morning, I hope all is well. All good here, apart from my bruised leg. I actually fell down (sober) into a weird trench thing last week, ruined my fave trouser, cut my hand, cut my leg and have a bruise the size of a small village all down my leg and across my knee. The odd thing about it all is that the bruise only really reveals itself after cold water swimming when my skin goes a lobster pink colour, and the bruise goes a dark black brown. Nice. Please do not ask for pictures.

In other news I have made a new daft tee. A few weeks ago I was watching the incredible six part documentary Light And Magic, all about the history and development of Industrial Light And Magic. Basically they were a ramshackle bunch of talented geeks who, under the enthusiastic conducting of George Lucas, ended up making all the SFX for Star Wars using rubber bands, Airfix models, wire and cheese. I think it's in episode two of the documentary that there's a great behind the scenes photos of all the super geeks celebrating the fact that they had made The Empire Strikes Back. In the photo one of them is wearing a tee shirt that states "Get Thy Sh*t together". The instant I saw it I told myself "I must have a Get Thy Sh*t Together tee shirt". So I found an original late 1970s one, and have remade it identically. That's basically it. VERY LIMITED INDEED!!!! So, I suggest you Get Thy Sh*t Together and buy one ASAP. All here. 

Sad to hear the passing of footy commentating legend John "Motty" Motson. I actually met him at the Boleyn Ground post match when he drank red wine and never took his sheepskin off. Here he is interviewing a moddy Brian Clough.

My office now badly needs my attention. It has got so bad (boxes, files and LPs on the floor etc) that the door no longer opens or shuts. So that is where I am now headed. I may well post the current stat of non play on my instagram feed.

Thanks for listening as always
