Feels like a Glenfiddich kind of an evening 🥃

A very early start on the train to Birmingham for work. Will need to keep the coffee flowing today!

Just heard The Fairytale of New York on the radio- first Christmas tune of the season.

Whilst I’d love to be grumpy about it, I don’t have it in me- I love this song and the festive season is on the way 🎄🎅🏻⭐️

Bore da from Cardiff!

A very entertaining trip to the Principality with 11 tries scored- just a shame seven of them were by Argentina!

Nice to see LRZ back in a Wales jersey.

I’m currently watching the latest season of Strange New Worlds. Mostly it’s felt lacklustre & I’ve been disappointed.

However tonight I watched Through the Lens of Time & I was blown away.

It felt like the perfect combination of old & new trek.

I loved every second of it.

Ultra Processed People is blowing my mind.

I knew ultra processed food was bad for me (and everyone else), but learning just how damaging & addictive it is has been eye-opening.

It explains the struggles I have had with weight and food my whole life & that is empowering for change.

I don’t often watch the Bundesliga, but I’m glad I did tonight. Bayern Dortmund was a fantastic game!

Feel like Dortmund deserved a point for their second half performance.

Tonight it’s a re-read of Back to Basics before swinging into Friends and Foes for the first time!

What’s your comic of choice tonight?

Another trip to Cardiff means another chance to grab an excellent coffee.

Kin +Ilk in Pontcanna was the cafe of choice this morning. Excellent Colombian filter has fuelled my morning so far!

A glass of red and this month’s Monocle. A relaxing way to end a busy week.

You know you’re back in the south-east when it’s £8 a pint 😱😱😱

Not the best night for #Cymru, but fun to spend the evening booing the Canadian keeper in the most petty fashion possible after his comedic dive half way through the first half.

Oh and a nice free kick from Derek Cornelius as well.

Visiting Berlin tonight courtesy of @okwonga.bsky.social.

Halfway through reading this sensational book & I want to leap on a plane to get engulfed in Berlin’s flurry of wild promises & eat some marzipan-mohn at a local cafe.

Taking my joy where I can & loving chilled Friday nights in my 40s!

Hiked up a mountain. It was a big one (for Wales). Good use of the bank holiday weekend.

Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead is the best book I’ve read in years

A masterful coming of age tale channeling the dark, Dickensian world of David Copperfield into the systemic poverty of modern rural America,it gripped me for each of its 626 pages

Heartbreaking & spellbinding in equal parts

I take it back. This is worst football shirt ever created 🤮🤮🤮

First run since February after various injuries. It felt really good to lace up, even for a short, easy jog.

Slow and steady is the key!

Today’s Lego how to draw masterpiece is Z Blob in his knight armour.

I made a controversial choice to add colour to what was a b&w line drawing in the original video.

The 8 year vote was split down the middle. It’s either ruined it or made it cooler.

You decide…

It’s the summer holidays, so of course I’m spending my days doing #Lego ‘how to draw’ tutorials.

Was actually quite pleased with this until child 1 informed me with disdain that it isn’t the Dream Hunter, but is in fact the Night Hunter and I had ruined it!

I’ve recently begun using a fountain pen for the first time since school.

What a revelation! It’s such a joy to write with- smooth, light and somehow makes my chicken-scratch more legible.

Also it looks great!
