Being able to spend the day in bed with your better half... although Covid being the reason you're both there takes the shine off. Crikey Herm, sorry to hear that and best wishes to you both for a speedy recovery.....

Nothing irrational about this one.
Chrissy Beaumont.
I'm just watching his chat with The Scarf Bergara Wore boys on their podcast and it's brilliant listening to him saying "we" when talking about County and he clearly loves the club.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again, he always seems to go under the radar when many are talking about various County legends, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's among them.
Fantastic player and a fantastic bloke.

Birmingham City's Juninho Bacuna.
I'm watching Brum v West Brom on tv and he's shown some fantastic pieces of skill so far.
I really do think players like that are worth the ticket price, as they entertain and you watch in anticipation whenever they get the ball.
He's a very talented footballer from what I've seen.

Benzema's footballing ability.
(Surprised Mini-Herm yesterday with tickets to watch Real Madrid. I hadn't been able to get 2 seats together when general sale started on Monday so Mini-Herm was up for just filming the stadium on a match day with fans arriving etc. Managed to get tickets later in week though but didn't say. Get off the metro, walked around stadium, filmed the fans. When I saw we were near our gate I asked if he would like to go in... cue messaging his mates and getting 'that's mad' type responses heh. And a 6-0 game with 4 scored in front of us. Yay!)
Anyway, Benzema... a hat-trick in 6 minutes with a stooped 2 yard header which almost saw him collide with the post, a nicely taken second and a lovely overhead for the match ball... thankfully all in front of us. By far the pick of the Madrid players on the day for workrate and effectiveness - actually looking a different level to his teammates, to be frank. A well-deserved standing ovation from the stadium when he was subbed off.
Valladolid hit the post in both halves, the first one at 0-0 was followed by another good chance for them (but shot wide) and the stadium burst into 'wake up!' whistles from the home support. I wanted to shout 'get behind the boys!' but 1. don't have the Spanish and 2. don't have the balls. I've booked myself into lessons and I'll have to organise some Spanish instruction too.

That sounds like a fantastic day to remember, H, nice work in getting those tickets!
Benzema has always been a quality player, but his performances are even more impressive now given that he's 35 years old!

Was on the metro yesterday just a couple of stops south of the stadium about an hour before kick off. Glad you had a great day. The city is amazing. When the Real stadium is finished I am going to take my Spanish father in law to a game there. He used to be a season ticket holder in the 70s and 80s but stopped because the fans were becoming idiots

It is his thirteenth season in which he has scored more than 20 goals for Real Madrid. Incredible performance

Getting back into vinyl. Music has become so disposable, so today's news, tomorrow's fish and chip paper. I missed the event, the effort needed to buy and play vinyl. To listen to a favourite track these days is just a swipe and a tap, but it should be so much more and with vinyl that's exactly what you get - I'm f***ing loving it!

I'm still an avid vinyl collector, gazz.
As is my daughter. It was her 16th birthday last week and she got AM by Arctic Monkeys and Leaders of the Free World by elbow on vinyl. With birthday money she's ordered a re-pressed Pigeon Detectives album and 3 blur albums. It's a joy to see!
I've currently got the new Arlo Parks album and a re-pressed TV Girl album on pre-order

Don't get me wrong, digital has its benefits in terms of being able to take your favourites with you when you're on your travels, but when it comes to listening at home, you get so much more from playing vinyl.
