Today was good.

Gave the Lensa thing a go

One of the best observations ever

Another nail in my twitter coffin. My account has been locked for selling counterfeit goods... for a tweet mentioning no goods, linking a tweet mentioning no goods (from an "official" account no less)

Still a thrill to hear the windblown cry of red kites outside my window

Inside my head this afternoon

Sigh, feeling social media fatigue in general.

All the twitter drama. Trying to reconnect with people on Mastodon (I have 745 fewer followers here, though I appreciate all 12 of you). The inevitable mismatch in content meaning people get even-more-partial views of your thoughts or feelings about a given topic, breeding misunderstanding and snarkiness.

I've made some wonderful connections via social media but maybe that's coming to an end now? Maybe I slide into a long slow digital hermitage and give up the societies I belonged to?

Maybe I just need to go to bed.

This is a cover of a track by Ásgeir, from an album which totally covers his first record. There is something about that first held note in the chorus (not present in the original) which I just LOVE.

In honour of my firstborn's birthday, the #SigurRos Ágætis byrjun angel baby feels appropriate attire

Happy 11th birthday Torben! 11 years ago you arrived and changed my life forever. I love being your daddy! You are funny, creative and passionate. We love your animations and films, and what an amazing big brother you are to Skye and Annika! Thanks for being an absolute legend - happy birthday dude! 🎂💖

Today was hard to categorise.

⚽
Great that England won by a 4 goals, scoring 6.
Bad that we let in 2, and lost a seemingly typical England-form Maguire.

Great that Wales got a point.
Bad that they didn't show up until the second half.

All told I'm definitely feeling the #WorldCup magic in spite of the bullshit corrupt sportswashing Qatari nightmare.

🎂
Tomorrow is my son's 11th birthday. How did that happen? I'm delighted to get to share my life with such an incredible lad.

🎄
Christmas presents started to arrive today, ordered online as you do. The annual reverse hide and seek begins here...

🎸
Falling asleep to Get Back, probably my 10th run-through since it arrived a year ago. There's something so pleasantly ambient about it, it is a very easy watch. It's a pity similar recordings of other Beatles album sessions don't exist.

🧘‍♂️
And yes. Yoga. I'm gonna go back to yoga. That's a plan now.

I feel seen

Hoot toot

1-0 Bellingham.
2-0 Saka.
3-0 Sterling.

Where are you now, you racist pricks?

#ENGIRN

Hoping to see #England kick #Iran's arse in a couple of hours.

Three reasons:

- Women's rights! The world should be SHOUTING about what's happening to women in Iran right now, it's absolutely grotesque. Solidarity with the women of Iran, and down with the Islamic Republic who the team are playing on behalf of.

- Iran is also deepening its commitment to supplying arms to Russia for their illegal war in Ukraine.

- And you know, I always want England to win.
