A quiet birthday

I took the week off, so I'll be chilling for the most part. I've got some activity lined up for the week but it's largely related to badminton and nothing fancy.

Yesterday, I turned 32 and spent the day watching football with my friend. I really didn't have much else I wanted to do.

On the plus side, a grossvenor pub close to my house was selling Carlings beer for $2 a pop because of a promo, so it worked out fine for my celebration. I drank a fair few pints while watching the game.

@blanchy may not be happy about yesterday's results but he can take solace in the fact that his team had more ball possession and played a high line. That's what's most important for Spurs these days and well, there's a birthday moral lesson there for me.

The lesson is that no matter what happens in life, Spurs will always live in our shadows because they're our lil brothers. We came from Woolwich and took over their land.

Okay, away from football banter though, I actually had a calm day afterwards. After drinking a fair few pints at grossvenor, I walked around the city center, fed pigeons and then came back to the pub for a few more.

One of my friends that I haven't seen for over seven years came around and we explored the city center. Personally, that's not my thing because I'm genuinely not interested in anything these days but it was nice to get some sun.

The only sad part of the day was that my wife was under the weather and couldn't walk around with us. She actually enjoys exploring the city and would have actually enjoyed the activity.

The weather was kinder than I expected, so I didn't feel the accompanying misery that comes with the cold. Overall, it was a nice an quiet birthday.

Jesus imagine if Arsenal lost. You would have been in the river !!! 😂😂😂 You are only 32 ?? I would have out you down for around 40. You don’t lose hope and come to terms that you are a complete failure until around 37/38 so you are there too early. Myself and @talesfrmthecrypt may travel to Nottingham and slap some sense into you and show you a good time. I’ve been out in Nottingham city centre a few times and it’s the last place you would bring your wife by the way!! 😂😂. I’ve seen swimmers with more clothes on there . You are out of last man standing by the way. Happy birthday ya hobo. I’m glad myself and the pigeons were part of your big day 😉

If you come at summer time, you'll see things that'll excite your swimmers. 😄😄

It doesn't have to be summer in Nottingham for that. It could be -10 and they still would be out with no clothes on!

Oh yeah. Did a postgraduate qualification in Nottingham. Those were some nights out. Then again I lived in South Wales for a time. There are girls there that would eat poor @belemo and his pigeons alive.

Time to get out and enjoy the wilds of Britain my friend. No wonder you're miserable sitting around watching Arsenal play the dullest football this country has seen in decades. Apparently they are using footage of Gooners matches to torture prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. It’s more successful than water boarding

Happy birthday to you 🥳
You thrive 🌟🎉
I hope you did had lots of fun watching football and celebrating your birthday with your favorite set of people.

Lots of beer and watched my team win. Doesn't get any better tbh

Hehehe
I know how exciting that can be honestly
