Heading home after last gig of year. Down at Canterbury with old friend @oliverdouble.bsky.social and three of his lovely students performing their sets. Perfect way to end the year.

The fact that the carriage smells of cheese and skunk is strangely comforting.

A timely reminder that the definition of the word ‘farage’ is the liquid found at the bottom of a waste bin or container.

And yes you can get your public service announcement T Towel at www.markthomasinfo.co.uk/store/
Red and white t towel design. Reading in red, Public Health Warning. Please mind the farage. Beneath is a health and safety logo of a leaking bin. Beneath the logo are the words ‘Farage (noun) [fa-rij] The liquid found at the bottom of a waste bin or container.’

Well that was a gig to finish the tour. Fire alarm lead to evacuation so we stood on the cold for 30 mins mid gig. Lovely person lent me their coat and someone else a scarf as I was in t shirt. Then went back in and finished the show. Thanks to tonight’s lovely audience.

I named the set for Ordinary Decent Criminal "my IKEA Barbara Hepworth", so for the last time it's once more round the metal Babs.
The set to the play, two crowd barriers either side of a prison issue toilet in front of the metal crowd barrier sculpture. Mark selfie in front of metal crowd barriers making an awkward triangular structure draped with a blood stained red cloth.
