Learned how to wire a light fitting, and the new office/guest room is pretty much done. Last bit to build - the desk.

Just watched the Severance finale. Loved it. Please don’t make us wait years for S3. 📺

🎵Now Playing: SBTRKT - SBTRKT (2011)

I needed some momentum so I could fit all my work in this afternoon. This provided that momentum. Tunes.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Hold On
  • Wildfire
  • Pharaohs
  • Never Never
  • Living Like I Do

Having a room decorated over the weekend. I’ve had to empty it and so the rest of the house is a complete mess. It’s worth it. It’s worth it. It’s worth it.

🎵Now Playing: Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer (2025)

I assume I heard this band on 6Music sometime, but I saw this album in my “to-listen” pile and for this chilly, sunny, Salford day it was pretty perfect from the get-go. They play Manchester in April so I’ll definitely be getting a ticket to see how they are live.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Antarctica
  • Karen
  • Jet Fuel
  • Hangman
  • Mercy

🎵Now Playing: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Up from Below (2009)

Their tiny desk concert found its way on one of my feeds and I remembered how great this album is. 2009 is frighteningly becoming ancient history.

Favourite Tracks:

  • 40 Day Daydream
  • Jangling
  • Carries on
  • Home
  • Desert Song

🎵Now Playing: Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1994)

They might be coming to an end, but Wu-Tang will live forever. The beats are glorious, the rhymes victorious. It’s a classic for a reason.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Shame on a N**a
  • Can It Be All So Simple
  • Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F' Wit
  • C.R.E.A.M.
  • Method Man

It really is amazing what a bit of 🌞 does for the old noggin, a thoroughly productive weekend.

I always feel a bit smug about not having kids, but never more than on World Book Day.

Couch to 5k has begun (who even am I anymore).
