God Save the Florrie The T-shirt reminds me of Janice Long. She loved @theflorrie.bsky.social, music and musicians so much. Thanks to @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social for this cool present. And congratulations. Happy wedding anniversary, you two xx

Oshiruko 🥢

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Kaki-furai are back on the menu. Love the fried oysters in Japan 🦪🦪

M&S Welsh cakes from Sal & Jeff for the first time. So delicious. I just can't stop eating them.

Tweetup with @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social. Finally got to meet two of my fave 6 Music Family today. What a wonderful little MAH @maryannehobbs.bsky.social community we have.

Just watched CHILD 44. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was not just a crime thriller. Well-acted but… Why did Tom Hardy have to act with a Russian accent?

It was great to see @ash-1977.bsky.social live after a few years. Nice mix of new, old and fav songs. @burnedaswitches.bsky.social

Fretless bass maestro, Motohiko Hamase 👏👏👏

Jon Spencer with Kendall Wind & Macky Spider Bowman were effortlessly cool tonight. He never disappoint!! The venue was sold out and jam packed. I didn't take much videos/pics at the show. I was trying to enjoy the moment a bit more :)

A new Balenciaga era has arrived. So elegant!! 🖤🤍🖤 No need for a big logo.

Found my lost wallet at my local superstore. What a huge relief!!

Oh, found myself.

Surrender, one of my absolute faves by Cheap Trick.

Cheap Trick at Budokan. 🏁 An absolutely fantastic night of throwback to the 80s/90s! What a way to say goodbye… Thank You for a lifetime of memories.

Cheap Trick at Budokan. The stage for their last show in Japan. Could. Not. Be. More. Excited for the farewell show.

Washington D.C.'s faraquet in Tokyo tonight. Waited a long time. Was well worth the wait. Great crowd and incredible sound. It really doesn’t matter, but I don’t like the term “math rock” that much. There were a lot of intelligence behind their live performance. What a band they were anyway.

Tastes better than the real sweet melon 🍈🍦

Tried to write about surgery... the whole thing had a weird feeling, almost semi-ecstatic (the process, not the build up or ongoing recovery). This pre-operation picture - no shame, not a care in the world even - sums that up. The post is here: acloudablossom.substack.com/p/into-the-v...

A day late birthday cake 🎂🎉

Finally found you 🥃

🧊🍧🍵💚

Cool off and treat myself on a hot summer day like today.

Listening to this album. Dusted off today after too long. Oh my! It's still amazing.

My new barefoot shoes 👣🏃🏻‍♀️

Absolutely unbelievable… Thank you Ozzy. You changed the history of music forever.

They take me back to the late 90s.

A summer dessert 🧊🧊🧊

It's so hot & muggy over here today as well ☀️💦

The Osbourne family

OZZY FOREVER

Unpopular opinion. I'm not interested in the Oasis reunion. At all. Because I was a Blur girlie.

Haneda airport this afternoon. Zunda (crushed edamame beans) shake for the first time.

🍕🍻

I saw toddle as the support act for +/- (Plus/Minus). I didn't like the Japanese band that much, but using "Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers Pts. 2 & 3" as their entrance music was pretty cool.

@plusminusnyc.bsky.social So glad I got to hear "Calling off the Rescue" live which is my fave song of theirs. It's been eight long years since they last toured Japan. They doesn't perform too often in Japan. So this Wednesday night is last chance to see them. They are an amazing live band.

I am SO happy you are back @maryannehobbs.bsky.social. We've bloody missed you.

Every once in a while I think about why Japanese music fans cover their own face with a sticker when they take a pic with a celebrity? ✌️😎
