Today’s Lego how to draw masterpiece is Z Blob in his knight armour.

I made a controversial choice to add colour to what was a b&w line drawing in the original video.

The 8 year vote was split down the middle. It’s either ruined it or made it cooler.

You decide…

It’s the summer holidays, so of course I’m spending my days doing #Lego ‘how to draw’ tutorials.

Was actually quite pleased with this until child 1 informed me with disdain that it isn’t the Dream Hunter, but is in fact the Night Hunter and I had ruined it!

Might need a significant pay rise before trying a Montblanc 🤣

Good to know about the blue ink though!

It’s a winner for sure!

LFC and adidas start 10-year partnership and reveal new home and away kits - Liverpool FC Liverpool FC legends past and present have come together to celebrate the launch of the Reds' eagerly anticipated new home and away kits, designed by new club partner adidas.

It has taken a lot of willpower for
me not to break out the credit card and buy this stunning home kit this morning!

Yes, for sure- I’ve just started using paper notebooks again at work too- I spend too much time staring at a screen as it is!

For sure. Think this is going to be my pen of choice for some time!

A black Lamy fountain pen

I’ve recently begun using a fountain pen for the first time since school.

What a revelation! It’s such a joy to write with- smooth, light and somehow makes my chicken-scratch more legible.

Also it looks great!

Yesterday we saw James Gunn’s #Superman. Boy have the critics got it wrong.

It was so much fun, the kids (8) were out of their seats whooping in excitement & the bold, bright tone were such a pleasant change from Synder’s dire Man of Steel.

Only complaint; the criminal under-use of Wendell Pierce!

Is the twist a massive dose of racism?

Not a bad view for lunch!

I hate #Wordle sometimes…

The slacker’s manifesto: Mastering the dark arts of doing the bare minimum - Monocle The quiet quitters and work-from-homers are doing something wrong to get all of this attention…

Here is a manifesto for a Monday morning that I could get on board with… if only I didn’t have to colour coordinate all my iPhone apps and alphabetise my books first….

Doing my History BA at @swanseauni.bsky.social was a defining 3 years of engaging & meaningful study.

The transferable skills gained like communication & research feed directly into my current role as a safeguarding consultant at a leading children’s charity.

A stouter defence is indeed required

Christian Horner sacked by Red Bull after 20 years as principal at F1 team The Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been sacked by the Formula One team after 20 years at the helm

This is huge! I can barely remember #F1 without #Horner.

But why have #RedBull done this now instead of 17 months ago when all the allegations seemed to make his position untenable?

The car has been poor this year so far, but that doesn’t seem enough.

In fairness the Swans were in the Prem from 2011, so for 7 seasons there was nowhere to get promoted to!

The Swansea City online store is down. Admin has softened the blow by making me laugh 😆

Great work!

#SwanseaCity #Wales

Some great moments, eight tries and yet still some work to do, especially on the restarts.

Still, an enjoyable morning of rugby!

#Lions2025 #BIL #WeGoBeyond

Less than one hour to go till the Lions tour really gets underway!

Cannot wait to see how they look against an Aussie side.

Hopefully a bit more cohesion than there was against Argentina last week.

#BIL #Lions2025 #WeGoBeyond

An entirely reasonable response!

And any other sporting event. The sound of the England band discordantly parping through the Great Escape ad nauseam at international football matches adds further levels of hell to those dark and desperate occasions….

Tall Stories 464: Cardiff Bay Opera House Podcast Episode · The Urbanist · 23/06/2025 · 7m

Fascinating little vignette from #Monocle about Zaha Hadid’s never built Cardiff Opera House to start your morning!

It’s a story of high brow vs low brow, prejudice and politics, and Tesco as life

Sadly not, only so much space to display Lego in the office and it doesn’t extend to minifigs- even if they are mini!

A Lego Speed Champions Williams FW46 F1 car

Just completed my favourite Lego F1 model so far- the Williams FW46.

Having supported the team since the 90s, to finally get a Williams Lego set is epic.

It’s a good looking car too!
