That's amazing. Well done to him and Lisa. Another trophy shelf is required.

If you like hugs, Craig, I am sending you one with an extra dose of oxytocin. Good luck. 💙

Or indeed in the UK... and you just have to learn it's colour not color, Autumn not Fall, you would soon get the hang of it.😊

Are you listening to the Alan Parsons Project? 🤷‍♂️

Thank you all. It was a lovely afternoon and meal between my and my husband's birthday, and we are now back on the train to Kent.

Good luck. I have one soon, so now I know the routine. 💙

That's why I have just ordered from the US small micro dose of lithium orate tablets for brain health, apparently a dementia preventative.

Nick @nick50.bsky.social · 2d

Good morning, Craig. I hope you have a relaxing one after your mooch to London yesterday. To be fair, in regards to your post, yes, you still would die, but if lucky, 10 years later, then would otherwise be expected. 😊

You usually get 2.5 hrs even in busy London venues.

Gerry Rafferty - Get It Right Next Time (HQ/lyrics)

Nick @nick50.bsky.social · 3d

It's a novelty to amuse the tourists and stop the band from getting bored. 😀

They do something in tune with the season, so ghostbusters for Halloween. For instance, last month, they might have played 'September' by Earth, Wind & Fire. 😀

Get It Right Next Time
Gerry Rafferty (1979)

There were 3 singles released from the 'Night Owl' album, and all appear on the chart. This one reached no 20 in the UK, no 15 in the US and my favourite from the album. Nice video..

I had wondered if you were okay 😊
The working week is now over, so be relaxed and have fun.

It's nice to be reading about a few recent developments in technology & health. In 2026, expect sodium batteries to replace Lithium. At the same time, expect studies to show that a small micro dose of Lithium orate in water improves mental health, cuts suicide & potentially lowers dementia cases.

If you otherwise sleep well Craig you should be okay and not too tired later. Only about a month back it would have been light at that time. It is just it is so dark now and that makes it feel worse.

Nick @nick50.bsky.social · 5d

That's horrible but at least you had another pair that you can still see through well to carry you through to the opticians appointment. 💙

There are several A cappella tracks on my chart, although on this, there is instrumentation toward the end. This was their last charted hit right in the middle of Punk & Disco.
