This is Hugo! He’s our dog baby, even though he’s middle aged.

3/4 Pug / Jack Russel. All the grace & finesse of a pug, all the attitude of a Jack Russel.

I do really like Ash Sarkar. I don’t agree with all her views but they’re always interesting and she’s a phenomenal communicator.

Luvvies trying to play The Traitors is kind of funny. They’re all so nice to and about each-other. The behaviour is so ingrained they can’t escape it.

Joe Marler could wrap me up in that pink blanket. Hold me, Joe 🥺

Trifle is a pudding basin of sherry with some bits floating in it.

This is not up for debate.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

No.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

Smashed it 😍

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

This debate cuts deep.

I won’t touch a trifle that isn’t so boozy it’s a fire hazard.

Husband thinks it should just be jelly, custard and squirty cream.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

That is the perfect amount of mash. Assume you have extra gravy in a jug on the side thought?

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

Tempted to go for another run just to get away from the dog barking.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

Please can fireworks fuck off now.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 1d

Omfg the dog hasn’t stopped barking for 4 hours.

Picked up some Karrimor ones from SD, nothing fancy but good enough to get me going in this wet, muddy and slippy-leaf weather.

They’re the Caracal Trail running shoes, reduced to £35.

And yes, before you ask, I am wearing TfL Victoria line moquette socks.

8:30/km pace to break in the new trail shoes. I’m a very soggy cub right now 😅😓💀

2-0 to the Bees at the London City Stadium. 17 shots, 15 in the first 45. 400 passes, 89% pass accuracy.

Today we played like we wanted to be there. It’s a good day to be a 🐝.

Well, I started training today. 5km walk after work. 18k steps, 13.5km.

Then I had a pint and a 40cm hot dog with fried onions. And a bag of Haribo.

Let’s see how this goes before we take options off the table.

In a moment of rashness I’ve signed up for a half marathon. I guess I need to buy some running shoes. And a years supply of Mounjaro.

What happened to 18+ pubs?

Every pub I’ve been in this weekend has been like a crèche. Kids running around everywhere.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 4d

Yes but on Bluesky

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 4d

PVA.

💀

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 4d

We absolutely have to stop pensioners working at the tills.

I just got refused service for fucking PVA because she couldn’t tell if I was over 18.

I’m 40.

Mike @ldnmike.bsky.social · 5d

Not so long until I’m 41. Should I start on the bucket list?
