May '91. On the M1 in going to watch Tranmere at Brentford in the play-offs. Blue & white scarf on the back shelf Car pulls up alongside. Bloke gesticulates to me. I wind my window down. "Are you a City fan?", he asks. I reply I'm a Tranmere fan. Good luck he says. It was Alex "Hurricane" Higgins

Great gig last night at the Lexington. It was Tulpa's album launch and they went down a storm. A really impressive band. Excellent support from @skepwax.bsky.social label mates Sassyhiya plus The Early Mornings, who I also enjoyed. Nice to have a brief chat with Amelia & Rob before the gig.

Great gig last night at the Old Cold Store in Nottingham. The return of @allodarlin.bsky.social off the back of releasing a new album. The old and new songs went down equally well in a packed out venue. Let's hope this mini-tour isn't the end of the reunion. 1/3

. @sweepingthenation.bsky.social put on a great gig at Duffy's Bar in Leicester last night headlined by @fortitudevalley.bsky.social with Virginia's Wolves & the Marlinas(pictured) . The latter were great openers. I particularly liked the singer's voice. 1/3

Crosby was a sub in the 2008/9 crunch game at Scunthorpe. Ronnie built a really solid squad that season. I had forgotten about loanee Robbie Burns, though. www.11v11.com/matches/scun...

I quite like the idea but I'd split the county so that Rushcliffe, Gedling and Broxtowe join with the city as Notts South. More likely to get tram extensions & houses built in the right places. Notts North would contain the other local authorities. www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-n...

At the moment I'm going through my diary from 40 years ago & finding some interesting stuff The weekend just gone, on the Saturday I went with the girlfriend to see 1984 at the Odeon in Liverpool which sounds like a good night out On the Friday, though, we went to the Mersey Clipper. An odd choice

Worrying to see several of Tranmere's 4th division relegation rivals have received potentially massive paydays in the FA Cup 3rd round.

I don't usually try this type of photography(long exposure) with a compact camera (Canon G7X). Having a bit of time last night, the 1st is Canning Circus with the building in the background due for demolition. The 2nd is the Market Square with a No. 10 @nct-buses.bsky.social creating the streak
