Graduation of 2x lab alumni, seeing another in the audience, some rare good news in the inbox and off tomorrow with the baby boss.

Some Mondays aren’t that bad.

I’m glad I don’t drive very often at this time of day. I’d be doing a long stretch.

Leeds United, ruining the weekend mood since 1919. FFS.

Least England won again. Some run of form.

Mctominay is 45 mins away from never having to buy a pint in Scotland again.

Some stones on the boy to go for that.

I genuinely love my dogs to death but every time they come back from kennels they become feral demons. Who knew a few days incarceration made them forget basic commands like sit.

To busy learning to make shanks.
