Watching the #GBRCAN #WinterOlympics Men’s Curling Final. Starting a bit stronger than normal, but it had to be🥇 Northern Monk - Patrons Projects 42.07: Aurum Electum* DDH IPA (7.5A%) #BSkyBeer *Selected Gold

I can justify a midnight tipsy gig ticket purchase when it’s only £13.20 (£14.70 after bollocks). I did check my calendar in case of a double booking. #MusicSky

Yawn #Caturday

Watching TOTP 22/02/80 and Blondie - Atomic. M&S|Northern Monk - New England IPA (6.2%). A juicy banger or whatever the cool kids used to say. #BSkyBeer

Sounds interesting.

The Enemy - Social Disguises (indies exclusive pink vinyl). Their first release in 10 years. #MusicSky

No mention of The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales 🤦‍♂️ leeds-list.com/things-to-do...

Imagine not qualifying in the Short Track Speed Skating (500m) heats. Going home after 42 seconds. At least in Curling matches last 2.5-3 hours and there are 9 round robin matches minimum. #WinterOlympics

Skimo looks knackering. Won or lost putting their skis back on. #WinterOlympics

Kirkstall - Blonde (4%) @ Victoria Family & Commercial Hotel. First visit of reopened boozer. #BSkyBeer

Always try and make sure my occasional visits to the office are beneficial.

There is a Mexican place opening up in our office complex. Don’t hold much hope for any interesting cerveza. Ni modo.

Tomorrow going into the office for the first time this year. Hope to try and listen to some Look Mum No Computer to hear what the shizzle is. Hope to finally visit The Victoria & Commercial too.

Was driving onto the Stanningley By-Pass near Wickes this evening when 3 cars drove past erratically. When I went to turn off at the next junction traffic had slowed and a car was stopped with it’s front caved in. Hope it was 1 of the 3 dickheads and not an innocent driver.

#ChineseNewYear 🐴 #PancakeDay 🥞

Is #WinterOlympics bobsleigh/luge/skeleton a good spectator sport? Get the feeling it’s a bit like watching rallying where they just fly past every 5 minutes.

Shame i’ll be at Glastonbudget when it comes out. youtube.com/watch?v=IHWl...

My water & sewage charges from Yorkshire Water have gone up 80.4% since 2019. But inflation has only gone up 29.7% in that time 🤔

My daughter, who only ever calls if she needs something, is staying over at a friends house. That friend has a new kitten. You can guess what the phone call was about. I said I want a puppy next but don’t want to disrupt Mr Boots and Peggy.

Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy P-P-P-P-Pancake Day. (Nutella skid mark optional).

Watching Life of Chuck on Netflix. This is North Yorkshire apparently. North Yorkshire, Eastern Europe.

Liking Monobob. #WinterOlympics

Feel blessed having 5 decent record stores within a 6 mile radius. Panicked that a pre-sale album had sold out at Crash within 3 hours for it to be available at Norman. (I’ve not been to The Vinyl Whistle in Headingley yet either). #MusicSky

Those in Bradford over spring/summer, Jim Moir aka Vic Reeves has an exhibition at Cartwright Hall 28.03.26-31.08.26 #BigUpBradford bradfordmuseums.org/event/jim-mo...

None of the North Parade bars open in Bradford open until 14:00 and The Exchange is closed on a Sunday ☹️ Northern Monk - Patrons Project 50.01 David Bailey (6.2% ESB) @ Northern Monk, Darley St Kitchen. #BSkyBeer

#TurnerPrize 2025, Cartwright Hall, Bradford. Zadie Xa was my favourite. (Closes 22.02.26). #Bradford2025

Off into Bratfud with my wife for a morning of art and an afternoon of culture 🍻

Ruined Valentine’s Day by being the only person capable of putting batteries in The Chase board game timer. C'est la vie.

Been baking and cooking all day and now the bar is open. Watching Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poussin for the first time in 15 years whilst sharing a Roosters - Blame It On The Tetons (6.3% Mountain IPA). Romance isn’t dead. #BSkyBeer

Seeing Roni Size is up north 🙂 Seeing he’s in Manchester 😕 Seeing he’s on a Sunday at 22:00 ☹️

Replaced the glass in our old stove in the lounge. That’s DIY done for 2026.

Found a recipe via Google AI for a 3 cheese roulade which I thought I’d lost a decade ago. Didn’t realise it didn’t have cooking times or took curdling into account 🤦‍♂️ Thank goodness this isn’t my first rodeo.

Watching the Matt Weston highlights on iPlayer. The first British man to win a #WinterOlympics gold since Christopher Dean (when I was 6). Got a bit dusty whilst I watched it.🥇

A beautiful blue sky over Pudsey this morning 🌅 Not seen vapour evaporate from our fence like this before.

Roses are white Violets are blue If you’re from Yorkshire Red roses are poo #ValentinesDay

Nightcap. Thomas Hardy’s Ale (2024) bottle 06658. #BSkyBeer

First beers this month whilst watching Predator: Badlands on Disney+ (Hulu). #BSkyBeer

Haven’t been to the Pudsey M&S since they expanded the food & drink section. Still have a decent selection of beers that look unique to them. #BSkyBeer

Got an unexpected phone call from my Mum. Asked her to turn her TV down in the background. After a while realised the Instagram Story I was watching had been un-paused by my ear 😬

It’s also got me listening to Modest Mouse again.

Good to see Michael Portillo on Channel 5 at MiniHollywood Oasys. He didn’t lean on a cactus like my daughter did when we visited.

Trying to work out if Snowboard Cross is pretty much a procession after the first 30 metres. Reminds me of BMX racing whoever gets to the first corner first. #WinterOlympics

Moguls. Totally bonkers. #WinterOlympics

The Milano ice skating arena at night is like a military bunker surrounded by reservoir sluice gates. #WinterOlympics

#SmallProphets is a charming whimsical gentle slice of British comedy. Binged the whole series this week. Mackenzie Crook should be treasured (even with that pony tail).

Chinese New Year on Shrove Tuesday. Feels like crispy duck next week 🤔

Sad to read Fuggle and Golding, Ilkley will be closing at the end of February.

There was something that bothered me about this film which was confirmed when I watched some original footage today. Eddie jumped parallel/Däscher style but v-style in the film. Amateurs.
