Just checked the calendar - a grim anniversary about today. I was chucked out of hospital 6 years ago, and I am still not that much better than I was then. But I am 2st heavier, alive and my pain threshold is very much higher than it once was.
I decided in hospital that I was going to enjoy my life to the fullest extent that I can and fuck death, fuck the advice, interference in my life that so many well-meaning but essentially misguided medical staff have given me. "If you are considering suicide, how would you do it?" Bugger me; you couldn't more effectively direct someone's mind towards it than that.
It's the sheer irresponsibility of giving advice or critiquing someone without knowing the context or being prepared to pick up the pieces in the dark hours of the night that makes me froth at the mouth. This could easily turn into a mega-rant, but this attitude pervades our public institutions, politics and society and it's bloody dangerous.
I'm living my life, making my choices good or bad. If I fuck up you can be assured I won't blame someone else and, if I am not dead I'll pick up the pieces. I've learned not to give any ground to fear, despair or depression. I just grit what few teeth I've left, plaster a smile on and enjoy what I can. You only get to pass this way once so you'd better make the most of it.

Breakfast blog.
Four thick cut rashers of Danish bacon, grilled. Two slices of Warburton toastie, buttered. Bacon rashers assembled in bread. Cut in half. Squirt of HP sauce on one half and a squeeze of tomato ketchup on the other. Tremendous scenes.
Everythings coming up Tuffers.

Games? No. Fencing? Yes. Lots of fencing. Now however, I’ve reached a spot where I have to dig through concrete to get the post in. In retrospect, I should have got a bolt down post bracket, but it’s too late for that now. I have a big hammer drill, and that particular problem looked like a nail. A few inches down, need to go a bit further. I’m sure the ringing in my ears will stop eventually.
Pardon?

I had to reread that, I thought you’d mixed the sauces together and was about to call you out as a deviant. |

Hello all.
As described last night, I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. Still a great film.
Gamesblog: Jetstrike and Wings on the Amiga. Both are quite tricky... my pilot in Wings, for instance, took a while to earn his wings. He then got shot out of the sky by Jerry on his first mission.
TVblog: 30 Rock.
DIYblog: I've drilled some wallplugs out of the wall (where the stair gate once attached) and filled the resultant holes. The boy sat and observed.

I've not had a bacon sandwich in absolutely ages. Should remedy that. Prefer a Morton's crispy roll tbh but cant get those delivered. I can't begin to describe how good these rolls are: www.mortonsrolls.com/traditional-crispy-rolls/Bacon, eggs, ham salad, cheese, crisps, leftover mince, anything goes. God I'm drooling. |

Knowledge is power, it's only right that he is learning that at such a young age! He's four in August... so a bit early to give him control of the power tools just yet! |

Some children who aren't mine woke me up at about 6.30 to tell me someone had hit me over the head and stolen a large quantity of beer and wine.
It's a good job I wasn't playing Duo Fortnite with Sheeps until gone 3.30am.

I need to clean the bathroom and also need to cut the grass. Grass I might do tomorrow. Alright Mr Tids, calm yourself the fuck down. Fuck off, you fuzzy orange cunt.OTTM: Van Der Valk is on ITV tonight @9pm. Synopsis: The murder of a young woman leads Van Der Valk and his team into a world of mysticism, drug addiction and tempestuous family dynamics. Much like a night in at Sheggers.. |

The Battle of the Beard has been fought and won. There's so much fluff I could knit myself another Pref. Mam. out of it. Pref. Mam. no longer a dead ringer for the Alm-Öhi. Result.
It's also beer o'clock.

Crankcaller Didn't Jiim Reid have some terrible hairstyle in the mid 1980s? Some. Sort of weird swept over style? This
Have you considered recreating it in lockdown? |

You could have stuffed a mattress with the hair left on the dining room floor after my daughter's efforts on my head (achieved with a beard trimmer no less). She has a potential future career as a hairdresser if the Financial Consulting doesn't work out. |

My hairs not as curly anymore so a lockdown recreation wouldn't work I'm afraid.

Sky just showed Alastair Cooks last ever test innings, at the Oval. He got a ton, obviously. What a run machine.
I've only been to the Oval once, and I also saw a ton then. Day 1 of the 5th ashes test from THAT series in 2005. On day 1, Strauss got a ton, flintoff got 60ish (I think) and Warne got a fivefer, maybe 6. What a player the bleached ozzy was, GOAT. Ponting brought him on after an hour of day 1. Unbelievable, Jeff.
I had a Pavillion seat, only 10 rows back. Glen Mcgrath was fielding on the boundary, getting loads of stick. It was a few days (weeks?) after the socceroos had beaten England's golden shower at footy, he gave loads back to the crowd, top bloke.
Cool story etc
