Hell of a game for a neutral, which I'm not. Right result for Wakey but it swung one way then the other throughout. Interception try in the last minute to win it. Cracking entertainment.

The number of times I've said "Get up, you big girl's blouse!" has remained pretty constant through many years of watching England play football.

Not a great game, but after three quarters in the US Super Football World Cup match between England Lions and Panama Canal Boats, the big cats have a two to nothing lead.

I just felt, deep down in the core of my being, that the original presentation wasn't thinking BIG enough

Thrill levels are at 9 after that first half.

Sadly, the thrill scale goes from 0 to 100.

We've lived in our house for almost 28 years. We know the names of our immediate neighbours but little else. Others in the road: the odd nodding acquaintance. No more.

We keep bumping into two lesbians - not a couple - and have interacted lots with them in local pubs, other parts of Portsmouth, and Pride events. Both of them, two different locations today alone.

Strange. Strange is more than okay, though.

George Orwell's "Two Minutes Hate" or FIFA's "Hydration Break". Which is the most obscene? Discuss.

Lovely day out, adding money to the MNDA charity while also drinking beers and ciders and buying toys for nieces. Hit two more pubs on the way home to boost the local economy. Yes, that sounds plausible. Home now, more drinkies, food incoming, football entertainment threatened.

Do you have a website that scrolls different parts of the page based on my mouse scroll button depending on some arbitrary interpretation of where you think I'm looking rather than where my cursor is? Great. I hate you.

Wife took off her bra in the garden while I was getting another drink. Feels like grounds for divorce.

Anyway, double-checked that wife was bra-free using the patent pending technique of poking her boobs through her top. Definitely lacking a bra.

"You know there's a bald man peering out of that window and looking this way," she says.

I did not. And now I do.

At an annual beer festival raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Morris Dancers, folk music (currently playing the Captain Pugwash theme mixed into Mike Oldfield's Portsmouth), and a range of ales and ciders. Bloody lovely way to spend a Saturday.

Fedi over the last few days:

For #SchiffsSamstag here's Ametista, a pusher tug based at the port of Lisbon. This was taken from our balcony just before heading down the river Tagus and out into the Atlantic in 2021.

The smile they give when they can't say "cowson" in the performance. Lovely and knowing.

Fave sync drumming ever.

Right, everyone sing along and try to hit the high notes with Janet Kay. I'm sure we can all do it.
