Well that was a bit sticky at the end for #SaintsFC. Another three points though.

What’s that you say? #SaintsFC 3-0 up after 35 mins! Nah! 😲

Congratulations Lando Norris! World F1 Champion. 🍾🥂🎉👏👏👏

Going to re-live my childhood.

Made bread for the first time in our new home today. Different water (soft, not hard), different oven, different climate (wetter) and actually it turned out pretty good. Focaccia, as you asked. 😁

This is why we need the arts and the sciences.

6 days after we moved house. The new home has 8 rooms. 7 of them still have removal boxes, 2 of them still completely full of them. Moving house is exhausting. (Still haven’t found the box with the bathroom things in. Living out of our travelling toilet bags.)

Scienza on fire for #SaintsFC at the moment. Azaz looking good too.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

So, we moved into our new home yesterday. Already been welcomed by four neighbours (and their dogs), the postman and the local window cleaner. Feels like a real community. Shattered after a week of preparing for and then moving, but all worth it for this view from our new sitting room.

Good start by England in the Ashes then. 🙄😬

So, can we expect prosecutions for Johnson, Cummings and Wormold for their “inexcusable” failings during the Covid outbreak? Of course not. They should all three be brought to book for their actions, or lack of them. So many more people died than should have.

Today’s lesson from moving house. Make your lunch before the removers start packing up the kitchen! 😂

What perfect album came out when you turned 16?

Last week of living in our home of 30 years. Lots of empty space as we have gotten rid of some furniture. Doesn’t really feel like home anymore. Looking forward to moving though. This home has fulfilled its purpose and now it’s time for a change.

Right, that’s coffee done, now time to clear out the shed before it rains.

Orinoco Flow. What the hell were the lyrics about? #TOTP

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

When we told family and friends that we were moving 200 miles to the end of a Cornish lane at our time of life (late 60’s) quite a few said we were mad. Have just spent a couple more days in the area prior to moving we’re even more convinced it is the right thing to do. Don’t give up on your dreams.

Morning BlueSky peeps.

This is great news. The Joiners has been there for years and now hopefully for a lot more. 🎧 #musicsky www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What’s that? #SaintsFC had a win last night! Will wonders never cease? 😁

Has to be done. Tiramisu.

The reality of downsizing? Opening a self store unit as you are not sure that everything will fit in your new, smaller home.🙄🙂

That time of year again. 🍁🍂🍁🧹

If you have not watched it yet, do yourself a favour and watch Once Upon A Time in Space (BBC iPlayer). Yes it’s about space but it’s really about what it is to be human.

Another week, another #SaintsFC manager (hopefully quickly).

Probably my last #Saintsfc game for a long time, and what a pathetic performance to finish with. Sport Republic really have mismanaged the club for the last few years. I see very few positives to take from the last three seasons.

Today’s NYT Connections was fun. 🫤

Virtual Safety Car, really?

How can they punish Hamilton but not Verstappen? Verstappen drove him off the track!

#SaintsFC being SaintsFC again I see. 🫩

Good Morning Romsey looking magnificent this morning. Open 9.30 - 4pm Come by for a browse, buy some incredible albums, then take in the sites.

Our house move might actually be happening (exchanged contracts today after a prolonged period of no logic at all delays). Celebrating with a glass of champagne.

😬🫣

Come on #SaintsFC! Having grown up a Bristol Rovers fan losing to Bristol City is not an option!

Well, that wasn’t close at all was it! 😳 #INDvENG

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

How on earth did #SaintsFC not score in that game?! Much more positive performance though, just could not get the ball in the net.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
