  • It’s January 2024, a new year, and the perfect time for me to dust the cobwebs off of my blog…for approx 2-3 weeks before I fall out of routine posting 😝

  • Nothing much biting today, at least the weather was nice. ☀️

  • One of this mornings keepers, a 29cm Yellow Fin Bream, caught in Lake Macquarie.

  • Bought myself a boat.

  • 2 English Staffordshire dogs playing

  • Dear Neighbours,

    I apologise for singing such hair metal classics like Alice Cooper – Poison, Black Sabbath – Crazy Train, Motley Crüe – Kickstart My Heart, Warrant – Cherry Pie, and Van Halen – Jump, amongst others, at the top of my voice this morning…

    🤷‍♂️😜

  • An embroidered Arsenal Football Club badge on a red shirt.

  • Second last football weekend of the season. All our Boys Youth teams are on today, except the Under 18’s who play tomorrow, away at Belmont Swansea United, aka BelSwans. We’ll need to win at least 3 from 5 games today to secure our place in the top 4 of the Club Championship…big day! ⚽️

  • Got a session with my psychologist today, last couple I’ve just walked in and rambled for 45 minutes, they were not productive sessions… Today I’m going in with a topic, identity, specifically self-identity, as it’s something I’ve struggled with since I was a kid.

  • 📺

    Loved the first couple of episodes of Ahsoka, along with the general Star Wars galaxy since it’s been with Disney. These smaller story arcs really suit the TV format versus the big movie experience.

    Keep ‘em coming Disney!
