Lawes reflects on his two recent entries in the LAWES Report, how his efforts to secure a mortgage have to be put on hold, how grateful he was to secure a refund, even though it means not seeing one of his favourite bands, and the continued joys of watching wrestling with his partner's son, who has some great insights into the action.

Lawes recently finished reading Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, by Akala. Having taken a few days to collect his thoughts, he has written this review of what he describes as 'an incendiary dissection of the problems affecting modern society.'
Newcastle's defeat to Chelsea set off a tidal wave of panic among the supporters. Lawes examines whether this is necessary, while also talking about Jurgen Klopp's recent difficulties and questioning whether Manchester City are better in de Bruyne's absence. Finally, two sports legends returned to the public eye last night, something that made Lawes very happy indeed.
Lawes talks about the difficulty in attracting readers to his website, while remembering the days when his work achieved overwhelming reactions. He discusses being rejected for a mortgage, and the challenge of completing a university assignment with very little time to do the work.
This chapter focuses on how Lawes and his partner helped a six-year-old with the grief of losing her pet cat, Loki. It also has his partner's son's thoughts on this week's AEW Dynamite, an update on his university issues and the strange search term that will get you to this site.
Lawes' thoughts on Conor McGregor and where he goes after defeat to Dustin Poirier, how Football Manager should add a Director of Football Manager mode, how being silly made him smile and a random film fact that makes him laugh.
Lawes finished reading Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper today, and wanted to write about it because he found it a powerful book, one he feels many people could learn from and one that deserves to be read by as wide an audience as possible.
Chapter Four: Buying A New Laptop, Ongoing Uni Issues, Book Writing and Things I've Enjoyed19/1/2021 A bit of a stressful week this time, with buying a new laptop proving frustrating, and Lawes' issues with funding his university course still unresolved. Despite those major irritations, he has rediscovered his writing fire, while still finding time to enjoy things in life.
Chapter Three: Newcastle United, Steve Bruce, Joelinton, Website Updates and Call the Midwife13/1/2021 Steve Bruce's Newcastle are epitomised by his handling of Joelinton, with defeat at Sheffield United the final straw. The frustration that club makes Lawes feel led to him updating his website, while Call the Midwife also lifted his mood with their wonderful portrayal of someone with Down's syndrome.
Chapter Two: Covid Vaccinations, Self-Isolations, Film Reviews and the Adventures of Svennypoo10/1/2021 Lawes received the Pfizer vaccine yesterday, only to be immediately told to self-isolate upon returning home. At least it meant watching some decent films and spending time with his beautiful kitten.
Lawes' online journals begin with the stresses of university, the irritating aspects of being on-hold over the phone, the positives of home-schooling and the entertainment he has enjoyed this week.
