🫡 Say no more ❤️

Just immense! I’m hooked, although I fear I’ve started at the top and may not find every match lives up to this one 😂

What better way to spend Sunday ❤️⚽️❤️

Imagine trying this hard to understand what the strange hairless apes are saying to you, when your brain is just one small scoop of mashed potato 💚

There are two wolves inside of you. One runs marathons. The other has been in this chair since one o’clock and has one more rugby game yet to watch.

I love that my lazy arse has been in front of a TV since 1 o’clock 😂

France Springboks next. A super SUPER Saturday.

My poor conflicted mother, who has competed for both Scotland and New Zealand 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ And she’s sat here yelling at the Arsenal Sunderland match while I settle for the laptop.

I'm sat here, an only somewhat lapsed Kiwi, admittedly wearing an England shirt, really sad for them :( That was an opportunity.

Excited to announce that after 1,257 days, I got Wordle in one 🫡

Welcome to Yamaha...

Welly born and raised (although now live abroad).

Can confirm that no, you don't :(

Mind blowing. Last school's excuse seemed to be "Iffley Road pool is too far away" (1.8km, and they had mini buses).

Remember trekking to Kilbirnie every freaking morning from far-flung corners of Welly for ten years? I REMEMBER.

That is heartbreaking. The same thing happens here. I'm always stunned how many people in England can't swim too. UK Gov't even made swimming lessons mandatory in schools, yet my son's last two schools (not current one - they've got a 25m pool and they use it) just... didn't.

From Friday. Halloween at Northmoor Road 🧝‍♀️ 🫡

I think you eat it slowly from the bottle while maintaining eye contact, to establish dominance.

That’s £3 you’d never get back 🤢

I have American friends visiting and they are horrified. HORRIFIED.

House Work

Flashbacks to this, the ultimate housework music 😂 open.spotify.com/track/6VcVJ7...

Eclectic 😂

Now that was a good Halloween. Ten years 👀 🩷🖤

Good morning Corfu.

Not only am I not over how photos from the 90s look like they're from the 60s, but it is, in fact, getting worse.

My son has announced, as he does every time New Zealand plays rugby on TV in his earshot, that he is actually a Kiwi (he is the most English person I know, but he does have the passport)👍

The face you make after making the mistake of taking nine ten year old boys to an Arsenal match when you could’ve been sitting alone in a dark room somewhere 🙃❤️ #coyg

Nearly made the mistake of forgetting these before spending an hour on a bus to the Emirates with nine ten year olds. Literally ran home to fetch them 🫡 #coyg ❤️🤍

I finished The Candy House a few weeks ago, also by Jennifer Egan. Phenomenal.

... it was possible to avoid clashes with existing competitions, because besides the NCAA, swimming doesn't have existing months-long multi-nation leagues like rugby.

Notably, this also required a billionaire to make the league operational, and it failed when he couldn't pay wages anymore.

International Swimming League - Wikipedia

"Setting up a 12-team global competition in three months appears unrealistic." I'm sad they neglected to add a dramatic "..." after "appears."

A somewhat similar idea worked briefly in swimming (failed due to Ukrainian funding + war): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...

With that said...

With a brief trip to the Emirates in the middle (Reddit match thread to the rescue), sames.
