I'm very much thinking that after the week I've had it's time to get out the weighted blanket.

You only need this one.

Ok, I've finally worked out what my New Year's resolution is going to be. I'm going to leave more reviews for good, small, independent businesses I've used... oh, and I may try and eat a little less from Chic O Land. Simple.

Has he been?

We’re ending the year with something a bit special… @tomoliverscider.bsky.social is joining us for the final @chesterciderclub.bsky.social of 2025 on 10th December.

No tickets. No subs. No fuss.
Just turn up, buy what you fancy, and enjoy cider with one of the most respected makers on the planet.

I'm not normally awake at 7am. I'm not sure I like it 😔

Absolutely love The Shatner!

My first birthday message this year... from a pension provider 😭

Two idiots getting absolutely soaked in late August rain whilst rambling up Nab Scar in the Lake District.

Knobbing about in the Lake District with my best mate, in the pouring rain.

As a wise man once told me "If we didn't have the rain we wouldn't have The Lakes"

I'm currently sat in my garden, sipping a beer and trolling a tiny US marketing agency (who claim to be "worldwide leaders in marketing") that spammed our Clder Club Insta page... all because we have more followers than them and I need to amuse myself now and again.

Finished work for the weekend, so settling down to watch @manmademoon.bsky.social 's Moon (for the 1st time 😮) whilst enjoying a lovely bottle of @templecider.bsky.social Coat Jersey 2021 😍.

If my evil plans come to fruition, I'm VERY much looking forward to @chesterciderclub.bsky.social tomorrow night.

And then a stark reminder of the world we live in today...

It's just so beautiful and serene

I'm sat, sipping a beautifully chilled Grüner Veltliner on a sun lit strasse in Salzburg with my wife... and life feels good.

It was stunning, and I feel utterly honoured to have shared it with you.

Looks like Paddington is working the bar 😂

A customer walks in and says "I get that you have 'a few' ciders, but do you know anything about cider? I need some help."

Me... *I got this*

After the day I've had, I'm going home, turning on the XBox and shooting some mother fucking zombies square in the face.

Today, I've been pulling together some info & old e-mails about the building of Chester Market for a student doing a dissertation on the effects of gentrification. Looking through all the comms & seeing how traders were treated, misled & generally bullied is heartbreaking.

Glad to be out of it.😢

Network Q RAC Rally - Stage 1 - Tatton Park - Long gear - 2:26.7 YouTube video by kurtis2221

Just got back from an afternoon walking round Tatton Park... couldn't help thinking of the hours I 'wasted' in my final year of Uni trying to beat Tim on the Tatton stage of Network Q RAC Rally.

Last night, Lisa just left me snoring on the sofa. I didn't wake up until Floz decided to try and lick my eye at about half 5 in the morning.

Day 3 of our jollies: To hot tub or not to hot tub... that is the question.

Last night's Eric Bordelet + hot tub action turned me into a big, snoring blob on the sofa.
