Ah. I appear to have had a mild breakthrough.

☕️

Curry night, shouldn’t really be making roti with white flour but it’s what we have in and it makes such a pretty balloon

Sunday morning, work on my dispersion, Sunday afternoon, beer and cinema for Backrooms which is apparently quite good

Of course for *football* Scotland can suddenly become lenient with licensing laws and allow pubs to be open later, etc etc etc. football always a special case, gotta keep the pigs happy.

Elon Musk is a straight up racist cunt, and one of the most dangerous people on this planet.

Last day of being able to work in the sun, summer is over

"you're such good dog owners", the vet to us about an hour before I throw a ball and send Pecan directly into a young tree which promptly explodes in a cloud of sawdust and leaves her with lacerations across her face. (She's fine, but ffs, getting too blind to be a staffy that wants to run about)

Made it until 10:30am before the cacophony of boomers and their power tools made their way out into the peace and quiet of our sunny garden alas

Don’t make me tap the sign, “correlation does not equal causation” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You can tell the sun has come out

Couldn’t sleep this morning so went to the indoor golf centre at 5am with one goal, to work out how not to slice the driver - and I’ve bloody well gone and done it, and even added a nice draw to my wedges and irons - even terrible heel and toe shots are getting 200 yards straight down, finally

Do love seeing the e-mails from golf, "such and such has added themselves to your tee time", and recognising the name as somebody I played with in the last week or two, building up a small group of super nice friendlies who want to walk around a field and hit balls with me.

lol.

Always like when Radiohead members bring out solo stuff and it's really obvious which bits of Radiohead albums they're clearly responsible for, Ed O'Brien's latest release is no exception to that.

Everyman for Top Gun throwback tonight, danger zone ✈️

Really turned a corner thank to that session at the indoor golf place this weekend, every iron was cleanly struck on the course today, high apex, straight line and a really good sound, it's a shame I've now lost the ability to swing a driver - man fuck golf.

When you run 12km to the pub and this happens at 5pm, oh no

Good morning ☕️

Wes Streeting can fuck off, palantir puppet pally with the mandy the prince of fucking darkness, cunt should shut the fuck up and retire to do public speaking to tech bros and sell crypto or some bullshit

Two hours at the training centre this morning trying to capture some of the chaos in my natural swing and combine it with structure and repeatability - great progress made, hopefully this carries with me onto the golf course next week

Hmm, entries open in a couple of weeks and my CWT credit is applicable for it, I mean - I kinda have to don’t I www.northerntraverse.com

Roland has left the building once more 🫡

There is nothing wrong with data being shared across NHS A single patient record is a good thing What is not good is Palantir being anywhere near it GPs are currently data controllers (protectors) & want to protect patients Govt wants to ‘force’ this No to Palantir in #NHS

Ok, so we’re averaging a Reform councilor resigning every 48 hours for racism too extreme for the racist Reform party.

Roti chicken is served, hopefully pecan forgives me the back seat of the bus - I’ll never do it again I promise

Eeesh, went to the back of the bus cos the largely muslim existing passenger contingent all backed away from the dog as we got on, and now we are being thrown around every time we go over a traffic bump cos we are sat over the rear wheels, pecan may never forgive me - it’s like a rollercoaster

It’s alright today innit

With this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.

Well that was one hell or a day out

Been a while since I did one of these

Well that's Saros completed - fun game, but waaaaay easier than Returnal, and that's not a good thing. Somewhat sucks the joy from it when you're bouncing through the biomes killing one boss at a time without dying.

Who remembers the WHO saying this about Covid in early 2020? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.who.int/emergencies/... :=D

Not playing golf this week cos I don't want to accidentally bugger my back before the ultra this weekend, but it's doing wonders for my game as I take the pitching wedge into the field with the dog and practise my aim/set-up/chipping.

Voted - the number of independence parties on the peach ballot at the very top was reminiscent of that whole "People's front of judea" sketch.

Pecan is however, not under crate arrest

Got a guest but sadly he’s on crate rest and cannot play

It's SNP supporters like this that remind me that they're not all fuckheads ;-)

It's SNP supporters like this that make me want to see the SNP crash and burn

Scottish Elections tomorrow, and we have the following options and manifestos, as stated by their own leaflets - Tories: We're not SNP, only we can stop them - Labour: We're not SNP, only we can stop them - Reform: We're not SNP, only we can stop them - Green: Climate, Nature, Renewables, Transport

Decent final 10km in the bag before this weekends race, easy kms for 8km and then a nice fast finish to really stretch out the joints

Saros good

I see Dawkins is at it again

Really haven’t ran enough for somebody who intends to run an ultra next week, oh well 🤷‍♂️

…… why tho

Not all cops, but probably most if not all cops actually www.bbc.com/news/article...

That "new" Courtney Barnett LP is an absolute cracker if you're into that sort of thing. Just a lovely confident and cohesive comforting millenial ramble. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqhJ...

That was a fun little interval session in this sun 🌞

Game came back to me today, three lovely pars, great iron shots directly onto the green, why can’t it be like this every time
