Are You Being Preserved?

Remember when Jimmy Sav*le was on Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes as Ziggy Stardust?

Trumpty admits he’s finding it difficult to deal with Ukraine. Like we hadn’t noticed. Stupid orange quim.

If any good comes out of this, I think Trump has just given a big boost to Britain’s chances of rejoining the EU, and fucked the Tories & Reform up the clacker with a pineapple.

Funny how it goes all peaks and troughs here. From Piccadilly Circus to a tumbleweed ghost town within a heartbeat.

Happy Idealised Version of Reality day, everyone. #Hallmark

Got to love Amazon tracking. Always useful to know that your order has been but one stop away. For the last three hours.

Dolls and clowns are NOT scary. Grow up.

Every now and then I remember that my oh-so straight and conservative dad was rather fond of Sham 69. And it’s easy to see why. Great songs, played brilliantly and one of the all time greatest frontmen. Blimey, I’ve just realised I’m rather fond, too! #Sham69 #JimmyPursey

#BrianMurphy, what a lovely actor. No doubt proud and happy to be known for his most famous roles, but great to read all the obits detailing his career. I loved him as Neville in The Catherine Tate Show, frequenting Irene and Vernon’s burger van for his double cheese. Settle up on Friday.

Off to the grand unveiling of my town’s lovely new mosaic, coordinated by a local artist (I contribute dog paw prints). I hope the local graffiti ‘artists’ stay away.

I treated myself to a new smelly yesterday - Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu. Bloody hell, it’s strong, even for an EDP. Lovely stuff, woody and leathery.

I need help in tracking down an animation - late 80s/early 90s and possibly part of the Channel 4 4mations series. It was mainly black and white and featured a malevolent force or figure, coveting a little girl’s red balloon. YouTube is usually pretty good with this stuff but it’s yielding nowt.

Sorry to over-share, but I just had a cracking piss — quite a thing at my advancing age. Simple pleasures.

Melvyn Bragg getting very impatient and arsey in his old age! Love it. #InOurTime #Radio4

I firmly believe that a big mug of tea and a couple of rounds of toast and jam make a totally acceptable dessert.

And just like that, it’s now perfectly okay to make nazi salutes in public. Who’d have thought it would escalate so swiftly. Horrific. I’m glad my parents aren’t here to witness this.

A hint of spring, lightening my mood. Doesn’t take much to make me happy, it’s just that it seldom happens.
