Kae Tempest played the most amazing gig in (well, nearly in) Bologna last night. The audience played their part too.

Oldest daughter moves to Italy for the first half of her year abroad from September. We saw Kae Tempest at Rough Trade in Nottingham last week and now I have the perfect reason to see them again! Padua to Bologna by train is, I recall, doable!

I’m sat in the garden with a beer and listening to Violator by Depeche Mode. It really is a perfect album. Reminds me so much of being 14. Life by Inspiral Carpets up next!

Youngest daughter is so organised that she has colour coded the GCSE revision flashcards that she has made for each subject. Her exam timetable was released today so I made a colour coded table to compliment her flashcards (am a lawyer - I don’t do spreadsheets!). She’ll wow ‘em, I’m sure!

A peaceful first Friday of 2025 - all alone on the top floor of my employer’s office. Belle & Sebastian filling the space (but my first cup of coffee doesn’t taste of washing up, you’ll be pleased to hear!). Happy new year, folks.
