Fop, likes ideas, food, beer, books, and Sunderland AFC. Doesn't like fascists, bigots, bullies, or celery.
Bloody Spotify. I was already going to take my business elsewhere, but this has really made my mind up.

I will never forgive David Moyes for his catastrophic time as #SAFC manager, but he he slightly redeemed himself with his sage advice on Tunnocks. If you can find the toasted coconut ones or dark chocolate ones, even better.

Next one in a neverending sequence of bad gig photos. Wet Leg at the O2 in Glasgow last night. Fortunately they were way better than my photography might suggest.

Plenty of availability in my photography contract calendar still. 🤣

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Today's pie at Men's Pie Club was a cassoulet pie, with duck, sausage, and pork belly. Fancy I know, but I had a tin of confit duck in the cupboard. I mean, who hasn't? 🙄🤣

Two of many bad concert photos I've taken. Patti Smith last night at l'Olympia in Paris. A fabulous gig made all the better for Parisians' reverence and adoration for Patti.

I can't see this being high in the final rankings, but it's definitely one of my top five. Loved this album then and still play it now.

I've remembered to decant my blackcurrant vodka. I've forgotten in previous years and I've ended up with a sloppy vodka jelly.

Today's recipe is a beetroot and caramelised red onion tarte tatin. It really benefits from being served with goats cheese on the top.

Some beautiful fungi have appeared in the garden. I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to eat any I find.

And here's the original. Roger was quite the repeat offender (I don't mean about his navel preference - which might have been an early way to avoid unwanted pregnancies), so he was declared an outlaw. It's not clear that he was ever caught.

Peasant notions of utopia, such as the Land of Cockaigne, are fascinating. This is a land beyond the Ocean (described in the mid 16th century).

Post a meme made by you.

Obviously the relentless genius of AI produced the picture, hence her weird hand and bent stem on her glass.

I rest my case. Herd and shoal should do it. Add flock if needs be. The rest are completely and utterly redundant. And frequently shit.
