Sun rise run this morning #runningpunks mainly because I was excited to get out to listen to the new Mogwai album. Keeps it's cards close to its chest but no doubt will be a grower.
Nothing hidden in the new Ditz album, kicks you in the chops for 38 minutes and never relents.

Fantastic service from DPD today. Brand New speakers which cost £500 left at the wrong address, worst of all left in a general waste bin on top of all this gunk. Laughably described as "left in a safe place" 😡
