    Sat of the bench myself at the moment. First time in 10 years so quite nice to have some time to myself.
    Bleeding great isn't it really. I had an embarrassing amount of time off this year, you've just got to budget for it

    My contract comes up for renewal at the end of October, and I've been keeping an eye out for suitable contracts nearer home (Devon), e.g. Bristol or even Reading. But nothing much so far.
