Here’s a quick roundup of my 2025 works, quite a few of which are still available.. 😉 Thank you for your support over the past year and I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2026. I hope you achieve all that you’re prepared to work hard for and that life is kind to you. ❤️💙

I hope 2026 is kind to us all

Wasn't sure of the exact meaning of this so looked it up. Well 2026 is already lining up to be pretty damn significant one way or another, but I'm really not sure I like either of those definitions 🤔😬

This is still making me chuckle

Yay spam! No, Netflix, no I'm not 🤦‍♂️🤣

Never showed you all my Smyths haul from yesterday. Apparently I got there about half an hour after they'd restocked both the HW and the Speed Champions shelves 😎 Might be my best single haul ever

This is bloody lovely. The temptation is strong...

Night night sweet dreamies Hold your boundaries with confidence. You don’t need to revisit the people, habits, or beliefs that caused you harm. Mental health isn’t a race. The pain didn’t arrive overnight, and healing takes time too.

Pretty sure I should have a biblical hangover today, yet am almost entirely functional Not complaining or anything but it's definitely weird 😆

If there's one thing that's hammered itself into my brain since my diagnosis, it's that an awful lot of people on social media take an awful lot of shit *way* too seriously. Just read it, disagree, and move on. Life's too fucking short FGS. Either be kind, or shut the fuck up. Not that hard 🤷‍♂️

I was really hoping not to see this headline tonight. What an unfathomably terrible thing. Holding the Hamlins in my heart.

Dunno if I mentioned this But I've bought a Breitling Yeah, fine, it's a "cheap" one But I've wanted one since like 1992 So this is a big deal to me And y'know, I might be dead in five years, so my lack of fucks knows no bounds

While I have had a lovely day having some deep conversations with a very close mate, and some equally truly appalling-taste dark jokes with the same friend, I do find myself sitting here, now he's gone to bed, half-cut and in a weird mood

Ridiculous tuxedo cat does ridiculous things ❤️

Pics as requested! My Chronomat is a '94 and after I sold the Omegas I flipped years ago and kept this--the quality is outstanding, none of em held up as well as Breitlings do. (Two watches I want rn is a Grand Seiko Snowflake and an Arnie. Grand Seiko is the other quality "wow" seeing one irl.)

Might have just done something awesomely stupid Can now add Breitling to my list of brands in my watch collection 😬😎😱🥳

Well that's the best sleep I've had in ages! Shut my eyes about 7pm. Briefly remember waking up about 11ish but went straight back out, then woke up properly about 3am. Closest I've come to 8 straight hours' kip in literally months! Long few days ahead though, think I'm gonna need more of this..!

This is how thrilling my life is lately. Labelling lego drawers 😂 TBF I am doing some catching up with mates in between hospital appointments over the next 3 days, so a quiet one today is required I think...

Your occasional reminder that one of my road legal daily drives is a forward control converted Land Rover Discovery and I still love the thing #weirdcarbs

Willing to bet there'll be someone on here who can assist!

If a young man [of fighting age], unable to speak basic english, is able to make the perilous crossing of the Channel in a small boat in mid winter, take your job, romance your girlfriend and buy your dream home from under you, you need to think about upgrading your basic skills.

Moral victory for getting make and model in two. Annoyed at the year roulette, but they have been using that name since the dawn of time 😂 Cardle 4/5 Streak 1🔥 🔴 🔴 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🟢 www.playcardle.com

Quite well up to speed on things arriving uninvited and beyond my control just recently... But if anything it's opened me up to the world, weirdly. Been to more places and spoken to more people in the last 6 weeks than the last 6 years, I think!

Was really hoping that at least after the first op I'd be able to sleep for more than about 4 hours at a time, but apparently that still isn't A Thing Body might have no say in the matter next year when more treatment starts kicking my arse, I suppose 🤷‍♂️😆 #BringItOn

Night night sweet dreamies All I would like for Christmas is for the person reading this to know they are enough and they are loved

This is spectacular. It's worryingly close to drinking a Crunchie 😬 Good job I only bought two cans 😂 Merry whatever, happy summat else, and bah humbug to the lot of you 😝

Here we go, again...

Fuck me, we made hard work of that! #Arsenal #COYG

Arranging lots of catch-ups with friends between Xmas and NYE. I figure that January is going to whoop my arse into 2027, and I don't know how it's all gonna play out, so I want to see 'em while I'm still upright and functional, just in case Morbid, I know, but hard not to think about this stuff 😞

Just been informed that a 2nd hand Ducati 996 is, should worse come to worst, both a faster and cheaper way of ending it all than Dignitas I fucking love my friends 😂

Post you from a different era (This is gonna scare the shit out anyone who has only seen photos of me from any time in the last ~25 years...)

Maybe instead of car shopping, I have this old girl shipped off to an XJ specialist to bring back to life... @luden-classics.bsky.social Are you busy these days? 🤔😆

How bad could a cheap XKR *really* be...? 🤔 Yes, I have mislaid my marbles. 🤣

Having one of my occasional "Let's browse Autotrader" mornings and, of course, my default hunt is for luxobarges. But then I think "Well, the L322 kinda does everything I need from a luxobarge - space, speed, comfort - so why am I looking at other stuff?" Truly don't know who I am anymore 😱😂

I hope the EBUS got what it needed because I'm never letting anyone do that to me again while I'm conscious. Nope. I told them I was scared and would struggle and would like a GA, but no. Try doing that to me again and I'll stick things up/down/in holes you don't want them and see how you like it

That's breakfast done. Now can't eat or drink anything except water until 11, then nothing at all until after the EBUS! This is gonna suck 🤦‍♂️🤣

Back to hospital tomorrow for an endo bronchoscopy Really not looking forward to that one. "Open wide while we stuff this camera down your neck and into your lungs. No, hold still, it'll be easier if you hold still" 😬😱 Still, then it's all largely done until January. I get a little bit of peace!

Watching "Lego Brickumentary" and I'm close to switching it off because I can't stop shouting "Stop calling them fucking Legos!" at the screen 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Normally wouldn't broadcast a fallen soldier, but this is how you send off your #bustedride to the scrap yard.

Do you like cars, retro games, and sci-fi? Do you drink tea or coffee? Do you wear t-shirts? Do you put art on your walls? GOOD NEWS! I have a range of UK-produced, high-quality merch that may be right up your street. Available (almost) worldwide. mrjalco.myshopify.com

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Be compassionate. The world is difficult enough for people, and you can make it a little easier with kindness.

Just decided that I'm sick of having my close-range glasses hanging off the tip of my nose, and ordered some Oakley varifocals, transition lenses that turn purple (of course), all the protective coatings under the sun, etc. I am committed to being a full-time four-eyes now

Urgh, now it's a few hours after the biopsy I'm *really* feeling it Totally understand why they wouldn't let me drive to this one, because there's no way in hell I could have driven home. Savaged. Still, they got what they needed. And now we wait.

I know there are plenty of #Warhammer gamers on here, and my mate who chauffeured me today has been at it since we were kids. So with his permission, I filmed his army. Don't know much about it, but I do know this is awesome work! Bluesky's compression killing the quality, as per usual...

Biopsy done! She was fucking digging around in there forever. Went in three times 😱 Still, she's pleased with what she got so hopefully this'll give the MDT enough info to make the call about what's happening on that side. Being released back into the wild shortly. Phew.

Right then, bedtime. After a recently-quite-rare day off from hospitals, I'm off out at WTF o'clock tomorrow for a lymph node biopsy. Which I'm not allowed to drive to, so a mate is being an absolute star by dropping me off, then coming to get me when I'm released back into the wild ❤️

If you've been following my newsletter for the past year, you have seen that during the second half, I released 4 articles about my first time at the 24 hours of Le Mans. I changed topics to avoid reader burnout. But there are 3 more articles drafted, including of course, the race weekend! 🏁 🧵
