Good morning, hoddlers.

It’s the end of a long week, and your hoddler-in-chief is pretty tired.

Usually on 28 March I like to celebrate Reba McEntire’s birthday. The US singer/actress (who’s starring in a new show) turns 70 today. She spares the special day with Kate Gosselin, Rodrigo Duterte and Vinve Vaughn. What a list!

Normally I find this day a day worth celebrating, but frankly I am just too gosh darn tired to do anything.

It’s too bad Taskmaster Series 19 has not aired yet, because I would love nothing more than to sit on the couch, have a few drinks and watch five comedians make fools of themselves.

Now, I know what you’re saying. “Fitzie, Laugh Out Loud UK is on Amazon Prime!”

I know, dearest hoddlers. I finished it today. I’d give it around a 3.5/5, with the funniest bit coming from Joe Wilkinson (one of the many Taskmaster alums on the inaugural season).

Maybe I’ll throw on some Taskmaster re-runs. Been a while since I’ve seen Series 5.

I don’t have a lot going on for Reba McEntire’s birthday. Maybe I’ll go to a coffee shop. Maybe I’ll pick up a new orchid and possibly a new record.

Your hoddler-in-chief has been shuttling around the Washington metro much of this week. From Home to Navy Yard by way of L’Enfant Plaza. Home to U Street, to McPherson Squre, Farragut West, Farragut North and back and forth and back and forth I go, lured into the Washingtonian underground by the illuminated “M”

And the days hurtle by, the flipping of the calendar’s pages bring us to today, Reba McEntire’s birthday.

All I really want is to sleep and not watch Tottenham Hotspur football (the second part is going pretty well).
