Token 1: Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes: youtu.be/kU8OJAOMbPg?...

Monday May 29, 1854. I closed my eyes as George catalogued the incidents suffered by the vicar. "First it was the frog - they left it on the altar. Then the rotten log, teeming with woodlice it was. Then it was the goat...or was it the offal swarming with flies?" I was warming to this prankster.

A few harmless pranks, sir! Nothing more! If the Reverend Brown doesn't know who's responsible, he can hardly claim to know his congregation at all.

I understand where you might have misinterpreted what he said about composting the cases (I did a double take initially) but I believe he meant they break down completely after 12-14 weeks (after you’ve discarded it or replaced it) not that you have to replace it every 12-14 weeks.

Who's doing what now? I've had my Pela case since 2020. It's going to outlast my phone, and then I'll bury it in the yard and it'll compost.

Sunday May 28, 1854. I would have legged it, but I was in the midst of listening to Annie when the Reverend Brown approached. "George tells me you'll be taking the case," he said, squeezing my hand as if he intended to break every bone. "How excellent!" said Annie, beaming at me.

Saturday May 27, 1854. It's May, yet the weather's still miserable. I spent the morning hours indoors, brooding over how to turn down George's vicar, who's been the brunt of several practical jokes of late. In bad taste they may be, but they're hardly life threatening.

A truly bizarre new case starts today where you can pit your wits against everyone's favourite Victorian boy detective. The clues are there...but will you piece them together before Gooseberry can? Trust me, you have the advantage here! PLEASE: NO SPOILERS though! Just say you've got it figured. 🙏

2/2 I found out today that cats only have 4 toes on their rear feet. This can cause problems when counting. Today's topic is numbers. Big or small we all use them every day. To start you off I'm going to New York with Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street youtu.be/UOg_8hCC4u4?...

It's 11am. Welcome to the Mystery Jukebox 4.0! Kitty's plotted up on the windowsill as it's raining outside. I've plugged in the Jukebox so the valves can warm up and I'm polishing glasses behind the bar. Follow the rules or you'll be barred for 6 days. michaelgallagherwrites.com/the-mystery-...

2/2 It's a topic week and Kitty is looking for flowers. She starts you off with this. Everybody and their mother covered this back in the day and Kitty knew all of them...except this version! Token 1 Svenne & Lotta: I Will Bring You FLOWERS In The Morning What will you add with your two tokens?

I honestly feel like I'm at Death's door at the moment but I will try to run the Mystery Jukebox tomorrow if I can. It's probably 50/50 it will happen. I really hope the Jukebox manages to survive me. I've tried long enough to set it free. Join Kitty and I if you can from 11AM. There are rules!

Two British academics discovered that a "copy" of Magna Carta, held in Harvard Law School’s library for 80 years, is one of seven originals dating from 1300. Read more: nyti.ms/4dkc3ma

1/2 Morning all. It's 11am and I've just picked up Kitty from the airport. She was attending a Conclave in Rome or something. Mystery Juke Box 4.0 is about to start. There are rules. Please follow OR THERE WILL BE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES!! michaelgallagherwrites.com/rules/

2/2 Today is a topic. Some of you may have guessed it from Kitty's attire. In honour of God's new representative on earth, it's religion. Any and all things religious. To start you off it's some gospel from James Bynum - We Are In Need "who will stand for GOD" youtu.be/sfXseLfZwDY?...

48 YEARS AGO TODAY on May 7, 1977, "Hotel California" by The Eagles reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

There’s a petition going around to ban “offensive” flags. But free expression exists to protect the right to yell when things feel broken. #canada #cdnpoli #freespeech Here’s why I think this anti-profanity petition is a terrible fucking idea: youtu.be/klQOUhuXIww

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥
