Aspirational shouldn’t mean expensive.

Hope whatever you have come down with passes quickly. 🤞

Yep, if you are gonna start a game, you have to be clear about the rules from the outset! 😁

I know, it's a wonderful style, isn't it...

I keep debating treating myself to a piece from @gailbrodholt.bsky.social for my special birthday, but I am supposed to be banned from buying any more artwork until I have found homes for the pile I have already got! 😁

Ad vent

(I'm too proud of this joke. I may well post this again on December 1st)

Chimney-like vent at street level. The remnants of so many posters are stuck to it that it looks to be made of papier mache

Tron: Arse...👍😁

Interesting that your dreams are layered...

Mine are usually just a series of weird random unconnected sketches, a bit like an episode of Monty Python! 🙂

Pfffttt, it's not a patch on the original...

#2HitTuesdays How ‘bout a 3-hitter…? Bo Donaldaldson and The Heywoods, the Cincinnati pop group, hit it big in 1974 with their version of “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero.” It peaked at #1 on Billboard’s #Top40. The song most Americans know is their version, not the original by Paper Lace. #OneHitWondered

1974 HITS ARCHIVE: Billy, Don’t Be A Hero - Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods (a #1 record--stereo 45)
