Me over the past month as I desperately tried to reduce the amount of stuff to move with: "I own too many books. I need to offload anything I don't expect i'll re-read. And I shouldn't buy more until I've finished everything here" Me yesterday, in a bookshop: "ooh books" I have a problem.

Yesterday was the first day in the new place and there were people playing cricket somewhere nearby. I'm not a cricket guy at all, but actually I found the sounds drifting in rather soothing background noise. Maybe I could be a cricket guy on an audio basis. TMS runs on 5 Live, right?

Knowledge is knowing I still have a lot to unpack from yesterday's house move and continuing working would probably have it done in another couple of hours. Wisdom is knowing that downing tools and heading to the park to have some dinner in such a beautiful setting is the far superior choice!

Had the smart idea to write a checklist of things that have to be done the morning of checking out of the old flat. Had the stupid idea that my brain could be trusted to stay on track with the task. Item 4 is lost forever. We'll never know. Or rather - i'll likely remember Saturday morning.

Also the "never work with children or animals" scene was just sublime. What an excellent night as per- Sundays at the Store are the best fun

Needed a laugh tonight so naturally #comedystoreplayers was the way to go. Featuring: The importance of acknowledging that people have nice personalities, how 80ft penguins polevault, some unexpected dangers around hulahooping and kayaking, a time travelling musical and, of course, the penis song!

When you're moving house and forcing yourself to go through old boxes of kit... Do I really need that cheque book with the last cheque issued in November 2005? Probably not. The big question is why I still had it. I have moved at least 8 times since '05. Madness.

Post-funeral chats are times for sharing family stories. Mostly all the old favourites, but then sometimes a random new one pops up and you feel a bit cheated for not having heard it before.

It’s a Superpower?? is the first thing I’ve ever written where I can honestly say I’m trying to please nobody but myself. Which of course makes it the most terrifying thing I’ve ever released.

Not sure if it's the heat or peri brain fog but I left the flat, marching downstairs with confidence, doing a mental checklist of items packed. "Yes, I definitely put that in the case..." Oh shit, the case. ** back we go ** (Good job I was still in the building) F**king idiot.

People have been asking where they can hear It’s a Superpower?? so doing a master thread here to link to as a stock answer! The show will be out weekly on all podcast platforms from Monday 27th July. There are 8 chapters in total. You can subscribe now. However, if you can’t wait that long… 1/

Some key departures this week at United. Not gonna lie, I am not ready for Millie to leave. I don't think i've ever seen her not smiling - her energy is infectious. And at away games her granddad would always come over to check on our journeys and offer up his boiled sweets.
