Still waiting for the Great Leap Forward. Music is my main love. Well music, food, the dog, photography, whisky….did I mention food?

Oooh liking the sound of Glass Beams, seems tailor made for a sunny festival afternoon.

Aside from taking the mickey out of the music choices, the NHS were, as ever, fantastic. Going to be a short while before I can walk or drive normally again, but normal isn’t a word I worry about anyway.

Queen and “Who wants to live forever” now….

Sitting in the Urgent Treatment Centre at Basingstoke hospital, which is part of A&E. They are playing Radiohead (fake plastic trees) on the PA. There’s a time and a place….

This looks like fun dinosaur stuff in London lightroom.uk/whats-on/pre...

Lord car insurance is expensive and looking for quotes is depressing. Do I move and save a few quid or stick my head in the sand?

Sigh…my chance to meet @stuartmaconie.bsky.social vanishing over the horizon….

Ok looks like I chose the wrong day to go to London. Wimbledon problems. Wombles on the track again I’ll be bound.

Off into that there London soon. I’ve decided to wear jeans rather than shorts. Not sure if I will regret it but at least Londoners will be spared the sight of my legs.

Caught up with Black Bag this evening, not quite the movie I expected but really enjoyed it. Some cracking tunes by David Holmes on the soundtrack

Postie just bypassed me again so guess I won’t be getting this months @mojomagazine.bsky.social

Quote a record that you found in your parents' collection when you were young Oddly my memory of Children of the Revolution is usually this one. Seek out the version. Of Silver Machine on YouTube if you haven’t already…

A little light rain earlier was lovely. Happy Solstice and longest day everyone. Take care in the heat.

Any other @mojomagazine.bsky.social subscribers not had the latest issue arrive yet? Am still sitting behind my letter box…

Currently trawling through reviews of tower fans…

Early morning Heathrow Terminal 3. Not sure if I am more upset about saying goodbye to my daughter or the eye watering cost of short stay parking.

This time next week - @stuartmaconie.bsky.social on the Beatles with @sian-superman.bsky.social WALTHAMSTOW www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stuart-mac...

I know that you are all a lot more cleverer than me, but I’ve only just become aware this 1968 pop folk gem. I need to learn more about Margo Guryan 😀

So I made some bread yesterday but am still open to suggestions….

Anyone on here into bread making? Is there any particular book/author/chef you could recommend to get going? Cheers

Oh Brian Wilson…😢

Chuff me…signing on isn’t straightforward is it???

This compilation cassette was my way in. First heard when I was teacher training back in the mid 80s, a friend would give me a lift in his mini and he had this tape on repeat. Opened my mind. RIP Sly…
