"People say that health is the most important thing, but that's not true. Peace and freedom trumps everything."

Great film about an anti-nazi Norwegian resistance fighter.

Get blown around like a bastard but God does it look better without the screen. 😍

'One man's transparency is another's humiliation.'

Found this a bit complicated at times but still, an interesting read about the struggles of running a political party - some self inflicted.

As an (increasingly) interested (but with next to no experience) sailor, this was a brilliant read.

Easy to forget how even 'basic' technology widely available to us now just wasn't an option back then.

A few weeks back we contacted Cats Rescue after a stray #kitten turned up on our street.

We took it in and 3 days later the owner was found.

Fast forward to this week and Cats Rescue contacted us about another kitten that did need a home...

Bluesky, meet our newest family member, Olive. #catsky

MOT and fresh plugs and oil.

We're in business for another year. 👌 #motosky #xjr1300

Well, here we go... For the first time since I took ownership it's MOT day for the Yellow Peril.

(Should go through easy enough. Also having it serviced.) #motosky

No evenings like this now the clocks have gone back. 😪

Still, we'll get out when we can. MOT next month too.🤞 #motosky #yamaha #xjr1300

The older I get (and the more youtube I watch,) the more buying a boat and sailing off into the sunset appeals.

Nice read, this. #JustFinished The Half Bird - Susan Smillie. #booksky #bskybookclub

Well, I wasn't expecting to bump into Stephen Graham on my break in London this evening.

(By 'bump into' I mean 'see' - through a crowd.)

Still cool, mind. Bloke's as cool as a cucumber. #BFIFilmFestival #StephenGraham

I'm a member of a Trade Union and so, when in the area a couple of years ago, I paid a visit to the Orgreave bridge and site.

It's mad to think what went on there in the summer of '84.

For months now I've been putting off painting the house.

Every time I'm off and it's been dry I've been going out on my motorbike instead. (I mean, c'mon, #yolo.)

Anyway, today I've done it. Went with Sandtex 'Chalk Hill'.

Here is a picture:

Funny how your plan of what tattoos you'd have where starts to narrow slightly when you're sat actually having one done. #tattoo #ink 💉🎨

Had a bit of a break in Pompey earlier.

Saw this.

Always a bit shite going back to work after a few days off.

Still, nice day for it. #itsthelittlethings

Perfect day for a Portland - West Bay blast. 👌

Got away from work early tonight.

Home by midnight. Everyone asleep. Time for a cold one and some Early Doors.

To the Regiment!

Got a million jobs that need doing at home...

But it's nice out.

Nights are starting to draw in now.

Lovely, balmy evening for a blast though. 👌
