A good and bad Saturday. County TWICE throwing away a lead against a bang-average Barrow side, to end up with just a point. Not a result that suggests things will change under the new manager.
But a better evening, watching #TheaGilmore at The Gate in #caerdydd […]

An unintentionally arty photo of #norwich Cathedral taken last night that I found on my ‘phone this morning. I’ll let you guess whether it was taken on the way to, or the way home from, the pub.

Is this the ugliest new building in #caerdydd #cardiff? That cladding looks cheap and nasty NOW, whilst they’re still building - it’s hard to imagine it’s going to age any better.

Some new #enshittification (to me anyway) this week. The Guardian now asks you to choose between accepting cookies for personalised advertising, or to pay £5pm for an "ad-lite" (sic) version - not even an ad-free version.

SpVgg Unterhaching vs DJK Vilzing. An easy 5-0 win for the home team, and by god it was nice to watch a game of football where the fans turned up expecting to win. Great atmosphere even in a stadium more than half-empty. And €10 to watch that was a bargain.

We very sadly lost my father-in-law a few months back. Very kindly, my wife’s family have bequeathed me his #cigar humidor, and it is a real pleasure to (slowly) be sampling his impressive collection. Happy Friday night to you all.

Hilarious fun at U10s football tonight, with coaches finding it utterly impossible to be heard over the noise and distraction of fireworks. Total chaos.

The old maxim with FPTP is "Win from the centre, then move the centre".
UK Labour are seemingly doing that - but inexplicably are moving the centre RIGHTWARDS where the territory is much less favourable towards them. Why on earth would a party do that?!?

After a few quieter gigs, back to some classic #shoutyblokeswithguitars tonight at Clwb in #caerdydd / #cardiff. Not that fussed about support band #citydog, but a superb set from #kidkapichi which had the old place properly bouncing.
