/dirt

Rediscovered Lego during the pandemic, introducing it to my friends and family.
Bought the VW T2 for my Grandad. Unfortunately he was unable to complete it due to illness and passed away in October.
It’s been an honour putting it together in his memory, it’s almost complete.

Been working hard on my swing the last 6 months. Not quite getting the results I want .. but it’s getting there.
Still some road to travel though, particularly on hip and leg movement.

Chipping off some 7 irons the evening before my morning round … it has become a small tradition to play nine holes and walk the dog Christmas morning. Love dog friendly golf clubs.
