Hey! Self praise is no praise. (But actually they are very nice).

In all honesty, it has been around 20 years since I last had a KFC and they have upped their game.

Eating KFC in a Travelodge on the M6. Anyone fancy sharing some gravy?

Something about poke-ing balls

I say just off the M6, actually in the services of the M6

Another Travelodge. Just off the M6.

Heading home from Brighton this morning.

Today my youngest son turns 23 and he's recently got himself a kitten. When I turned 23 my eldest son was 2 months old and I got married to my wife 2 weeks after my birthday.

Holidays are far too short.

Have spent £60 on a butterfly print shirt. Had to take my top off to try it on in a Brighton shop to with no real changing room. So just topless at the back of the shop in front of a mirror.

Exactly. Silver jewellery can be purchased anywhere, but real sparkly items...

No. Nothing suitable for my tastes.

Last full day in Brighton today. Time to explore The Lanes and I've promised the pup* a new tennis ball for his good behaviour.

*actual dog, just in case you needed clarification.

Excellent stuff.

Front cover of Glenn Quigley's book Teacup Promises. A green background has a photo of a full teacup, saucer and teaspoon. The teacup looks like it has been knocked and rea is starting to splash.

Picked up a copy of @glennquigley.bsky.social book Teacup Promises (and a copy of Curse of athe Stag's Eye) from The Queery, in Brighton. Think it was the last copy available. Also came with a free bookmark.

What's a trip to Brighton without a visit to Dave's Comics?

A Brighton princess has lost their sparkle.

Have started to take a photo a day to compileba memory of something that happened that day. It might be a good or a mundane but this is to let me look back and try to remind myself things did happen that day. Sure there are apps for this kind of thing, but creating a folder on my phone is free.

I'm sure it's all consensual and Belfast quite enjoys you in them.

Goooooood morning. Another fine day where I currently am. Hopefully a fine day where you are.

Odd mural in Sidewinder, Brighton.
Two cultural references come to mind: Karnov (you'd need to be growing up in the 80s) or Zangief (you grew up in the 90s).

They're actually the same scents as the Atari ST candles and nothing more than a lazy port.

When you hear so many British pubs close a week and then discover most were using Facebook as their only online presence, you can start to draw a conclusion.

If I win a lot (like a very large amount) on the lottery I'd be happy to. Fingers crossed everyone.

Slightly wet afternoon/evening in Brighton so fish and chips by the sea has been postponed until Tuesday.

We've only been in Brighton a couple of hours and already this one has had numerous men come up and give him attention.

Finally heading to Brighton via the M25. Almost as much fun as the M6.

Thankfully I'm not in Edinburgh today so will be avoiding Storm Floris. Hopefully all those who have neighbours with trampolines stay safe.

Sweet baby Jesús, Generation You Tube will be the real downfall of Britain.

Heading to Brighton tomorrow for a few days, hopefully they'll still have copies on Wednesday
