I watch the sport, drink the drink, listen to the music, follow films, and avoid the world.

There was quite a lot of emotion

Hastings go three-up in double-quick time and then hang on to beat Beckenham 3-2

I have completed the 'Survival' level of Icelandic Online.
This means, should I be stuck in Reykjavik, I could tell someone that my coffee machine is broken and that I would like more red wine.
I think the makers of Icelandic Online really get my priorities TBH.

For a terrifying twenty four hours, Icelandic Online was down

Thankfully, those dark times are behind us now

Hey, I wonder why so many people (relatively) are watching this stream of a Greenland airport

Oh ...

Kangerlussuaq, as of the now
Me, in St Leonards, watching

Before the free kick, after the free kick

A Lily Smith screamer was the difference between Hastings United and Montpelier Villa today

There was rain, there was Bovril, there was only one goal in amongst a lot of effort across the pitch and a fair few flashes of drama. Plenty of fun at Eastbourne Borough v Hastings United even if the game went, as expected to Borough.

Plenty of passion but a lopsided scoreline as Steyning leave the Polegrove with the points against Bexhill United

I genuinely find it staggering that I put up some silly words and some not-great photos after a match and then literally *more people than were at the game* click on to read and look over.

I will never stop being surprised.

Here's one from 2008. ISO 800 beyond the camera's tech.

Chaos, cards, crowd noise, and a discussion about boot cleaners ... all in a competitive game that ended 3-1 to the visitors

That sound of me speaking in tongues is because I have become aware of the existence of Ku'damm 77.
Time to get back to Duolingo.

It's always a good game when Steyning roll into town

They left with the points today too
