Having a very agreeable time @therestpolitics.bsky.social with Rory and Alister. Terrific so far, but they need to sort their tech out (eg get a proper app and not use a browser!)

Had an absolute terrific time at the #BritishGP. Fantastic result, pity the GOAT (Sir Lewis) didn’t get a podium but there’s always next year

Another upcoming road trip with my (younger) son, the #BritishGP2025 which we can't both wait for. I am very fortunate to be able to afford to but more importantly I have a wonderful son to share the memory with. As he said "Money is temporary, memories are forever" after visiting #thegrandoldlady

Had the BEST weekend with my son at the #grandoldlady for the last ever FA cup game. Pity about the result but we’re focusing on the PL obviously. Made even better as during breakfast at Bold street cafe when #efc legend Leighton Baines walks in. My jaw dropped! Thank you for the memories #utft

Xmas present to myself arrived today - gone from Lavazza (which was perfectly serviceable) to #GrindTwo Nespresso machine. Obviously 1st espresso was served in a blue cup - lucky me (can you get Everton Espresso cups?)

After making some IKEA purchases in 2013, my #homeoffice is starting to look respectable, although no sign of ALEX drawers (didn't they make them then?) Still sporting a pair of Intel Mac minis as the main work horse(s) with plenty of storage. Didn't really like the GALANTdDesk in the end.

Had a nice bracing walk at Hengistbury Head this afternoon as apparently we're going to get some ❄️ in the south tomorrow (I believe it when I see it). Nether-the-less I am very fortunately to have this on my doorstep (certainly don't take it for granted) 👍

Moved to a new house in 2011 and this is my new #homeoffice space (same one I am currently in right now). I really needed to up my cable management back then!

This should be posted every week (day?) to remind everyone how the decision for #brexit has made our country significantly worse. NEVER forget.

Final #2024highlight was the family holiday to #LaCala - again beautiful weather, food & people, despite catching #covid whilst I was there. Nothing there could bring me down!

Another #2024highlight was visiting both the university cities of Manchester & Liverpool. Obviously took no pictures in former and loads in the latter. Also managed a quickly visit to #BramleyMoore. It will be truly magnificent when completed irrespective of what colour you support. #Everton

Another superb #2024highlight was an (another) city break in beautiful #palma in September. Lovely weather, superb (tapas) food and fabulous people. Would love to return one day. There's so much more to the city than just being an airport or a transit to elsewhere in #Majorca !

Next #homeofice pic and we're now into an era of Aluminium & Glass #iMac ~2010, along with the ability to go back in time with er, #timecapsule (never did work out to get a sports almanac). Also running an intel #macmini with a lot of (RAID1) storage

Continuing with #Copenhagen , #Nyhavn was just beautiful - pictures do not do it justice. Ate a lovely Danish open sandwich there.

Another #2024 highlight: #Copenhagen trip. Beautiful city & people. Had a wonderful time, if it was little bit expensive (but 100% worth it)
