Morning all.
Should you’ll forgive me at the moment, that is going to be a bit fast and light-weight on Arsenal information (what information?). There’s solely so many ‘Hey, I ponder when Martin Zubimendi can be introduced?’ blogs one particular person can write. I’ve talked about during the last couple of days that I’ve been in London, and past spending time on this unimaginable metropolis, there was a really particular purpose for the journey.
So, let me take this chance to ship my congratulations to my buddy and Arseblog colleague Andrew Allen after he acquired married yesterday. I do know he’s a person who performs his many playing cards near his chest, in order to respect his privateness, I received’t go into any particulars, however suffice to say he’s a really fortunate man to have discovered a lovely spouse, and I’d additionally say she is a fortunate woman to have Andrew on her arm.
These of you who know Andrew in even a passing approach will perceive that yesterday was an impeccably trendy day, and it was a privilege to attend the celebration along with his household (new and outdated), and lots of buddies. There was meals, there was wine (numerous wine *boilk*), and a few genuinely good speeches – hats off to the groom himself and his finest man (thanks Nick for the Arseblog plug!).
Was 30C the best climate for a go well with and tie? Most likely not, however that’s essentially the most first world downside I can probably consider. It was a lovely day, in beautiful environment, spent with nice folks, and I’m simply so glad for Andrew. Except for my spouse, he’s in all probability the particular person I converse to most frequently – even when it’s simply to test in that there’s nothing happening that must be coated for Arseblog Information. We contact base every day, roughly. We’ve been working collectively for 14 years, and it’s such an incredible factor to search out somebody who simply understands stuff so effectively.
What we must always cowl, what we shouldn’t, how one can write one thing, how to not write one thing, distinctive transcription expertise, the lot. From day one he has made my life simpler and I don’t take that without any consideration one bit. Typically I’ll get up and see a random story about some stuff I didn’t even know was taking place, with a publishing time of midnight. I don’t ask this of him, it’s simply what he does.
Which is why I wish to state for the file that when he advised me he was bringing his laptop computer on honeymoon I advised him outright he was forbidden to do any work. He’ll greater than seemingly ignore that, however to the beautiful particular person at his facet this morning, I advised him to not … truthfully!
Anyway, in a digital approach, increase a glass or a cup of espresso or no matter you need to hand this morning, to the brand new couple. Benefit from the time away you two, and we’ll cowl the striker signing as and when it occurs!
❤️
