They're still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain

Working in HE in August used to be way quiet than this. Super fast mode to enable annual leave tomorrow.

Ahhh, Salutation Cust Name 01. Hard to see why I'm leaving British Gas boiler cover with such customer care.

90 minutes of Olympic Lifting followed by doing this pairs workout solo and not cutting the cals has killed me off. There are dead eyes behind those shades.

Is being slightly late to work because I stopped so stroke Barry the cat an acceptable reason?

Annual leave as a grown up - loads of fun!!!!

Missing Oscar and his antics a lot this morning. The best little Doghole there ever was.
July 4, 2025 at 7:49 AM
An 1100 mile last second flight home at 4am to be with Oscar at the end. Lots I could write, but more than anything else I loved that Dog more than i knew was possible. He was the best little mate I could ask for. Sleep well little man, you were the goodest of good boys.

On route to Milan for the final two gigs of a three year long Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band tour.

Bruce Springsteen in Prague. I don't want to go back to work this week. Can I just tour with the E Street Band instead?
June 15, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Praha, for the next gig.

Saw an old style Photoautomat in East Berlin. Improved the process. Consultant life never stops.

A great Bruce Springsteen Day at Anfield. A fucking Beatle turned up with a surprise Sir Paul McCartney sing song!!!! Then I got 21 nuggets in my box of 20.

Today is even better than yesterday. Max Weinberg's Jukebox at The Cavern Club with the best possible company.
June 5, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Just look at that man's happy little face!
June 5, 2025 at 12:26 PM
Yesterday was a great Springsteen Day. Even if my attempts to get Santa Claus is Coming to Town played didn't pay off.
June 5, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Prays to Bruce Springsteen to invite me on stage at Anfield

Several times over. Always good to do a refresher course. Based on above, can see you haven't 🤣. Can also recommend this, but I've only skimmed it.

Best and oly life advice book needed. Anyone who says "I don't need to read this" should read it twice.

ID checked for an energy drink because I "look under 25". This is what a smug 33 year old looks like.

This may look like Oscar showing me affection, but actually post gym and he wanted to steal the salts from my skin.
