I shortened my walk today, as I’m a bit poorly, but did spot a squirrel, so that’s cool…

Wales has the best national anthem. I will not be taking questions.

It seems I’ve come back from the Queen fan convention with a cold (aka conventionitis). Sigh.

It was a gif of Prince George in his Georgina dress saying “I feel fantastic!” Heaven knows why that’s considered graphic!

You’d have enjoyed the band that played at the Queen convention last night. Almost exclusively RMT solo/The Cross songs.

I now have a drum room, complete with the obligatory Queen-related touches.

Listen to me, Michael, and Ian wax lyrical about Blackadder series 2! This was great fun!

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social · 9d

Here, a little later than usual (due to personal circs) is the latest episode, fittingly titled "Many Apoh-loh-ghies for the Inconwenience".

We also welcome back an old friend of the show, Paul @journopaulb.bsky.social, who waxes lyrical about Blackadder II.

I’m actually re-reading the Time Traveller’s Wife at the minute. Splendid book.

I’m getting this book for my upcoming birthday. Looking forward to reading it.

Bang! 101 Songs About Nuclear War from the 1980s @bangpodcast.bsky.social · Sep 9

My holiday reading has been this. Every page has an "oh really?" moment. Little moments in songs we thought we knew inside out are beautifully revealed. #TrevorHorn has produced another gem here.

Very sad news. My thoughts go out to Sue’s family and loved ones.

A brief but lovely time in Amsterdam. It also included a brief but nice chat with two ladies from Peru. The first time since I started learning two years ago that I’ve spoken Spanish to a native speaker. I’m pleased with how it went.

Stopping off in Amsterdam before I fly home. Love this city.
