So sad to hear about Rick Buckler dying. Another of my teenage idols gone, what an era, what a drummer, what a band. RIP Rick
Condolences to all family, friends, and fans.
We lost another Icon, Rick Buckler, drummer for The Jam.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing.
In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order:

‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

The progress is torturous this year as I don't have the Twitter megaphone anymore.
Can we prove #SpeirGorm that this place might be useful to raise funds for incredible organisations too?

These look great. It’s great to see one to send to someone who is grieving trustword.ie/collections/...
It’s great to acknowledge that we aren’t merry or happy. I chuck cards with those words, and not just the 1st year.
