This is a wonderful story. Given the general state of the news it’s worth remembering that people can still be fantastic.

One of the nicest stories I’ve read all year. This is how we beat them. Solidarity forever ❤️ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I dropped out of university at end of year two and lied to my parents. They still believe I'm there and are now asking when my graduation is. The moral of the confession is stay in uni.

When taking a shit I like to look at the Rorschach pictures I produce on the wipe

David Squires on … a dose of reality for Igor Tudor after Arsenal’s visit to Dr Tottenham

Great night watching Liverpool band Casino support The Lightning Seeds. Nice to hear one of the tunes he wrote with Terry Hall just before he passed away.

Last of the tomatoes, but the start of the peppers and chilli harvest from the garden.

A little niche, but if you need a 3D printed lace bobbin holder, I just released a free model. makerworld.com/en/models/17...

This mornings peppers. #hydroponics

I wrote up some notes on how to use a cheap LinkNLink device with Home Assistant to replace a harmony remote. www.goulbourn.com/posts/2025/r... #homeassistant

This new internet age check is brilliant. Using a VPN I can now 'research' top Pornhub videos from different countries. There is some weird shit out there. South Africa, I'm looking at you.

It was an absolute joy to do Towersey festival last year - it has now metamorphosised into the Found festival - check the line up - I’m on the same day as the fabulous John Hegley www.foundfestival.uk

Why I 🧡 the web. drawafish.com Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟

Our robot vacuum cleaner (Geoff) is either showing real ambition or the rise of the machines has started. I guess it’s a sunny day, so who can blame it for wanting to spend some time in the garden?

Took youngest to see Jamie Webster, She’d Seven and James yesterday in Thetford. Jamie smashed it, great night out.

One of the images from today that really made me smile.

Take a look at the 75 years of F1 that been put together by the BBC and Getty Images. You don’t have to be an F1 fan to enjoy this wonderful collection of images www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/...

We are on the flight path for VE Day celebrations. Barney decided that the best way to watch the planes go over was to lie on his back and roll from one side to the other as they passed overhead.

My 3D printed rack allowing me to cosplay as a sysadmin (with apologies to Geoff Gurling)

Can’t stop crying at this www.theplayerstribune.com/alisson-beck...

If like me you’ve been upset by the news this week - take a look at these petitions.

Waiting for the @thehornesection.bsky.social to come into stage in Ipswich. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but all the background music has been *improved*. Classics like “walking in Ipswich”, the Beatles “back in the I P S W I C H” amongst many more.

In Colchester watching the wonderful Andy Zaltzman solve all the world’s problems. My 16 year old has been well prepared having listened to enough episodes of @thebugle.bsky.social

Brilliant 20 min documentary on one of my favourite songs by the wonderful @ianprowse.bsky.social Looking forward to catching him in Norwich at the end of next month. youtu.be/3-6w6XVKom8?...

My slightly delayed Xmas gift arrived today and brightened up a grey Feb day. I’m made up @ianprowse.bsky.social

Finally all the moaners about Liverpool’s lack of transfer business can shut up

If you're left brained you see a fish If you're right brained you see a mermaid

Something has to be done about PL timekeeping. You’ve multiple goal kicks taking >30s a time and a physio on the pitch. The keeper is warned but not booked despite carrying on doing it, and add only 2m of injury time. A goal is scored in that injury time and you add 17s.

There's a parliamentary petition for an independent review of the Cass report into gender medicine for young people. It's a problematic document from by the previous government, shaped by TERFs. If you're a Brit, you can sign it, whether in the UK or not. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

5am start to get to the @ianprowse.bsky.social gig tomorrow. Weather for the journey looks “interesting”. This will be my third Xmas gig in a row and it’s easily my favourite night out annually. Looking forward to songs of hope, support, defiance, the odd tear and the best party of the year.

Just the loveliest night amongst friends and fellow guitarists at St George's Hall. All hail Timo Tierney’s great work for the Florrie. An honour to be involved.

This is one of my favourite photos due to the correct number of Hags.

On the way back from Caty’s graduation, a man sat to my right on the train and opened a tin of fish. Then proceeded to eat the mackerel from it one by one. I was relieved to still have a sinus infection.

The members sale kicks sand in my face yet again. Only tickets we’ve got through sale in the last six years got cancelled because the stand wasn’t finished last year…..back to zero credits.
