My brother dropped off some reading for me. #MikePhillips was always a #rugby player I enjoyed watching, big, aggressive and all the skills. #SiyaKolisi inspirational and top class. #JimmyWilde was a world #boxing champion from my area. Looking forward to getting through these.

Got some CDs in the #charityshop too #TheThe #JohnCale and #JohnLeeHooker

Popped into the #charityshop on the way home. Got some singles. #TheByrds #SpencerDavisGroup #SmallFaces #RollingStones

Back from my #volunteer job. I hobbled down the track with my bad leg to where the old boys were sat. Here he is look, Dr House, was the first comment I got. Gits 😀

Off to my #volunteer #job this morning. The old boys I give a hand to on the allotment have zero sympathy for my bad knee. I’m preparing for four hours of having the piss taken out of me. Great laughs.

Lovely #sky from the back of the house this evening.

Time for a blast of this #record. One of the records that I play often. #ThinLizzy #Jailbreak Turn it up.

Home from #work. Excellent day today. Strapped my iffy knee up and put some fence posts in. Showered, changed and time for a record. #Caravan #InTheLandOfGreyAndPink

On to the next #record before tea. #DavidGilmour #LuckandStrange I’ve played this a lot since it came out.

Perfect Sunday afternoon record. #RobertPlant #SavingGrace

Early start and an early finish at #work today. I’m home, showered, changed and a coffee made. First #record of the afternoon #UriahHeep #SweetFreedom I picked this up from a charity shop. The sleeve is pretty poor but the record is in really good condition.

Last #record for this morning. I remember it being slated a bit when it came out but I’ve always liked #TinMachine #DavidBowie

Time for another #record. An old classic #LedZeppelin #LedZeppelinIII I play this one regularly.

Too wet outside to #work today. I’m going to have some coffee and toast and put a #record on. #LondonTown #Wings

Home from #work, showered, changed, fed and a coffee made. Time for some #music. CDs again today #DeepPurple #InRock Turn it up

I was #walking around the local mountains last November and came across an old #standingstone that I hadn’t seen before. I’ve just been reading an old book on this area and there it is.

Home from #work, showered and changed. Bit of #music before tea. CDs this afternoon. First up #DavidGilmour

Strapped my knee up and went to #work today. It’s sore tonight. I’ve got a record on to take my mind off it. #VenusandMars #Wings

Game on. Cmon Cardiff #Rugby

That’s a shame. Wrong decision. #Cardiff #Rugby

Well that was a bit unexpected after the way the first 15mins of this game was looking. Nice try though. #Cardiff #Rugby

Went to my doctors appointment for my bad knee today. First question was ‘ex rugby player?’ I said yes, he said thought so, I see a lot of dodgy knees around here. X rays due back in a couple of weeks. Time for a #record. #JeffBeck #Truth

Nice cool breeze up in the mountains. A slow gentle #walk for me today. #BannauBrycheiniog #BreconBeacons

After not seeing a cloud in the #sky for five days, there’s a quite dramatic sky at the back of the house tonight. It’s still warm too.

The second day for me to strap my #knee up and go for a stroll. It’s a bit sore but manageable. Two days until my doctors appointment where he will probably tell me to rest it.

My knee feels a bit better today so I’ve strapped it up and I’m going for a little stroll along the lower mountain track for an hour. Sitting about is doing my head in.

Not a cloud in the sky. Sat at the bottom end of the garden in a bit of shade. No rush today. I feel I’m being watched.

Still sat outside around the back of the house. Cooling down now and the #sky looks lovely.

Lovely day again. My bad knee is restricting my #walking and #working but I’m still able to enjoy a #cider, so not all bad.

Lovely start to the day. Tea and toast in the garden. No music yet. I’m soaking up the quiet.

One more CD before tea. #Yes #Relayer I sometimes prefer this album to Close to the Edge.

I’m outside so it’s cd’s at the moment. #Yes #ClosetotheEdge

Sat in the garden getting the sun on my bad knee. #cider

Still can’t work because of my bad knee. I’ve booked an appointment for the doc to take a look at it. Ive got a bit more time for records now though on the bright side. #BacktotheBars #ToddRundgren

MrsEJ is watching the Chelsea Flower Show so I’m in another room with a #record on. #JethroTull #CrestofaKnave

Another day where I can’t work. It’s a chance to read a #book that I haven’t read for years. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury

No #work today so I’ve got some spare time. I found a nice copy of this #book in a charity shop recently. I haven’t read it for years so in I go. #GeorgeOrwell #AnimalFarm

Sad news about Scott Hastings. A great centre. I always enjoyed watching him play.

Time for some music. #RoryGallagher #TheBeatClubSessions Live recordings from a German TV show and Rory is sounding great.

Good win for Cardiff, well deserved. #Rugby

Cardiff will be happy with that first half #rugby

Last few off the old playlist before I have to go out #TomorrowNeverKnows #TheBeatles followed by #Newborn #Elbow I like #GuyGarvey voice. Last one #Think #JamesBrown

#FareweelRegality #RachelUnthankandtheWinterset This one reminds me of Christmas. #FireintheHead#TheTeaParty I haven’t listened to those for a long time. That was great. #SomebodyThere #RobertPlant I’m enjoying this old playlist.

Next on the old playlist #InterstateLoveSong #StoneTemplePilots No1 son played this in a covers band he was in at school. #Jawbone #TheBand love this. #ImBored #IggyPop MrsEJ is giving me a sideways look now.

#LonnieMack #Wham fantastic guitar on this. #LifeIsALongSong #JethroTull followed by #BackattheChickenShack #JimmySmith I usually play albums so I’m enjoying this old playlist.

Next on my old playlist is #TheOldMansBackAgain #ScottWalker then #LookingForaKiss #NewYorkDolls Good fun this.

I’m flicking through and old playlist I put together years ago. What a song #TheKingofRome #JuneTabor is. Followed by #BecksBolero #JeffBeck. This’ll be fun for a couple of hours.

No #work because of my bad knee. I’ve got a doctors appointment next week. I’m no good at resting it so I’ve had a quiet morning shuffling around in the #garden. I’ve tumped up the spud plants. I don’t know if that’s the proper gardening term but that’s what my old man used to call it.

I need to take the car to #work today because I’ve still got a bad knee. I injured it when I was playing rugby years ago. I wonder if it’s something to do with that and age creeping up on me.

Time to play a #record I’ve had for many years but it’s still one of my favourites. I couldn’t guess how many times I’ve listened to it and now, like me, it’s a bit ragged around the edges. #RoryGallagher
