Morning all. It’s Sunday, so it’s a day where anything goes and nothing counts, so I’m going to try this later. It’s definitely worth a punt 😬😂

Happy Megadeth day! Waiting for the new and last ever album of theirs to arrive, but in the meantime, I’m going back to where it all started for me, Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? Killer from start to finish. This album still excites me like the first time I heard it 🥰🤘🏼🎧

I’ve been trying to capture this image for a while. Tonight I think I’ve caught it. This is my front door from the inside, and when a car drives down my street, or parks across from me, with the lights on, this beautiful silhouette is created. I wish it woul

I’m so sorry it’s come to this, and I generally hate “begging” posts but after Christmas, and now that it’s the longest month ever, I need to raise extra funds. Please give generously, and be kind 👀🫣😳😂 xx

This album has been on repeat for the past 2 days. Just beautiful, peaceful and calming. A “no filler” album. A great way to start and end a day. If you haven’t heard it yet, do yourself a favour and buy it. I promise that you won’t regret it. Right, I’m on my nose tired. See you tomorrow ☺️✨

I know it’s sad, but I love this watch SO much. It’s a faithful reproduction of the original and it makes me smile, plus takes me back to a very happy time. I rarely wear a watch, but now I do. It beeps and has a light. Result! Cool 🥰✨ #SimpleThings #Casio #GShock #Childhood #HappyMemories #Digital

Now’t better to warm the cockles of my heart than a couple of sets of new LaBella strings for my main Ibanez and Fender Precision. You can’t beat the excitement, feel, and sound, that fresh strings bring. The simple things, eh? 🥰 #LaBella #Strings #StainlessSteel #Bass #Ibanez #Fender #NewStringsDay

“I hereby christen thee The Clubhouse. May all who record in her, ROCK!” 🤘🏼 It’s official, the sign says so. Thanks ever so much to the wonderful Debbie & Lewis for this awesome present. The studio feels a little more complete because of it. We will indeed “Rock” as well as “Prog” too. Cheers ☺️✨🤘🏼

Well, I’ve failed and succeeded today. I failed to replace the pick guard on my bass as the new one is a tight fit, and needed shaving to make it right. I butchered that job and had to put on the original mirrored plate again. I succeeded in winding myself up a treat. Is that a win? 🫣🥴🤦‍♂️

It’s hauntingly beautiful out there tonight. Uber cold, but calm and peaceful. Just what my busy brain needs. Night all. Keep warm and sleep well 🥶🪾🌕 xx

The obligatory NY selfie, and a cheers to you all. Let’s fucking do it 🤘🏼✨🫡 xx

Last pint of the year in my favourite local pub. Cheers 🥰🍻✨

My body and head scream “no”, but for some reason my ears have fallen deaf to said screams of protestations. The ears win. Cheers 🥴🫣✨🍻

To all who celebrate this time of year, a very Merry Christmas. To all who don’t, Merry Lots of Beer Day. To those who don’t celebrate either, enjoy just another Thursday. Love to you all. May your day be filled with kindness and good memories. Cheers 🖤🎄🍻✨ xx

Aquavit is in the building and Christmas is finally locked and loaded. It’s going to get messy. Thanks so much Mr. Reed for bringing the festive cheer 🫣😂🎄🥃🇮🇸

I just had the most beautiful Policewoman turn up at my house and I may have confessed to things I haven’t done, yet somehow, she still didn’t arrest me FFS! When will the universe cut me a break? It is Christmas after all 👀😂🚨

We’ve set realistic deadlines, we’ve let the process find its own pace & we’ve allowed ourselves to enjoy the creativity/frienddhip. Softly but with purpose. Focussed, honest, but more importantly, a lot more fun than the last 2 albums I’ve had a hand in creating. Never going there again! #darkisles

A MAHOOSIVE congratulations to the new World Champion, Lando Norris. I may have shed a tear of joy. Wow! So happy for him. A huge shout out to Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen for helping make this championship so thrilling. Can I have a beer now? 🏆🏎️🍾 xx

I’ve sought advice from an appropriate adult and now the child in this equation, takes over. I’ll either come out of this having earned my stripes, or retreat into a darkened room rocking back and forth in defeat. I’m going in 💪🏻🫣🥴 #Ibanez #SR1340 #Bass #NutCut #Gstring #Rattle #DIY #Maintenance

Happy 80th Birthday to one of my bass heroes, Roger Glover. A huge influence, an amazing musician, and such a lovely guy. After this photo was taken, we had a pint and a chat in the pub across the road. A memory that will live with me forever. I was a real “Child in Time” in that moment ☺️🤘🏼✨

Morning humans 😺 #StevieTheCat

Childish I know, but nonetheless, still sent it back like this as to not waste the prepaid envelope……. 🤬👹🖕🏼

My word of the day “puffling”. That is all. Morning 👋🏻 🥶☺️

I opened the car from a distance and captured what looks like an arty indie film still. It’s pitch black except for the outdoor glowing washing machines in the background which look like they were auditioning for the new RUSH tour 😂 Moody, epic and dramatic. Night gang 🥶 🌙 ✨ #ImInLoveWithMyCar

The rain has finally stepped aside, allowing the sun to smile again. Trees sway with that quiet, knowing grace, and the first breath of coffee rises like a soft summons. Hello Sunday, let’s hush the noise of the world for a while, and simply be. Morning all. Have a peaceful one ☀️🌳☕️

😂

😂 ☎️

Wishing you a very Happy 50th Birthday, my muchly missed friend. Wherever you are Gog, I hope you have a good one. Raising a glass to you now. Think about you a lot, and will always hope you come home ✨🤘🏼🍻 xx

Happy Retirement Mr. Coverdale. I’ve been a huge fan of your time in Deep Purple, of course Whitesnake & your short journey with Jimmy Page. Stormbringer, Come An’ Get It, 1987 & Walking Into Clarksdale, all hold great importance to me. Thank you. Fare thee well. Cheers 🥂 🙏🏻☺️ youtu.be/GNTRgkd4gB0

A lesson to all who care to listen. A day in the Bridge of Cows with top mates may result in, nay, inevitably result in, situations like this. Happy days. Night all ☺️🤘🏼🍻

The mood is set for Saturday film night. My current fave German beer, the last instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise, lights off, candles lit and here we go. So much better than the cinema. Noice. Cheers 🕯️🎬🍺 xx

A day of sound chasing with my fave bass “Nyx” (Ibanez Prestige SR3500) and the all you need and ridiculous value, Zoom B2 Four. What a sound and combination. I really needed this today ☺️✨🙏🏻

Time for some classic Halloween films, beer and Friday night food. Candles lit and mood set. Cheers all, and have a spectacularly spooky evening 👻🎃🍻xx

Expectations can weigh us down, but even in the darkest moments, light finds a way through. Life isn’t always easy, but it means something, and so do you. Be good, be kind and be true. Keep fighting the good fight. Much love ✨☺️ xx

I love discovering new beers, and the latest discovery is absolutely delicious. Got to love a good German beer. Prost 🍻 🇩🇪 ✨ #Beer #Discovery #Germany #Munich #Spaten #MünchnerHell

A properly amazing day. I woke up super pissed off but as the day progressed, things brightened up brilliantly. A result for the band & an amazing day with the bestest of friends. Genuinely thankful. No matter what life throws at us, it’s always friends & family that makes it all worthwhile ☺️🙏🏻✨ xx

What a crazy day now rounded off by Traitors, strong beer, and a warm cosy little cat. Night all. Sleep well ☺️✨

Some interesting finds today in the deep, dark recesses of Casa Cohen. This must surely be Operation Sort My Shit Out part XLV? It is truly amazing what I’ve kept over the years. Why? 👀🫣😂 PS I’m up for selling these on if anyone is interested. Make me an offer. Cheers ✨

This is simply amazing. I’ve never seen this footage before, and so glad I found it. I really wish I could have seen the band during this era. A special time, and a very special album for me 🥰✨ youtu.be/2p_6W6PDKr0?...

I’m a cat person through and through, but occasionally my head is turned. This lovely dog had that effect on me today. Such a sweet soul, and so charismatic. Drooled like a mutha fecker though. That side eye is hysterical. A good day out ☺️✨🥰

I never need an excuse to play this album, but today, it feels right to listen to my fave KISS album and raise a glass to Ace. Thank you for the music, and safe journey. RIP 🙏🏻✨

A Top of the Pops morning geeking out over bass with a couple of good pals. Four Fender Precision basses from 3 countries of manufacture, from 3 different decades, and all modded with BadAss II bridges. Which one would you choose? 🥰✨ #BBB #Fender #Precision #Bass #BadAss #LoveBass #StoriesToTell

Having a beautiful night rediscovering the brilliance of King Crimson. I love all the iterations, but the 80’s lineup with Adrian Belew is very special. I hope they make it to these shores. These guys are incredible and the way they present the music is simply stunning ☺️🙏✨ youtu.be/ne5oN3ba--k?...

A brilliant evening with these reprobates in The Clubhouse, and the pub. Great company always. Cheers and watch out for Amy ⛈️ ☺️✨

“I don’t care if you’re about to get up human, I still want to sit on the cushion…….” 🙄😼

What a relief……. First doctors appointment in 12 years and thankfully, apart from the things I can’t change about myself, I was given the all clear. Phew! Hopefully I’ll sleep a little better now. Have a good one. Catch you soon 🙏✨

Morning all. Have a great week ahead ☺️✨

I admire knowledge, respect insight, celebrate intelligence, and cherish empathy. I feel compassion for those who lack understanding, and deep concern for those unwilling to see beyond their own view. Be good to one another. Night all. Much love 🙏✨ xx

I had a dream……. 👀😂

Said no one ever……. 👀😂☀️
