On the Stereo today- The Doors, L.A. Woman. Back on track… ish June 23rd I’ll be competing again. This time in the US Nationals in Las Vegas.

On the stereo today- The Lemonheads Monday You idiot. Jiu Jitsu, freezing cold. No warm up. Jumped in with the lads for some sparring for 30 minutes. One day, I’ll remember I’m not 27 anymore.

On the stereo today- I’m in a cafe and forgot my headphones so it’s Michael F*cking Bublé. On a Bublé note, I went to watch a 16 piece jazz band last Monday, literally in my local pub.
