I was thinking it must be about 30 years since I first set up a website. Just checked and in fact it was 31 years ago. Where does the time go??

Heads up folks - if you have a collection of Fighting Fantasy books up in the loft, check out what they're worth on ebay (some silly prices!). Son #1 is about to break £1k in two months selling his FF and some Warhammer stuff. Stuff we bought him 25 years ago.

So what's stopping the govt going hard on climate change and not letting the right wing media set the agenda?

Cricket, golf, F1, and now darts. A veritable plethora of sport on the tellybox today!

Cheeky overnight trip to Woodbridge. It's been a while since we've been here and they've redeveloped a long derelict boatyard and it's quite continental now.

Where's the link to fund @countbinface.bsky.social for his Clacton campaign? I'd offer to put him up here in #colchester but our dog wees on bins, so that like, wouldn't be good at all.

I'm selling a number of son number 1's old books on ebay for him. What's a bit galling is that books we bought him for xmas and birthdays at £15 a pop, he's selling for 10+ times the prices. He's even got a Fighting Fantasy paperback we bought second hand, that's up for £240squids!!

Here's an idea : Labour, LD and Green field a single 'unity' candidate, leaving Reform, Restore and the Conservatives to split the far right vote.

Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, General Eisenhower, we gave your boys a hell of a beating! President Trump, Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth can you hear me? We gave your boys ONE HELL OF A BEATING!

We're in the local Open Gardens tomorrow, busy day today getting the garden ready. I've got my gardening gear on.

Sad to wave goodbye to my last non e-bike, but it was picked up by Re-Cycle in #colchester and could end up in Africa. But on the positive side, I needed a hole punch, and I used the hole punch I've had since about 1973.

By being the best player on the team by a country mile??

The BBC's 40 Glasto hits programme what is on now is really good #justsaying

Sitting in front of a fan doing my Lego. Had to resort to superglue on this bit, having used language Jabba the Hut would have blushed at. Did think back to the 20 years I used to commute to Bloomsbury from London in all weather.

Back from the GP's after a PSA blood test. The GP advised a 48hr abstinence from cycling, gym and ejaculation as they all affect the prostate. They cancelled the first appt so it was a 96hr abstinence. The weather warning says to stay indoors and not to exercise. I mean, what am I supposed to do???

Excuse me, I'm trying to watch the telly in here.

Keir, Keir, read the frickin room, just read the frickin room. #starmer

More Brewery kit gone. To add to kit now being used for ice cream and for kimbucha, I now have kit gone to be used for coldstoring potatoes and for scalding chicken carcasses prior to plucking.

The good news is that we're going to say goodbye to the humongous potholes on our road. And they're doing a proper resurface, not a splash and dash temp repair. The bad news is that they're doing it at night. They're working up the road tonight and tomo they're doing our stretch of road.

I was out for a pub lunch earlier (around lunchtime would you believe) and was much taken by this urinal splash guard. Apols to those of a female persuasion who until this point had lived a full life without knowing about urinal splash guards.

A couple of hours in the sun and a wooden two wheelie bin store in place. As #colchester has moved to wheelies, our old plackie bin store has been broken up and taken to the dump. #upgrade

A night away, glamping in Suffolk. Not quite the weather we had anticipated when booking in Feb.

BBQ soon, so a bit of time on the #lego #starwars. I'm not putting the sections on yet, as I'm going to do some 'finessing' to make it all stronger, as it's quite weak in places.

Splitting the F in the garden to banging tunes from the Taste of the Caribbean festibble at #colchester recreation ground 200yds away. #rasblutclaat

I'm afraid @keithbeard.bsky.social that needing to send a message to David Lammy who is only on X isn't a good enough excuse to be on that platform. You can send him an email or a letter instead.

It's been a good year for poppies in our garden.

Drinking beer and eating pork pies in an old churchyard with the wife. It's the #colchester beer festibble!!

Grizzly murder in Suffolk. Police were looking for a large bearded man in a fur coat and fur hat who shat in the woods.

I fear that whoever is working this hot bank holiday for Brewser and is in charge if doing their emails, has had one or two too many beers.

I'm about 20hrs into this #lego #starwars and about a third of the way in.
