Album of the Day: Orbital - Orbital 2
Mechanical, repetitive, religious. But still bloody brilliant for buzzing off yer tits before you’ve even had your breakfast.

The current known Mouse Count around the house is two. One was brought in by Dotty a couple of days ago. I think he’s underneath my office desk.
And then a second was delivered by Dotty (who else) in the early hours of Wednesday morning. I was out for the count.
I stumbled downstairs. I saw Dotty keeping watch underneath a Lloyd Loom. I left her to it.
Humane mouse traps have been set. Both cats have been sleeping all day after a night of activity.
I managed to get my shit together. Some planning took place ahead of a Fair City road trip involving the Raleigh electric, plus some more Transpontine trips over the coming weeks.
Attention turned mid-morning to Mayor Making at Sunny Colch Town Hall. They’re a decent bunch. But Mayor Making is just ODD.
I’ve attended once. I can’t be arsed with all the deference, standing up, sitting down, saying secular prayers to bless the borough etc.
I settled for the YT live stream instead. I was the only viewer.
The Councillors were robed up with their stupid fur fancy dress costumes. Silly hats were involved.
Just a normal town / city etc.
I was free over lunchtime for a gym trip. I cycled around the back of the University, managing to avoid the rare break in the rain.
Captain Bermuda Shorts was also making hay, running up Boundary Road in a spectacular pair of orange shorts.
I was kept company during my treadmill session with a Forest Focus podcast. The point was made that we have an “emotionally charged” owner. We need a calmer Head Coach to balance this. I hope Nuno stays.
He’s no Steve Cooper, but he does offer stability.
A swim followed. It was SUPER FAST. I had a lunchtime lane to myself. I made the most of the space and put in a determined effort to duck under 17 minutes for the 40 lengths of freestyle.
I managed this comfortably with 11 seconds to spare.
Work followed into early evening. I tried to avoid all General Election coverage.
No Gods, No Masters etc.
Let the fun and pranks begin, Comrades.
