More 5 match series please.

Somewhere I have photos of my puffy and bruised hands at the end of the first Ashes test in 2009 having clapped furiously at every ball that wasn’t a wicket for what felt like many many hours 🏏

Bloody hell. A month and a half of 5 day matches, and on the last morning it’s *this* exciting.
Test cricket it magnificent glorious bonkers.

Well The Hundred starts tomorrow.

10:50 was not the right choice of when to take my blood pressure this morning. I’ll stick a little note for the GP to explain the spike I think.

Right then #ENGvIND, it’s my birthday and we’ve changed our plans to stay in and watch however long this is going to take 🏏

Listen up cricket, I’m meant to be doing things to lower my blood pressure. You aren’t helping #ENGvIND 🏏

And the raising of employer NI contributions in the same budget means that Universities will have less money next year despite the fees rise. Students worse off and Universities worse off.

I don’t go often but even I noticed how completely different the defending looked.

It was a hoot (I’m such a hypocrite).
Amusing to see Van Hooijdonk still not able to score at Carrow Road.

Pre match football fan noises through my lounge windows are not acceptable at this end of August. Please go home and come back after the Bank Holiday as is right and proper.

Because the one thing you never ever hear at major sporting events in Wales is the crowd singing the national anthem...
It's the best anthem. Everyone knows it. Especially the English who have to sing about a man in a sparkly hat being saved by an imaginary man in the sky so he can crush the Scots.

Poets Day, every Friday.

A framed print on my wall of a painting of the iconic Emley Moor transmitter with the words ‘Made in Yorkshire’ underneath. Emley Moor is the landmark that tells us we’re home.

Happy Yorkshire day!

A pic of an article about the Veganism Past Present and Future exhibition in Birmingham. Key passage reads “Significant contributors, Dr Matthew Melsa from the Open University and Kate Stewart from the University of East Anglia, shaped the archival content on display in the show.”

“Dr” Matthew Melsa and plain old Kate Stewart.
This still happens so often. At least I got a mention though - he still gets sole credit for joint stuff way too often 🙄

Your gold standard failed Tory cut out the middle man and went straight to New Labour from the get go.

Unacceptable. I hope you told them you’d be shopping at John Lewis in future.

A cooling wire with 12 freshly baked wholemeal bagels.

Bored of toast. Made bagels instead.

A crowd gathered in front of Norwich City hall for the Pride march. Visible are a placard saying ‘Pride is Protest’, one saying ‘Love is a human right’ and several pride flags.

Rain just about holding off for Norwich Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Loving the trumpeter’s blast of Gary Numan for Brydon Carse #ENGvIND 🏏

A screenshot of an email from the grocery delivery. It reads “Substituted items. Sorry but the following had to be substituted: 1 x Ocado unwaxed lemons 5 per pack with 1 x M&S unwaxed lemons 4 per pack”

Middle class problems.
That extra lemon MATTERED dammit.

Balls to that. I want to catch up. I’ve only got 4.

Open University academics can apply for a fee waiver for one module a year. He’s worked there for 2 BAs worth of freebies 🙂

Open University results day: my partner now has 5 degrees. Just greedy really.

The open door of a treehouse looking inside. There are a coupe of rugs on the floor, the end of a double bed, and bunting hanging from the ceiling.

Weekend in a treehouse. Just the ticket.

And yet…so many new male followers who just can’t seem to locate another fella to follow.

The toxic pasty fumes at Temple Meads must be a right massive bastard earner.

7 months in, so I’ve done quite well, the new car picked up its first door ding at work today. When I parked it this morning I did think it looked like the kind of twatty car a door dinger would drive. But it’s graduation week so I was just grateful to get a spot.
Trust your instincts kids.

A University of Wales PhD gown and mortarbord hanging in my office. The gown is crimson with linings of red shot with yellow (basically shiny orange. On the table in front of the gown is a black velvet mortarboard.

Gown me up
