I loathe medleys.
And pre-match entertainment.
Just play the damn game.

Never easy identifying a potential new pillow when you're a front sleeper but its arrival is imminent.
Not been a back sleeper since the mid-90s, while I was a fully committed side sleeper as a kid.
Anticipating the insomnia worsening as I adjust to the new pillow.
I didn't rate Adolescence.
Watched the first two eps and was done. Stephen Graham's a good actor but he's pretty similar in most of what he does. I get that it tackled very important issues and it deserves praise for doing so, but separate to that, was it a great TV show?
No, I don't think so.
17:33hrs
Briefly considered the possibility of a pout before dismissing it.
16:55hrs
Knackered.
Or as my Spanish dad used to pronounce it, 'naked'.
23:43hrs
Very enjoyable gig tonight but the train cancellations all day made the journey there somewhat fraught. Now stuck at Redhill owing to someone on the track. No trains leaving.
I have one banana, a book and the fresh memory of a very fun show tonight.
Could be a long night.
Thameslink's Luke is killing me with both the overfamiliar name shortening AND the exclamation mark.

Just put the mouth retainer in.
'Your Evri courier has delivered your parcel to your shed.'
Er, I don't have a shed.
No surprises with these guys.
The misdelivery is the only department in which they never fail to deliver.
16:45hrs
The early evening pout.
Stress-triggered, I'm sure, by the news that Evri are meant to be delivering a parcel tonight.
My favourite towel is coming to its end.
At its peak, it was a great drier.
Whether patting or rubbing, it never came up short.
A troubled towel succession lies ahead.
Ideally you want to be the towel that follows the towel that followed THE towel.

> I was spoilt in my TV days having a producer and an agent. All I had to do was write the work.
Props to all the acts out there navigating the festival admin on their own.

13:30hrs
Reading through a festival brochure.
Admin hell.
It just takes you away from writing the damn work.
I've not enjoyed any part of this process and I can only imagine doing Edinburgh, the admin and the costs would be far more hellish.
Zero appetite for that now. >

The post-gig porridge ✔
If I'd been able to find the love for a woman that I have for porridge, the family line would not be dying out with me.
21:50hrs
Decent gig, nice room.
Long trek home.
Regardless of the late arrival, determined to get my oats in.
And I do mean the porridge.
Rather awkwardly I have just sold a book on eBay that was given to me, signed, by a very well-known commentator during my years as the creator and presenter of the historical football podcast 'When Shorts Were Short'.
The buyer?
The very same commentator.
Awkward.
It's always heartening when your gig banana fits snuggly into your banana guard.
In unrelated news, currently double-hatted.
Indoors.
00:06hrs
Went early with the day's first EXPLETIVE.
S2 of #TheNightManager was so bad, it was actually good. I thought S1 wasn't up to much and this was no different. Underwhelming writing, some hammy performances but I actually found myself warming to it and surprisingly enjoying it.

An outbreak of muttering, related to the muttering.
2/2: At least I had him agree to wearing the fresh-out-of-the-packet latex overshoe protectors. Ideally you want to see the workmen suggesting the overshoes.
It's a nice gesture.
12:42hrs
1/2: If this workman asks to use the lavatory, I'm going to have to take a look at my tenancy agreement and hope I agreed a break clause.
I could not continue living here.
09:04hrs
First EXPLETIVE of the day.
08:45hrs
Pre-pear excitement building.
08:23hrs
7 days without coffee.
My longest run since I was 6-years-old.
My miserable mood slightly cushioned by the influx of conference pears.
22:58hrs
The post-gig, pre-cereal New York-accented muttering.
