Born from an egg on a mountaintop.
Just pressed the button on my Apple Watch that makes my phone bleep and tell me where it is. Perhaps unsurprisingly the cup of coffee, that I was actually looking for, didn’t bleep.

Depressing clothes shopping on my day off. According to Next, you can dress colourfully as a man. As long as you like red. And like Christmas jumpers.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Managed to get my CarPlay connected just at the second Call You and Yours was going to come on.

Was just in Sainburys and they only had three different shades of panettone; basically useless for any kind of accurate colour matching.

Can someone let me know when Bluesky comes back after a major unexplained outage, because I have a great ELO lyric lined up.

You get the feeling if you pushed up on the big button underneath the stage she’d collapse. #totp

It’s actually slightly unnerving watching 1981 totp’s. I have no connection to these songs at all as we were living abroad. And because in 1983 radio airplay didn’t play songs from a year ago, I didn’t ever hear a lot of these songs.

No memory of any of this so I’m guessing this is early eighties when I was living in Sri Lanka. #totp

Hated Showaddywaddy. I think I basically ended the 70s thinking pop music was crap and not for anyone like me. #totp

The whole of my village has been without internet for two days. Watching #totp to stave off the urge to burn an effigy on the village green to appease the openreach gods.
