Oh arse. I was going to send someone a copy of my dissertation for an upcoming podcast. Belatedly realised I don't have a copy because I wrote it on University computers when my laptop died... and never sent myself a copy.

So I arranged to work from home just to save a few bus fares as things are very tight this month... and my internet goes down. Four years I've lived here and it's never gone down before.

35 days between pay-days directly after the most expensive month of the year... this has not gone well.

Most of the Christmas food is now long gone but I'm definitely ok for pickled onions this year.

My life at the moment: I'm in my lovely warm bed and the cat is on my lap... but I need a wee.

I saw a "shooting star" yesterday morning. Before I'd moved to Selsey I'd never seen one but since then I'm up to 4 or 5. Perhaps I just spend more time looking at the sky now.

Reshare if you're a #cis #male #nudist / #naturist who understands that the fight for #freeTheNipple / #toplessEquality is a #genderEquality issue, NOT related to full body #normalizeNudity of genitals (not just nipples, which men are ALREADY allowed to show in public and online) 🙃

Well that's the three big days of eating out of the way. Now we have an awful lot of cheese to get through.

To all the cis male nudists who have your entire chests visible in your profile without having to deal with bluesky labeling it as "sexually explicit nudity": Maybe you could express solidarity with us women who have no such privilege by putting something like this on your topless pics?

Last Friday I went to see #thedamned

I met Clive from Doctor and the Medics!

Is giant Keira Knightley really going to shoot a bearded four-year-old in the head? Or will tiny homunculus Ben Whishaw thwart her aim by firing a miniscule bullet into her knee?

How about some Demis Roussos bursting out of a champagne bottle and flying around on a cork singing?

A new game for December: Gammon-geddon. How many days can you go without hearing or reading some puce crybaby ranting that "your not even aloud to call it Christmas any more".

I didn't write any thank you notes! Sorry @drdiongeorgiou.bsky.social and @alwynturner.bsky.social, you were both great!

Watching the 80s BBC Lion, Witch and Wardrobe to be followed by The Box of Delights.

Correction: This book is undated but the inscription is from 1924. So this is the oldest thing we own.

After various carboot sales and charity shop donations my vinyl collection is looking quite pathetic. Now that I've finally got the turntable working again it may be time to start investing again.

This book is 85 years old. That's nothing in terms of antiquity but I think it's the oldest thing we own now. I had various older items that were left behind to a former life.

I don't call myself a #naturist but I have been known to disport socially in the altogether. I bought this because it was published in the month of my birth.

I'm no expert but I've had a fondness for #DoctorWho since c1977. c1981 I had this book and was part way through when my brother donated it to a jumble sale. Many years later by describing the prologue to @moogthedog.bsky.social he correctly identified the book and I bought a copy.

I'm leading such a decadent life. Yesterday I fancied some pudding so I had a bowl of cornflakes and put sugar on them.

Apparently I was already interested in History when my mum gave me this for Christmas 1983. The latest reference in it is 1980, which wasn't that long ago then but is now a very upsetting 44 years ago.

Another 1979 edition but I got it in early 1982, Sperry Vickers works kids outing gift for the boys. The outing was to see Alladin starring Lorraine Chase, Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths at the King's Theatre Southsea.

#FunnyFolk, 2nd edition 1979. I got this from one of those book catalogues at school c1980. Cover price is 65p but I'm fairly sure I got it for 50p! A collection of humerous folk tales.

Inside cover of my 1979 copy of Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies. My Dad made me read this in 1980 or so and probably takes credit for my love of literature but I actually found it very boring and have never been tempted to read it again.

Due to tiny flat size most of my books are now in the shed so my current #shelfie is a bit limited.

My secret... as a kid I supported Southampton and my favourite player was Steve Moran. I got beaten up a lot at school.

Shortly after seeing the picture of the back of my head.

Three months ago I looked like this... then I saw a photo of the back of my head.

I may have a broken rib at present. I did it trying to look under my bed whilst still on my bed.

I left Twitter for probably very obvious reasons. I gave Threads a try but found it relentlessly negative. Let's see how it goes here.

My first post, better make it something good...erm.. ok.. an old classic... "if Don McLean wrote a song about me I'd cut BOTH my ears off".
