Stumbled across someone selling this today, didn't know it existed! Whilst I do like to buy everything Noon related book wise, this is a stretch to far for me. Looks amazing though. #booksky #Vurt

My first mince pie of the year, Greggs, Chievely Services. Needed a tea for the trip back to Wales.

#FPL #GW8 Wild carded last Sunday, the team stayed the same all week other than Saka in/out back to Palmer. JP capt >> De Cuyper autosub, Haaland picks up the armband points. Target the poor teams they say, so Tavernier+Evanilson in, and ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’โšฝ๐Ÿ˜…

This yearโ€™s Irish Halloweโ€™en turnip, and a handful of those of from years past (they donโ€™t always make it, if they rot before dessicating) #Halloweโ€™en #Samhain

#TwinPeaks rewatch. S1E2, I remember all the girls at school going on about James, the brooding biker, whilst us boys it was simple lust for Audrey Horne ๐Ÿ˜‚ BOB

What a goal for Evanilson ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚โšฝ And in my #FPL with Tavineer too this week!

Just watched the movie F1, and well that was shite wasn't it. Like proper boring shite. #moviereview

drilling for more gas then telling us to stockpile because of the climate crisis is like digging a deeper and deeper hole because you know a guy who sells long ladders

The Great Orme is a modern gothic thriller... As youngsters, Zach and his six best friends meted out their own brand of justice. Grown up, Zach's friends have moved away. But The Great Orme won't let him forget. He recalls his friends. Will they confess... Or will they fight for their freedom?

No wind but moderately heavy rain bang on start time, a little slower today. Spent most of the run trying to stop my contact lenses being washed out! #parkrun #pontypridd

On to my fourth Christopher Priest novel. Barely a few chapters in and Iโ€˜m already completely immersed. With so much to read, โ€˜The Prestigeโ€™ has been waiting patiently on my shelves for a few months now. Some things in life are well worth waiting forโ€ฆ #booksky

Thank you to Mina Holland from the @theguardian.com for the write up about our Table Beer yesterday! This saw an incredible bump in our Table Beer sales, which directly helped us raise more money for Footprints Baby Support. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/oc...

Think I'll be skipping through alot of the football podcasts today, there is only so much 'Man Utd crisis' chat that can be tolerated. Again.

I have a weird announcement. On and off for the last five years, as a contract writer, and as a senior writer on staff, I've been hoping to be allowed to say where I worked. Today I finally got the green light: I've been working on the next Mass Effect. 1/6

Finished last night 'Dark Eden' by Chris Beckett, which was interesting in parts but not sure I'll go get the next 2 books In the trilogy, found aspects of it irritating. #booksky #SF

#FPL gw7 saw small red arrow, from 380k to 504k OR, Kinksy failing to keep a clean sheet which might have limited the damage. I'd chatted on here about taking a hit to do Sangere to Manzambi, but decided against it, I'm trying not be so cavalier with hits, annoyingly would have paid off this time.

Done๐Ÿ‘

Short run today 3.8k to test my calf that's been a bit tight following a walk last Sunday to the '4 waterfalls' near Merthyr, some challanging steps meant most if the week I really felt it. #runsky
