This is a weekend to make good on an important promise to myself

It's been another hectic week - at home and at work.

We've got a new bathroom floor, thanks to my mother (Stockport's answer to Linda Barker). It wasn't easy going, but it's done and it looks glorious. Being honest, I did naff all... it's all her handiwork. But I'm goosed.

I promised myself a few months back I'd make a proper effort to turn the telly off in the evening, stick a few records on and unwind.

Of course, that hasn't happened. I've sat there staring at another screen most nights.

This weekend, it's finally time to make good on that promise. No TV, no social media scrolling... some real down time.

I still have vinyl from Christmas I'm yet to open (yes, I'm one of those wannabe 'trendy' types) so I plan to get those spinning, pour myself a Guinness and relax. For the very few interested, I'll start with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Déjà Vu.

I'm in need of a little reflection time.

You'll have seen our extensive coverage of the release of Volume III of the Manchester Arena inquiry report. It was a strange day - closing a dark chapter in our city's history, knowing there will be no real sense of closure for the families of those who lost their lives.

The 22 people killed - and their loved ones - will be in my thoughts this weekend.
