A good quality tin opener.

Had my old one for about 20 years. Struggled opening every can I've ever needed to open. Finally bit the bullet the other day and bought a new one. BOOM! Was in a tin of chickpeas in matter of seconds with a clean removal this evening.

Staying in Athens and ticking off a bucket list item - visiting the Acropolis / Parthenon and standing in awe of these incredible structures that have stood for thousands of years.

Splendid. I love Athens. Did it once by hiring a cabbie almost as old as the structures and taken everywhere, including a lap of the original Olympic stadium against my youngest (which was closed, but said old boy managed to get us in).

Enjoy.

Bagging tickets to take my nephew to watch Saints at Wembley (even though he's more excited to see Haaland than watch Saints 🫤)

Watching someone run for a train or bus…. and miss it 

When you’re on a plane and you hear “cabin crew that’s boarding complete” and you have an empty seat or two next to you

Very nice.

Of course, you could have just taken some wood out to the garden and set fire to it, also for that traditional Viking feel. 🙂
