8 December 1980, John Lennon was brutally murdered on the steps of the Dakota Building.
I remember it like it was yesterday, mainly because it was the first time I'd ever seen my parents cry. Remembering him today brings my parents back to life.
Rest in peace, John

Emofest at Manchester Academy. Full circle. One of our first dates, too many years to remember, was to see the first iteration of Panic! At The Disco. Good times.

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?
On 2nd attempt, scored tickets for My Chemical Romance in London. Roll on July 2026

I'm heading off for another weekend away. Brighton this time. Plenty of writing time on the trains, which will be nice.
My breakfast at Carlucchios Manchester Piccadilly Station. Yes, it's early for a Bellini, but I need that to cope with over 2 hours on Avanti.

Prestwich Pride cocktail created for me at Panama Hattys in Prestwich. My favourite writing bar. Vodka raspberry liquor, water melon, and guava. It's not as sweet as it sounds. Next stop - writing. Should be interesting!

Had a fun day out today at the seaside with my GF's other GF. Yes, we get on! We went to Margate, had a swim in the Walpole tidal lido, before heading to the Shell Grotto -

40 years ago today, my dad, his 2 friends, and myself had got to Wembley. We found a good spot - about 1/4 of the way back from the stage - and settled down to wait for the music to start. It was a hot day, and the atmosphere was already building for the Global Jukebox. Miss you, dad ❤️

Went to a pottery class last night in Manchester. One off class to make a clay mug. Think mine is possibly too big to be a mug, and I failed with the handle. Of course, I went with skulls for decoration! Gonna be red dip glazed before firing. Can't wait to see the end result.

I cooked this tonight. Although it looks like a large testicle - it isn't. Its pork loin marinated in dark & light soy, ginger, hoisin sauce, spring onions, and Jersey Black Butter Sauce because I ran out of hoisin. 90 minutes in the airfryer. Delicious with some sticky rice.

Umm, in Manchester’s Gay Village. Met my friend, K, earlier, and then headed to the Goose on Bloom Street. Met up with J, who was lovely. We drank a lot. I'm meeting up with her tomorrow for Sparkle Weekend.
