Slow Time Monday

After a weekend in London and the emotional highs and lows of Posh's win at Wembley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy today has been a quiet day. I took the opportunity to listen to Berlin by Lou Reed for the first time all the way through.

I'd recommend that you do the same if you haven't already. It is a masterpiece.

Hanging on in quiet desperation

It may not be pretty but bloody minded desperation and a refusal to let others push me out seems to have worked.I still have a job. And in a region where we'll paid secure jobs for men in their early fifties are rarer than a cup winning team that's not a bad result.
