Finally made it to #arcadeclub in Bury and it was brilliant. Knackered after standing up for 3 hours but an amazing selection of games of all types (I was there for the old school). Pretty much all my faves and some amazing rarities that I'm not sure I've played in the flesh before. #retrogaming

This rascal plonked herself down smack in the middle of where a side street meets Papadiamentis Street in Skiathos Town last night. She was fine, and angling for cuddles and attention. Which she got. #caturday

Amazing weekend kicked off with the James Taylor Quartet live at the Barbican. My front row seat was to the left of the raised Leslie speaker, which meant I couldn't see anything. Bit disappointing. Managed to find a free seat centre middle for the 2nd half though. #jtq #jamestaylorquartet #barbican
