Right then...alarm set for 4.15. Target is to be showered and ready for the day in time for the afternoon session at 5.10. Which is precisely the time by which all my high hopes for England will be over.

I think I'm most excited about having a beer that fills up from the bottom. Like something out of The Jetsons.

What's with this weird dark red lighting on the bus? Was like it yesterday too. Maybe because it's still dark out?

Yyyyyeeeeeessssss! I don't know how I did it in that chaotic ticket scrum but I got myself a Kraftwerk ticket!!!!!!!
When I saw them in 2017, they were probably the greatest gig I'd ever seen.
It's going to be amazing.

I've definitely needed the break from Rovers but I admit it's rather nice to be back today.

Feel quite sad about Kofi - I was hoping he'd choose one more year of first team football. Life changing for him though

I have to admit - BlueSky is a bit quiet for me. I don't miss the horrible noise of Twitter but I feel like I'm out of the loop with Rovers news and rumours. I refuse to go back to Twitter though. Maybe GasChat?

I'm still so constantly blindly hopeful - I keep thinking how football can always surprise you and that it would be just like Rovers to go and win today. Why am I like this?

That'll be the demograph both trying to care for elderly parents with no social care, and support adult children who still can't afford their own houses, or to have children. They're seeing the impact of everything.
Coming back to this, it's striking when we talk about the most disillusioned in society the image is usually Gen Z man or a retired man. But (albeit from a high baseline) the person most likely to say things in the UK today are getting worse is a woman in her late 50s/early 60s.

Goodnight everyone I hope you all have a beautiful sleep
There are people in this world that love you
Never doubt that
Sometimes we never realise that till we ask for help
And that takes tremendous courage
But they are there waiting
❤️❤️❤️💙❤️❤️❤️

I can't help but feel we could win today. But I often think that and get cruelly proved wrong.
Maybe though...
