Back at Sale's old ground, in yer' actual suburb of Sale. Small but perfectly formed. Here to watch a pre-season friendly against Connacht.

From 'The order of the day' by Eric Vuillard:-
A very revealing quote from The Order of the Day by Eric Vuillard. There is not enough room on here to post the whole thing but the gist is how odd it is that some tyrants pay lip service to due process

I actually quite fancy this but it's a bit out of my price range. Anyone got a spare 180 quid burning a hole in their pocket? 😉

I think my Met Office app needs a bit of a geography lesson.

It's at times like this that I'm less keen on living in a flat. I'm having a Friday night in and it's boiling, so I've bought myself a nice bottle of Rosé. If only I had a lovely garden to drink it in.
My hand is holding a bottle of Rosé wine. There are two labels on it. A small label on the neck of the bottle says 'the Best' and a larger label on the main body of the bottle says 'Côtes de Province'. There is more writing on this label but it is too small to read.

Looks like I picked the perfect weekend to go away on a meditation retreat. A beautiful location too. Have to say, I've not missed my phone much.

Having a fun time in Glasgow. I really enjoyed travelling on the underground. Opened in 1896 apparently. Good old Victorian engineering, eh?

The Times presents this as if it's somehow a bad thing.

(no sign of this article online at all, btw)

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

I'm looking forward to this. It should be interesting to see some of Sale's younger players.

Ooh! I really fancy this. Yes, I know only go to see bands who've been around for a thousand years. I'm old, OK?

The cover of Jurassic Shift by Ozric Tentacles. It shows a man who looks like a wizard (I think) walking through the ocean. His head is above water and he is stepping on what might be giant pearls. I think!
