This Fulham v Ipswich game is entertaining stuff. The only thing that could have improved it is Aro Muric in the nets. ⚽️

Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Burnley. Fifteen years unbeaten in our local derby. ⚽️

Smugness has also rocketed exponentially.

A smug faced bearded man shows off his new merino wool polo neck jumper.

I’m wearing the merino wool polo neck jumper I got for Christmas and feel more intelligent just putting it on.

Didn’t have Burnley re-signing 35 year-old Ashley Barnes on my bingo card. Just before our derby game, too. ⚽️

Evocative cleaning music. Blade Runner - Original Score🎶

Currently Reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear 📚I generally read this at the start of a new year.

Making a paneer saag this evening. Strange how my tastes have changed from sphincter puckeringly hot to a spinach based vegetarian dish. 🌱

(Re)downloaded Streaks habit tracker again. I’m full of optimism. 😐

If any film, TV show - or even advert - has a sassy talking dog, consider me fully invested.

Happy New Year everyone. 2025’s aim is to keep the enthusiasm and focus I experience this time every year for longer than two weeks.

My cardio fitness has plummeted since those consecutive illnesses. I’ll get back to where I was again, but it’s surprising just how quickly things can drop off. 🏃🏻

Man Utd are so poor. Not convinced there’s a manager on the planet who can sort them out. ⚽️

I’ve enjoyed ‘Cataract Vision’ in the televised games today.⚽️

Sheff Utd 0-2 Burnley in this top of the table clash. Solid performance against one of the best sides in the Champ. ⚽️

It’s just a jacket on a pole, but from a distance in the mist it seemed like I was going to be slaughtered by a murderous undead child.

A misty path, with a figure lurking ominously. It’s just a jacket on a pole.
