Friday morning and I started the day with this headline attracting my attention:
I would just like to tell all of the City Jackdaw followers that it was lovely to know you all before the Reptile People came through and enslaved all of humanity.
Keep fighting.
See you on the flip side.
I don’t think I let my Pot Noodle soak for long enough.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Always read the instructions.
See you on the flip side.
I mean, how do snakes even arrange trips like this anyway?
How do they carry their cases? And have they had their vaccssssines?
These questions will play on my mind all day.
Have a great weekend everyone. See you on the flip side.
This morning I went up to the doctors to make an appointment for my son, and there was only me in the queue. (Can a queue of one even be called a queue?)
This has never happened before. I mean never, in the history of me going to the doctors to make an appointment for anyone.
From this I deduced that 1: two thirds of the estate on which I live are dead. And 2: The remaining third had not got up yet.
Cue my best ever least waiting time. There’s always a bonus.
Have a great weekend everybody. I hope your communities are hanging on. (Apart from Jerusalem’s Lot. Those guys are gone.)

Aw, I wanted to park my skateboard there too.
Have a great weekend everybody.
Always obey the Highway Code.
See you on the flip side.
I took this photograph a few weeks ago in my town centre, just before nightfall.
It looks like the circus was in town. It wasn’t. Those gazebo-marquee thingies were put up to encourage people to still use the local cafés when Covid restrictions wouldn’t allow people to sit inside.
We do have a few clowns though.
Hope you all have a great weekend, juggling (😆) any commitments you have.

An Inuit man warms up his wife’s feet in Greenland, 1890s. Or me to my wife when she’s forgot to put the electric blanket on, Manchester, 2020s.
Have a great weekend, everybody. Maybe invest in some warm socks.
See you on the flip side.
I love this photo by Arthur Leipzig of children looking at Christmas toys in 1944. The little girl at the bottom looks like she just can’t stand the allure, I think I’d have to buy her something.
Anyway, have a great weekend everybody, Christmas is a week today.
I hope you get all you wish for. Be careful what you wish for.
See you on the flip side.
The first day after the lockdown and Jen decided to brave Manchester for some Christmas shopping, taking me with her in tow.
I’m not sure if it’s because of the mask I’m wearing but I feel paranoid, as though every shop I go in someone is either looking at, or speaking about, me.
What do you think?
Anyway, have a great weekend everybody. Don’t forget to wash.
See you on the flip side.
I just love walking around my hometown, reading all of the positive signs of encouragement during these difficult times.
Have a great weekend everyone. Try and hang on and
(hopefully)
I’ll see you on the flip side.
