it’s crazy that shakespeare wrote a play based on the hit 2011 movie gnomeo and juliet

(It’s not a book of fart jokes).

Two things you should know about me:

1) book recommendations are my love language, especially at Christmas.

2) this is a book of fart jokes.

I might be a Hollywood 4, but at 3am at the local kebab spot I’m at least a 7 💅🏽

In trouble with my aunt because I selfishly booked my wedding on the same day Boyzone are playing their ‘final show’ next year.

Sorryboutit (ps Five were always way fitter)

Me on a diet 🥲

Me, in a T-shirt, with 'Pronoun wanker' on it.

Sorry. I couldn't help myself. 😅

A small brown paper package, wrapped with a red ribbon cross and a scattering of shiny gold and silver star stickers.

Wholesome Sundays.

Being scolded for using big words to make people feel inferior and the word I used was qualm? ITS NOT EVEN A BIG WORD READ SOMETHING OTHER THAN FACEBOOK OMG

A sweaty man looks directly into the camera.

Took advantage of the almost-empty gym to go check out the resistance machines and get away from my crutch of the treadmill 😅 this new gym isn’t so scary and we are so back baby.

Everytime I have a cold

2 days: Actually poorly
Roughly 7 weeks: Coughing up goo

A sweaty mid-30s man. Somehow, the slightest hint of physical activity turns him ginger around the face.

The best thing about a home treadmill is that no one has to see me exercise in public until I get back to pretty 😅

don’t let your 30s stop you from being in your 20s

Sweet Caroline. Nonce anthem played at every wedding I've been to

Reminder

Me: *Deep sigh, cracks neck*

Me: *Types a single email*

Me: Well now, I think I deserve a little treat.

For me, books are the perfect entertainment, no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment. I can escape into worlds, learn new things. Reading helps to center me.

Got a bit sidetracked with gaming for a couple of weeks so it’s been a while since I’ve finished any reading. Made up for it by taking these beauts to #centerparcs and enjoying some poetry in the forest, cause y’know… cultured innit

On the one hand, going to gigs where a band plays their best album in full as a 20 year anniversary cash grab seems like a sad and tawdry affair, full of cheap nostalgia and melancholy longing for a time long gone; but on the other hand, banger album goes bang.

My white-hot Glastonbury take is: looks alright, I'd easily find plenty to enjoy if I was going but I'm not and that's fine.

Me when I’m working out regularly:

hey look they really need to clean this mirror at this gym that I go to where I do my work outs at the gym

Me when I’m not working out regularly:

oh you went to the GYM did you?why don’t you tell us MORE about that, jeez is that your WHOLE PERSONALITY then?

A stack of paperback books resting on a mustard yellow armchair. There is a black cushion behind the stack. Some of the books have bookmarks in them. The books are: ‘Hamnet’ by Maggie O’Farrell, ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ by Bernadine Evaristo, ‘The Devil in the Marshalsea’ by Antonia Hodgson, ‘Try This At Home’ by Frank Turner, ‘The Girl with the Louding Voice’ by Abi Daré, ‘Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd’ by Jonas Jonasson, ‘The Confessions of Frannie Langton’ by Sara Collins, ‘We are all Completely Beside Ourselves’ by Karen Joy Fowler

Recently rescued my final box of books from the in-laws’ garage, where we stored our stuff before moving in.

Very excited to finish some of these partially-reads and re-read some of the other ones before I give them a new home at a charity shop somewhere #booksky

The 13th of February is gay Valentines, I don't make the rules.

Next year’s halftime show will be just a jar of mayonnaise with a confederate flag stuck in it.

A coffee shop table, containing a toasted teacake, a cappuccino dusted with chocolate, and a paperback copy of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. The cover art shows two of ‘the stacks’ of caravan/trailers, which are both scaffolded together to make a tower block of dangerous housing for the characters at the start of the novel

Two things I’ve decided today:

1) I don’t get solo coffee book time as much as I’d like anymore.

2) don’t always let #booksky reviews put you off reading or consuming something - not everything creative has to be ‘art’. ‘Entertaining’ is justifiable by itself!

Got my dates for a gig mixed up by about 3 weeks and with travel already paid for, tagged along with some friends to watch this amazing and UTTERLY DUMB show.

I may be becoming something of a Lauren Drew fanboy… loved it!

January was a very "I'm reading books instead of dealing with reality" sort of month.

A book a day keeps the social life away

the difference between

“Looking forward to reading it!”

and

“Looking forward to reading it.”

is vast.
