In a sentence: left leaning retired teacher with an allotment and a love of Echo and the Bunnymen.
The sun going down on a lovely Christmas Day. Hope yours was a good one too. Bedtime now, and it's all over for another year 😊

Happy Christmas Eve🎄
A beautiful morning sky here in Cumbria - just hope this red sky in the morning isn't a shepherd's warning....

What's not to love about this! I've always been partial to a slice of Delia's Chocolate Torte for Boxing Day breakfast. Always Nigella's Christmas Morning Muffins on the day itself though 😋

Decided to start at the beginning and listen to all the studio albums in order whilst cleaning, changing beds, baking, etc etc in readiness for the next few days.

Currently listening to this. Long day ahead, but made better by good music!

My first sourdough focaccia, inspired by @[email protected] who posted theirs a couple of days ago.
Thanks!

The cakes; I'm not the best, a bit slapdash and the icing wasn't stiff enough 🙄 (and the square one's a bit burnt.... 😂)

Christmas biscuits 🎄🧑‍🎄💃💃💃
I've also made 2 lots of ice cream, some meringues, iced 2 Christmas cakes and I've got foccacia on the go. And yes, I'm showing off 😂

V sensible for Labour to focus their entire policy strategy on the 8% of voters they’re losing to the right and permanently alienate the 29% they’re losing to the centre/left.
Labour does so badly in this poll mainly because, as the tables show, they lose 29% of their 2024 vote to the Lib Dems and Greens.

Only 8% goes to Reform, just ahead of the 6% to the Cons. Those Lab–Con switchers push the Tories over 20%, despite them losing a quarter of their 2024 vote to Reform.
Westminster Voting Intention:

RFM: 27% (+12)
CON: 21% (-3)
LAB: 18% (-17)
LDM: 15% (+3)
GRN: 13% (+6)

The Bunnymen version?

Have you ever seen their Jools Holland appearance from that year where they had live strings, choir and Ian McCulloch with them? Absolutely epic.

This song was sung at my granddaughter's school carol concert this afternoon. Should get you in the holiday mood! (This was on YouTube and I prefer it with children's voices rather than the original.)

A good read - and it seems, an album in the pipeline!
Will Sergeant recently sat down with the team at BOSS for a deep dive into his iconic Roland and BOSS setup — and how he’s been shaping the sound of post-punk since 1978.
A proper treat for gear heads and Bunnymen fans alike. 🎸🔥.

I've had a productive morning! Made a sourdough loaf (tastes better than it looks), some granola and some jam with my allotment raspberries (didn't think I'd got as many this year, despite it being a good year for fruit, but got 9 jars, so pretty happy).

Whilst Christmas shopping yesterday, decided, on a whim, to get my ear pierced. My daughter says I'm YOLOing 😂. I went for the 'Sideways Eight' earring obviously.....

Am aware my ear looks huge in this pic!

Got this today! 💃💃💃The white vinyl RSD 2023 release. I love this album! I listen to it almost every day atm, and it's much better than Buble or Cliff Richard when putting the Christmas decs up 🎄😂
