This… the perfect winter’s afternoon in Cumbria.

Give Merino the number 14 now!

Mikel Merino …. STRIKER!!!

The Thames looked sort of dramatic on the way home tonight.

I can’t bend my head around what is happening in America. That’s it. That’s the bloot (as we are calling posts on Bluesky)

You may be looking to pundits to tell you where all this is going. Well, I have not a clue, other than US is nearing a constitutional crisis. And if so: nobody can know what will happen next. For that is the nature of any genuine crisis: it is a situation the outcome of which cannot be foreseen.

60% of Americans support what Trump is doing broadly, but they want him to cut prices. So what does he do? Slap 25% cost uplift on price of imported materials … beer, cars, canned food, new buildings etc etc will all cost more. Thing about tariffs is no one really wins.

WE HAVE FUNCTIONING HEATING.

Of course our boiler needed replacing in a persistently cold snap. No heating at all today or overnight - house is down to 11 degrees C. Many coats. Many, many coats have been worn all day.

Borrows from Facebook - too good not to re-post here.

Borrowed from Facebook … Tottenham Fans ….

Would be a shame if this Express poll didn’t go they way they hoped… 👉🏼 xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Saw a theory that Trump/Musk are trying to destroy the value of the dollar to promote their crypto currencies. Could be - I mean doing that makes running US treasury and central bank impossible, but they probably want that as well.

I have never seen the Emirates rocking like it was this evening. What an atmosphere - topped off by the City away supporters fighting each other and HUMBLE by Kendrick Lamar being played at the end of the game. #AFC

Who needs a dog? Wait, it’s more a case of if you have a dog, you need one of these to clear up the mess!

The Carpet of Legends #AFC

Have to admit I’m a tad worried about the state of the world lads.

Dear the UK: see what Trump and Musk are doing, ripping away the fabric of democracy to consolidate their power? That is what Farage and his ilk will do. Wake up. Do not imagine Reform want anything that is good for you.
