playing eFootball Kick-Off!, which is alright. Konami sacking off PES for this is a crime, but nowhere near as bad as them ranking Jan Koller as a 92

did a gentle 10k with some pals today, maybe the finest way to spent a sunday

val is currently in a phase where my pillow is her bed, so this is how i’m currently sleeping every night

just finished Super Mario Galaxy 2. a fantastic game, corrects everything wrong in the original (except eliminating the motion controls completely). give us another mario game asap please @nintendo

went to see midsomer murders on stage last night, an act of middle-age only matched by completing my 70th parkrun this morning

i will never stop scrobbling

RIP to a real one, but it’ll always be The Bunker to me

IT’S MONDAY TAKE YOUR TIME… I’M THE BOSS AROUND HERE

just finished re-reading Kazuo Ishiguro - Never Let Me Go (2005). had a death in the family last year, and i’ve had the nagging sense of wanting to revisit this book. still a grief laden thumbs up once more from this reader 👍

had the line ‘out on my skateboard/the night is just humming’ from Pavement - Range Life rattling around my head for weeks now

very similar to the plot of the greatest movie ever made

extra rare charity pull

just been for my first swim in a public baths in the UK in ~20 years, ask me anything

just finished Saltwater by Jessica Andrews (2019) while on a Jet2 flight. i, too, feel cosmically connected to my mother, and had no idea how to survive in my early 20s. not as accomplished as Milk Teeth, but a good thumbs up 👍

SLUGGO’S NO DRAB GAB TUESDAY

souvenirs from greece

normal, non-holiday posting resumes tomorrow. one last time: yamas!

it is bliss to be alive

the nation of greece has adopted generative AI with such gusto, and in ways i never imagined possible

We're looking for a positive, enthusiastic and commercially minded person to join our volunteer-led Board as Commercial Director. ➡️ wdcfc.co.uk/blogs/news/commercial-director-role

tried (and failed) to climb a massive hill to see the sun rise this morning. forced to settle for watching it on a hillside whilst eating yoghurt & honey. still very nice. yamas!

four other photos for you from my ongoing holiday 1) beach cat 2) beach cats (cats in the jazz sense) 3) street cat having tea 4) me after my morning run today (no cats involved sadly) i am sure you are overjoyed with this content. yamas!

the lotus corporations rapid expansion plans show no sign of stopping

the worst AI article i’ve ever read, and it is on the west website. i feel like i’m losing my mind. have we been hacked? www.wdcfc.co.uk/blogs/news/g...

an incredibly silly place, fair play @greece.bsky.social

west in the midlands, i am alive 🎉🎉🎉

just finished reading Gwendoline Riley’s latest, The Palm House (2026). Not as many punches to the gut as a normal Gwendo book, but she still gets a few in there. One of the best currently doing it, long may she reign. A hearty thumbs up from this holiday reader 👍

new gwendoline riley next 🙏

just finished Milk Teeth by Jessica Andrews (2022). there are moments that capture the bruising that growing up poor leaves you with better than anywhere else i’ve read, the disgust at being observed. other parts didn’t hit as hard to this reader, but a thumbs up regardless 👍

WU FUCKING YIZE

west in a cup final, wu yize in the lead of the worlds. if they both win, it could be the greatest day of sport on record

8 frames from immortality. anyone with a soul is with you, wu yize.

murphy 3-1 down at the mid session, perfect time for the bbc to discuss how good he is and put this graphic up. don’t think yize got a mention. good stuff.

the magnificent wu yize defeated the slug mark allen. it is all i can think about

wuuuuuuuuuu

pundits spend the entire session calling mallen a genius, and saying yize would snap, then react like this after he bottles the black? the agendas couldn’t be any more clear.

wuuuuuuuu I AM IN HEAVEN

i was not joking. WUUUUUUUUUUUUU

this time tomorrow, the magnificent Wu Yize could be in the semi finals of the world championship. make us dream, Wu!

playing tomodachi life: living the dream. all my characters are local cats. i’m doing great thanks for asking.
