Highly recommend a listen to this. The boy can talk. Highly entertaining. open.spotify.com/episode/1aqg...

Saw that Bod Dylan film. I thought Daniel Stern was very good in the lead role.

Here comes the weekend

A hugely underrated writer open.spotify.com/episode/2Ivd...

"We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing." ~ Hermann Hesse

Proving tricky to break down this Orient wall. It's creaking though. A bit more imagination and we'll be through it.

Starting the working week with a listen to Hergest Ridge. Dunno why.

Flipped FIP on and they are playing Alabaster DePlume. Another reason to be happy.

Have missed our snowdrops since leaving the old house. Didn’t realise until just now we have two varieties of the beautiful little buggers popping up in our new garden. I am bloodywell filled with joy. That last bit might be an exaggeration

Can’t win em all but that was quite frustrating to watch

Some damn good tracks on this open.spotify.com/album/4QHHLK...

Read it and weep. Literally. What a woman. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Unfortunately I have to skip every country song now because I do not have time to look up where each artist stands on controversial subjects like if presidents should obey laws

Having a daily dip into this. It’s lovely.

Used to read Songlines on an app provided by the library, but they’ve changed apps and the new one doesn’t have it. Decided to subscribe and bugger me you get access to every issue going back to 1999. That’ll keep me occupied and happy.

Comedy officiating at the Blues again, but it’s not very funny

✍️ Words: Sam White It heralded one of Colombia's golden footballing eras. But it also brought with it violence, corruption and blood money. This is a snapshot into narco-football in Colombia and the influence of Pablo Escobar. www.footballheritage.co.uk/narcoball

Amazing what you find when walking the pooch......👀 #Malvern #AbbeyHotel #Reggae

The Brothers Hibbitt. Terry was decent at Blues. Exchanged for Stewart Barrowclough as I recall. Not really a fair swap.

Looks like Romelle has made decent start at Brentford creating chances and scoring on his first start #bcfc

Radio 3 decided to change the moid with some awful cacophonous racket, so switched to fip. Fecking yacht rock.

Got radio 3 on while putting the coffee on and they are playing this. Rather beautiful, admittedly, but feck knows how I haven’t opened a vein. Thank Christ it’s not Monday morning open.spotify.com/track/0H3JiN...

It's a valid question ... since 2008 the Conservative Party in coalition with the LibDems gave us austerity ... then after 2015 the Conservative Party gave us austerity and further cuts to public services ... now we voted for change, Keir Starmer's Labour Party have given us nothing but austerity.
