Good god I hope you’ve all had a better start to the day than me!

Hardly any sleep, and I’m not a morning person even at the best of times, and also my hands don’t generally work right for about half an hour after I wake up.

So naturally I went to get an emergency cuppa, only to find the teabag thing needs refilling. No worries, there’s an unopened box of Yorkshire in the cupboard. But my stupid hands just would not work, I’m stood there sort of ineffectually pawing at the sealed edges of the plastic for about two whole minutes getting increasingly annoyed and swearing at it out loud…and then I realise there’s one of those easy open strip things that you just have to pull.

FML. I’ve never been more grateful for half day Fridays.

“and then I realise there’s one of those easy open strip things that you just have to pull.“

Nothing quite like the realisation you’re being a plonker to start the day! Half day sounds a really good shout to be honest, I might just join you in that.

I can imagine the panic at the sealed, unreachable tea. Not a good start to the day!

Deep breaths. You can do this. It’s almost the weekend.

Because I live the life of an international rock star, this weekend will be spent setting up and configuring a VPS that I personally won’t be benefitting from in any way.

Best elevenses snack is clearly a Tunnocks tea cake.

Ooh seconded! When I was back home last month I was able to procure a dark chocolate variety and am very much looking forward to enjoying them.

My wife booked tickets to see Blur at Wembley this weekend as an early birthday present so pretty stoked about that! The Selecter are supporting which will be pretty awesome as well

I recently saw Pauline Black and Arthur Hendrickson do a four song set as part of Jools Holland’s Big Band. Fantastic energy, got the crowd dancing 😄

I feel like I’d rather see The Selector than Blur… but hey, I get so see neither and you get to see both, so enjoy!

I know it’s a win win - just been told Paul Weller is also supporting so I’ll just have a little nap for that bit 😛

My baby girl’s 30 on Sunday and we’re off to a Sunday pub lunch. Elevenses? A box of Ritz minis with me coffee

We’re rolling into the weekend looking like it’s going to be a busy one, with trips to various farms, ice-cream parlours and riverside walks.

All I want is a 12 hour kip and a greasy meal when I wake from it.

Greasy meal, followed by ice cream?
