I snapped a quick shot of a black kite (I think?) with my phone, while on holiday in Japan (on Miyajima Isand)
Beautiful bird

I’m sure yours will feel very cheery very soon 👍🏼

I’m getting our decorations and lights out of the loft this morning.
We will have three small artificial trees up by the end of the weekend, but our main one will be later as we’ll get a real one for the living room.
Grandkids like the outside lights too…so why not 🤷🏼‍♂️

Absolutely, for the very reason you say 👍🏼

Can I introduce all my personalities with
Paul Weller (and you)
Barbara Dickson
Marilyn Manson
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Crass

Is that how you’re supposed to do it?

Err…
How is a vegan diet more expensive?
It literally isn’t.

Weirdly, despite coming from a different country, we used Olly Olly In if you were playing a mass game like hide and seek and you had given up on the stragglers and wanted to end the game to regroup.
No idea why, and I only just remembered it when I read this! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Seen him live many times, going back many many years, and every gig was incredible.
Side gigs too were fantastic, particularly with the Tearaways at the 100 Club and on the Lust for Life tour celebrating Iggy’s seminal album at Social in Hull’s fruit market.

Amazing photo! 👏🏼😍

I skipped that stage tbh.
Went straight from lots of meat and cheese to vegan overnight.
Many years ago and will not go back.
(Took me a while to move from plant based diet to buying no animal products at all but I’m there now)

Looking forward to @nathbrudenell.bsky.social tomorrow Really hoping to get Mick Talbot to sign something for my wife there either before or after (it’s an original draft transcript of Mr Cool’s dream that we bought from Steve White) 🙏

My favourite bottle (which my wife knows, hence her buying me one for my Birthday ☺️)

Weird!

Just brought a bottle of Nikka Yoichi back with me from Japan after having one in a restaurant. Lovely drink

I’m probably too old, but voice notes aren’t for any reason as far as I can see
I certainly wouldn’t listen to one, they seem worse than eventually getting round to listening to v mails!
I might ring the person up and ask why they’d messaged, but that’s about it.
I know…it’s generational I guess 👴🏻

Someone bought me a bottle when I retired…so I was in a good mood with it to start with! 😁
