Agree with this from Chris Wilder. It’s not just the big decisions that go against you, it’s that it sometimes feels like you are not actually allowed to even challenge for the ball in the Premier League.

⚽️ so disappointed to see Zaroury leave. He improved on Odobert last night. At least he got that rendition at the Etihad. Roberts also much better than a dreaful Vitinho, also away.
Little point looking for logic.

🏃♂️I’ll be racing at the Great North Run in September.
Disappointed at not getting through the ballot in 2023, buying a race membership guarantees entry for each of the following three years.

🐕 In our mission towards net zero, we have invented an energy free dishwashing technique. Little Fearghus will even climb in to ensure the quality of clean to the reverse surface.

🚉 Headed into Manchester on Sunday for a fire safety world catch-up with Anthony and Craig.
This amazing view down to the tracks and river below opened up, as I approached Manchester Victoria station.

Agree completely with this from Tony Scholes at Up the Clarets. Though we should have won, I was very disappointed in the actual performance.

⚽️ There is no point to a video referee system, that simply takes mistakes on the fields and amplifies them.
The technology is great, but so long as the people sat behing it are drawn from the same cohort of people making the mistakes on the pitch, I’d rather live with the on-field bias.
I’m out.

⚽️ At Turf Moor feeling pensive ahead of what feels like one of the defining games of the season. For me, if this is not must win - and I think it is, then absolutely do not lose.

🧗♂️ Bouldering at Onyx Climbing in Blackburn tonight, had the wall to myself. Short video of me on a V2 on the overhang:
V3 is about my limit at the moment
Climbing with too much weight

🐕 Mustang invading my timeline for the second time in a week.
Here he is in a t-shirt to protect a really nasty wound that the emergency vet has just stapled up.

🧗♂️Checked out the new Onyx bouldering wall in Blackburn tonight.
Ace wall, friendly team, I can get there and back on about 15% of a battery, in half the time, and the coffee was grand too. Just a shame I had to close my eyes at the road signs on the drive in.

🐕 Mustang does not make it into my site very often, as he’s usually busy just being old and sleeping these days.
Here is yesterday, posing in front of Burnley bus depot in Disraeli Park.

💭 I wrote last night in my 2023 Review about excluding more social media noise to maintain focus on my actual goals. Since then I’ve: - Deactivated Instagram & Threads - Blocked LinkedIn so that I can only use it on work hardware - Blocked Facebook so that I can use it only sparsely on my Chromebook ⏭️

🧑💻A preview of my theme redesign, dark and light modes in desktop view. Just the small matter of templating it into Hugo to learn now.
I’m hoping to be able to identify the first image to lift into the hero section, if so the design will evolve a little yet.

🧑💻 A while back, probably around micro.camp, I stumbled across @mandaris’ series on building the Labarnum theme here. I’m currently reading my way through from bottom to top to try to get my head around building themes locally in Hugo for micro.blog implementation.

🐕 Mr bayLee is not feeling very well today, so he is going to see the vet this afternoon with a sore neck.
Here he is under his blanket with his mini-me Fearghus, who has recovered well from his own ✂️procedure two weeks ago.

⚽️ Mike Tresor in for Jacob Bruun Larsen the only change from the Burnley team that beat Fulham on Saturday. Well deserved.

🧗♂️ There is a new bouldering wall that opened in the dark place beyond Oswaldthwistle that we do not speak of. I want to try it out this week, but need to avoid looking at any road signs on the drive in.
