Watched Season 1 of Slow Horses maybe 3 years ago. Really didn't grasp it at the time, hadn't bothered with it since. But after reading about it here & there thought I'd give it another bash.
Loving it now. Better to be late to the party than not be there at all.

Switched off the World Cup Draw. All this nonsense beforehand is unnecessary.

Watched the Ozzy Osbourne Paramount film yesterday. Can't say I'm much of an Ozzy/ Sabbath fan tbh, but the film is very moving indeed and a fine watch. Fella had a tough time of it in his last few years.

Home from seeing Belly play at St. Luke's in Glasgow.
What an enjoyable two hours that was. Been fortunate to catch them on their last 3 UK tours in 2016, 2018 & now, just the best of nights.

It seems the new groups are concerned 😃
I love this footage (that I’ve just seen on Facebook) of Paul (Simonon) with a couple of young Clash fans singing ‘Guns Of Brixton’ ❤️

Today's delivery from Amazon UK - deliverer got out of car, left package at front door, didn't bother to advise me by letterbox or doorbell, ran back to car, & stated 'parcel was left in letterbox' on Amazon (which it wasn't). All captured on Ring doorbell. Customer service nil points.

Yes album from 2021 - The Quest. I'm not well versed in Yes' recorded work over the last 20 years, but given that Amazon were knocking the limited edition deluxe art book+2CD+blu ray audio package out for just over a fiver in their Spring Deals it was worth taking a punt at that price.
