Morning
I haven't bothered to go for either a pint, or a haircut yet, as I am quite happy to do my own hair for a bit yet (It is actually way shorter than it was pre-lockdown) and I just don't feel the need to drink alcohol before midday.
Need a bit of shopping today, but will leave it until much later to avoid the crowds.
Football today? Probably not.

I cut my hair last night, but then I've been shaving my head for years. I only go to pubs if there's a gig on, and there aren't any gigs, and won't be for the foreseeable future. I do have to nip into town to drop B at work and pick up some vegan supplies from Rice Up and post our some records. I'm already anxious about the amount of other people that will be there.
May watch some footer later, may not, depends on the weather I guess.

Football today? Probably will.
Damp but not actually raining so will walk dogs first.
Slept quite well on the new mattress. I woke feeling as though I'd been beaten with sticks: huge improvement on feeling you've been fired from a cannon.
Had seen (and remembered) last night's Vera so gave that a swerve. Watched episode 2 of HBO's new offering, Perry Mason. Fantastically photographed in 1920s Los Angeles with flashbacks to his war service on the Western Front. I know these outfits have movie-scale budgets but the sheer size of sets and quality of the cast is superb. I know they've done loads more series but we have watched all of Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and GoT and this thing is on a par with those. No punches pulled.
Be Careful Out There!

Pepys diary
The taverns are fair full of gadabouts making merry this eve. And though I may press my face against the window like an urchin at a confectioner’s, I am tempted not by the sweetmeats within. A dram in exchange for the pox is an ill bargain indeed.

Will Shakes;
“Why, sir, for my part I say the gentleman had drunk himself out of his five senses”
Avoiding pubs-Restaurants- town .Mrs S cutting my hair again . Will probably return the favour by cooking her a chicken sate this evening.
Of course I enjoy meeting friends in our local & supping an ale looking at the River Avon however none of us wants to have an hour & half time slot & to wait for 30 of those mins at the bar or to be served. We enjoy meeting up in someone’s garden-girls & guys can meet up - enjoy each others company -barbecue- music-drinks - no time limits-no arseholes - no worries 😉

Not sure if I can link this on my Phone but FC Dallas fans voted Southampton the FC Dallas of the Premiere League.
It’s because Dallas has a great academy but sells their best players just whenever it looks like they could start to be really good

I didn’t vote, now that I am an Austin FC supporter. Also since they let Oscar Pareja go. He’s a damn fine coach.
