I occasionally spend up to 10 minutes on the rebounder just before midnight. Probably won't make my personal target of 20k today though as I'm not going out in this shite weather

Oh yes, I've never thought to plug my mandolin through my pedals - that'll give me something to do this afternoon. I anticipate disappointment.

Oh dear, it passed me by that Pete Shelley died in 2018. They were a terrific band, I still have the Spiral Scratch ep.

Headstock, body, and tailpiece must have been designed by different people, possibly in different centuries. Scratch plate looks like an afterthought.

I went to University of Ulster in Coleraine in the 80s & even back then the Heathrow to Aldergrove flight was cheaper than the train plus Larne - Stranraer or Dun Laoghaire - Holyhead ferry.

Double walked and did longest run for months yesterday. Back to staring mournfully out of the window today.
However I will get out in full waterproofs because it works.
