By complete coincidence, I just came across this eBay photo, saved to my Mac on February 27, 2022. It was part of the spark for my latest novel, 'End of a Century', giving me the idea for lead character Des's romantic quest to track down the owner of his 1960s suit. www.amazon.co.uk/End-Century-...

Is the totally dogshit UI and connectivity on ITVX a ploy to get me to pay for the premium version? Does it become actually useable when you suscribe? Baffles me that of all the multitudinous streaming platforms, Netflix are the only ones who could come up with a half decent user experience 😖

Been to see me old Ma today. She lives alone, with Einstein the parakeet as her sole companion. I love him for the joy he brings her, but look at his face - stone cold, proper arsehole

Heading out to run errands earlier - I come downstairs in jeans, Breton tee, sambas, worker jacket and a fisherman’s cap. My OH: “Eyup 6 music dad.”

A wholesome day of yomping round Bolton Abbey, followed by a steak pie at the best pub in England (don’t argue - it just is.) Lovely stuff! ❤️

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

At 54 years of age and after 30odd years of driving, this morning I experienced my first high speed blowout on the motorway. Absolutely fucking terrifying, in case you were wondering 😬

Christ on a bike - artistic merits aside, this album just sounds really fucking *good.* It’s making my modest system do things I didn’t previously know it could do - and have I just discovered what people mean when they say “soundstage?!” 🤯

I may be a bit late to this - but the Women Who Rock documentary thing on Sky Arts is really rather splendid; a most enjoyable way to stay up too late

I’ve gone down a yacht rock rabbit hole - although I’m reminded of Donald Fagan’s response when the director of the YR doc called and asked him to sit down to discuss the genre: “Why don’t you go fuck yourself… <click>.” #NowPlaying #YachtOrNacht
