Stoked!

Got tix for My Bloody Valentine up in Glasgow with me girlfriend and got a few days to catch up with mukkas there.

Also, first skate in a few weeks and it was proper bo, too.

Fuck aye.

This should be fun, happened upon a video last night telling me how to set up a Raspberry Pi to block ads through all devices on my network using something called Pi-Hole (fnarr)

It’ll be interesting to see what happens but it says it works on apps like You Tube through the telly. I will report back

Looks kinda fun to skate, I’d definitely skate it every once in a while if it was anywhere close to mine.

Just paid a fortune for a ticket to see Kraftwerk next May in a fully seated venue

There will be no emotion displayed, all human impulses suppressed

City Hall? Just been talking to a colleague online who was multitasking, furiously trying to buy tickets whilst we were working.

When was that last gig they did there? He claimed ten years ago, but that can’t be right… can it?!?

GF said she saw them at the Albert Hall years ago, yeah, total static nothingness, but really rad and enjoyable.

sounds about right, I still have the 3D glasses somewhere

If one of them gives in and starts moving a bit they get a huge cheer and a disapproving glance from Ralf

Haha. I think it’s because I had my hair cut, and been wearing a beanie and plain baggy crew sweat at work.

Don’t know where else to post this as it’s bittersweet, and haven’t really posted that much recently due to it.

My mother in law passed away 4 weeks ago today and I haven’t really been feeling the same. The grief has been harder than any I’ve dealt with prior and we weren’t that close. My daughters coming up 2 and has 1 grandparent remaining (my mum) and she’s seen her a hand full of times, both Grandads passed before she was born which has made me quite bitter when I look at my siblings and my nieces and nephews, and my friends, the fact that we are 33/34 and have no one.

One of the accelerating factors in her passing was her health/lifestyle which has encouraged me to start running and I’ve been doing a 5k after work every other day. On Wednesday I hit my best time 27.58 and was stoked. Tonight I’ve just hammered it and done 26.46. Absolutely stoked with the progress in 4 weeks, less stoked with the motivation behind it. This was also in some shit shoes that feel like blocks of wood on my feet. Have just bought some Nike Vomeros that I’m yet to try.

Really sorry to hear about your mother in law but happy to hear it’s motivated you to start running. My chiropractor was telling me that being able to run 5km without a break is a real benchmark in fitness and it puts you in the top 10% of the population, so fair play. And that time is fucking fast.
