This watch is nothing special. But it was given to me by my late mum & dad on my 18th birthday. It’s now over 40 years old. It’s a bit like Triggers broom. Several new straps & countless new batteries. Once the number 12 fell off. So it’s special to me. II’d like to be buried wearing it.

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

Just heard Farage on Radio 4 opposing a European army - of course Putin's main asset in the UK is opposed to this.

“Faragism is what you get when the established political class seems so bereft of answers that a shameless opportunist is able to swagger into the resulting void, offering his own prejudices as the answer.”

Well that was another fine night of live music at the Brixton Academy. Some serious and vigorous nodding along to Doolittle tracks and loving the maturity of the new album. 8/10 for Pixies.

Once upon a time Town and Country (Club) would mean the venue in Kentish Town where I would see bands play. Now it’s a pop up garden waste bag.

We bought some sparkling red wine (yes I know) from a wine maker in Saumur in the Loire in France last year. And here it is. Ideal with chocolate desserts. Happy birthday to me!

Don’t worry, I’m not drinking already but I have a new opinion! A pint of beer is too big and a half pint too small. We need a glass size in between. Cheers!
