Surely number one priority should be a GK, Olsen has gone and Martinez heavily rumoured to be following.

Back at Man v Fat football last night for the first time since my knee injury — felt great to be on the pitch again!
The scales were a wake-up though, so getting back on track starting now

Kicked things off this morning with a walk up Binsey

My daughter wanted to stop at Bassenthwaite for a play by the lake, as we drove past on our way to Lidl yesterday. Being a lovely day I was happy to oblige her. #cumbria #LakeDistrict

Up the F'n Villa!

A huge night awaits for Aston Villa in the French capital - it's the first half of their Champions League quarter-final with PSG. 🇫🇷

Highland coos at Buttermere today. I enjoyed helping at my daughter's sponsored walk with her Scouts group.

The fat lady is in full voice for them unfortunately.

I've been floored by flu all this week, but here's a few pics from Fridays amble around my closest town, Cockermouth. I always appreciate how colourful the town is...and I'm not just talking about it's name! #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #Cockermouth #Colour

This is what I say pretty much every morning 😆

Ah, sorry, I assumed from all your fantastic photos of the area that you lived in Cumbria also. It's not as if Oregon is short on breathtaking scenery however! 🙂

Just a short distance from me in Bothel, it's one of my favourite walks for a bit of peace and quiet. It's a shame you can't get a bit closer to the falls, but the valley is spectacular.

Everything that is wrong with modern football. A club that's already £1B in debt, laying off staff and raising prices, splurging a further 2-3B. All the non-Manc clubs risk fines and point deductions for even slightly going over budget. #againstmodernfootball

One of the kids brought home the class teddy bear, who she has to take out over the weekend and write in his journal for the class to read on Monday. We took him for a walk along the Derwent at Isel. Glorious sunshine. #cumbria #lakedistrict

A walk up Sale Fell and Lothwaite Fell yesterday. It was great to be out again after my knee injury and in the glorious sunshine too. Unfortunately, my knee isn't thanking me for it today. #cumbria #lakedistrict

St Bega's church, Firehouse garden, the Excalibur stone and Bassenthwaite lake. A glorious walk on the shore of the lake.

Just down the road from me, a walk along the Derwent from Isel bridge is a must there also.

Up the Villa!

Whelpo beck and the Howk bobbin mill, Caldbeck. A fun walk through the gorge. #lakedistrict #cumbria

You could just sense the belief and confidence sap away the moment he was introduced

A recent walk up to Scale Force Waterfall, along the path from Buttermere and Crummock. Wow was the path wet, pretty much just walking in a stream all the way. Fun though! #cumbria #lakedistrict

Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumberland.
