I think that's the first bit of REM I've had in a few weeks. Crazy dreams but I'll take them.
Spent 3 hours at the hairdressers today, only 45 mins of which was the actual cut. Think I'll try somewhere else next time. Recovering from some dead lifting today and just gonna do some bathroom and kitchen cleaning at pace.

Why is owning a beaver not a blessing?
spoiler
Because the beaver dams it
Beavers are majestic animals that hold a sacred place in the hearts of all Canadians.
Also in French beaver is 'castor', which is where the term castration comes from. Back in the day, the act of castration was performed using beaver teeth, as they were sharp and widely available. So a castrato singer technically means 'one who's voice is created by a beaver'
None of that is true (except for castor meaning beaver) but thanks for reading.

No blessings, just burnin' hellfiya
He'll ig-gnaw your cries and prayers
This Rodent-God is gonna get ya
So I was born a stone's throw from Highbury, the Arsenal home ground in London, and have followed them all my life. I have held a season ticket for decades, and go to games whenever I'm in London (niece gets the ticket the rest of the time).
I find myself in the very strange position of hoping that Spurs do well under Big Ange next season.
Random morning musings while reading The Guardian.
Abandon all plans ye who wake up on this miserable day
Unfortunately by the time I was awake I was already at work. No point calling in sick now.
Life reorganisation is going well.
-Washing on.
-Dishes done
-Bed stripped and changed
-Shopping list made in preparation for a market run
-Bins taken down
One more cup of tea, then time to get stuck into the basement
Good morning folks! I wanted to sleep in but now that the work sleep schedule is a thing, I woke up at 9am :c
Pita makes an amazing bread for a breakfast rap. Dunno why, but it totally works!
