I’m off to Ireland for a quiet weekend with Irene..

I’m more Marvel than DC but always enjoyed a Superman movie. That was until I watched the new one.. it was so bad I didn’t even get past half way through. What an abysmal movie.

My car is on the blink and we have yellow storm warnings in the East Midlands. Perfect day for driving the kids to Nottingham for the Forest game tonight.

Watching Season 3 of #thediplomat (which is excellent btw and you should all watch it). It makes you wonder how on earth Trump manages to be US President when even the people in a TV show make it look hard. He must be surrounded by so many yes-people who cover for him daily.

Inspired by @zackpolanski.bsky.social I joined the Green Party today. I like his honesty and now more than ever we need a loud voice in opposition to Reform.

very very proud dad moment this morning.. my son Tom just got his 11+ score and it's way over what we expected or what he needed to go to the school he wants. it's such a relief! I'm buzzing with excitement on his behalf.

Got tickets for Forest v Porto next week at the City Ground. I have always been rather ashamed that I’ve never been so I can’t wait to put that right. It’s a surprise for my son’s 11th birthday (yes he’s coming too.. and my daughter). #COYR

The kids and I just watched Senna. It’s been a while since I last watched it myself. I’m
glad they’ve now seen it because it’s a remarkable film and he’s an extraordinary person. No matter how many times you replay his fatal crash it still gets to you.

I took a rare look at my LinkedIn today. All the people I know seem to be hugely successful and important but here I am sitting in my pants, eating chicken nuggets. I think we know who’s winning.
