Anna B Savage and band were superb last night but why is it becoming more common for people to talk loudly, constantly & in large groups at gigs? Why don’t they just stayin the pub or restaurant? I don’t get it. I had to ask two different groups of people near us to pipe down last night…

My first attempt at cold smoking fish; salmon & haddock in this instance. I’ve cured both overnight in salt, sugar, dill & pepper. The salmon has also been soused in whisky.

A stunning walk from Oxenhope to Haworth over the moor today with my friend Clifford & my dog, Beans the whippet. Extremely cold, we saw no other walkers, it was beautiful.

It’s just started snowing here. 30-40cm forecast at our altitude in the South Pennines. My cat Loki has hunkered down in his favourite spot on the dogs bed be the radiator. Our dog Beans the whippet never dares to try & shift him!

I went Christmas shopping in The Piece Hall, Halifax today & treated myself to this. I wonder how many people these days know who it is?

I’ve really enjoyed the BBC4 re runs of winter walks this week. My favourite was @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social tonight. A thoughtful, interesting and entertaining monologue on a walk in one of my favourite bits of the Yorkshire Dales. He’d be very near the top of my fantasy dinner party guests.

I’ve only just realised that ministers special advisers (SPADS) are paid from the public purse (our taxes). How can that be allowed? They’re unelected political appointments paid for by us. Duplicating work done by the civil service. A massive cost saving opportunity I think. Get rid.

For my first post on this platform, I’m choosing to post summat positive, it seems appropriate. I’ve had a great day doing tall peoples jobs to help decorate the church steps at the top of Haworth Main Street with my mate Lesley. “Work In Progress.”
