Lancastrian living in Yorkshire, likes books, sometimes scary - sometimes not, writes books, sometimes scary, sometimes not, likes interesting things, likes some boring things, likes word counts and a sense of humo..
Over in Morocco for a brief holiday. Landed last night and it was 38 degrees c at 10 at night. I’m a reasonable person but that’s just too hot for nighttime 🥵

Great performance from rovers last night. Keep this attitude and determination and we have a good shot at the playoffs.

Spotify Wrapped has identified who I really am. Apparently I’m a micro-obsessive of obscure & not so obscure artists, appearing in their top 0.1% of listeners & I gravitate between smooth funky groove soul, pink pilates princess strut pop & pumpkin spice softcore indie.

I have never felt more seen

I’m not a fan of yet another round of internationals disrupting the Championship season. This stop-start makes it even hard to work out if we are regrouping, losing momentum, turning a corner, or just need to work on a few things, than usual.

My experience of annual business sales forecasts are that they are made up of “History” + “that new thing that’s not been tried before,” going really well. “Stretch” forecasts are just a total fabrication. You can apply this model to all other forms of forecasting. Thank you.

Found myself on the edge of a Scottish funeral wake. They had a piper, who stepped out onto the terrace to play a lament whilst the sun was setting. Incredibly moving. I could see mist swirling on the breeze. Then a man who had been vaping stepped into view. Kinda spoiled the moment.

Looking for life after Twitter. Did anyone really ever buy into it being renamed X?
