Why am I watching YouTube videos of people eating fish and fucking chips????
Is this what passes for entertainment these days????
What the fuck am I doing with my life???

I've been off work a few days and tbh this is a bit high brow for me at this point.
I aspirationally downloaded Giant to try and offset a bit

how do you fuck a chip?

You need the right kind of oil, a high temperature and do it at least twice.

I would use twisty fries and make a kind of sleeve out of them.

They would have to be stake house chips.
Just let them cool down & wipes off any excess salt and vinegar.

I have covid all week and I actually managed to get this week off work.
Plenty of time to go out and buy a few presents if I could leave the house.
At least I am not at work and maybe cooking some chips is a good idea.

First gig in 4 years tonight and I've a bit of a throat on me.

it's doing the rounds; i started coming down with a cold yesterday evening. my wife is on antibiotics for a respiratory tract infection, so i probably caught it off her.

My wife is down with Covid. The littlest child has been sick too but he’s too small to Covid test. I’m testing negative but had a distinctly unwell few days during the week. Regular cold level of stuff - I think the vaccine gave me a blanket of protection. Or I’m going to crash majorly on Christmas Eve.

I have work drinks tonight. Not really looking forward to it. I have an early start tomorrow in my other work.
And I just don't really feel the need to have enforced fun. Last work drinks I went to we all got a 20% raise and swag. That'll be hard to beat.

I was looking at your pics the other day - looks like an outstanding hike, thanks for going up some things I'll absolutely never bother doing so i can get the vibe

Totally worth a pair of feet.

It's almost spiritual when you get that high up and you can survey so much of creation

I never feel more human than when I'm up there. Human in the sense of belonging to the earth.

Arra you should know enough about appropriate footwear by now sir.

You're not wrong

I got the "right" boots - these Italian yokes
And I wore them around here for a day thinking that would break them in
But I think you're moving your feets a whole different way and applying all sorts of dynamic and lateral forces and whatnot when you're climbing/hiking steep slopes
Or that's the best I can come up with

Like it hurts at night, which really pisses me off. Cos I need my Zzzs


Anyways, it'll all work out
Bodies heal etc
