‘By day and night/Fancy electronic dishes are trained on the heavens/They are listening for smudged echoes of the moment of creation/They are listening for the ghost of a chance…’

Nostalgic for the days where in general, and certainly in their first term, you didn’t ‘remove the PM’ - you let them serve the time they were elected for and after had a General Election in which, shockingly, the public would decide who they wanted in that position #politics

Cooking & ‘headphoning’ (copyright @wadeywade.bsky.social) - had to go off Spotify for two fabulous things not on there 1. ‘Darlinghurst Nights’ by The Go Betweens and 2. ‘London Queen Of My Heart’ by Cath Carroll, both gifted to me in ye blogge years by compañeros not on here #music

The girls dug a load of their old fluffies out to take to the charity shop and this one got a wash. Reminds me of when they were small; there was always a rabbit or teddy on the line #HappyDays

Me, my Mum and my notgodmother Katie on Woodbury Common #Devon some time in the early-mid 70s judging by Mum’s outrageous collar and pant suit, and Katie’s green ‘bell bottoms’ #OldFamilyPhotos #70s #KodachromeSlides

Missing those 'polls' they had on the old Twitter. I've had two rums, should I have a third? 1. Of course 2. Of course not 3. I didnae give a shut pal

Lollingdon Hill (above Lollingdon Farm; home of poet John Masefield) close to Aston Tirrold in South Oxfordshire. Taken on today's group walk with @digitalsafaris.bsky.social

Me, Mrs H & the lovely daughters have exercised our democratic rights and are now having the trad. post-vote pint 👍🏻

As I cook with the headphones on Mrs H is watching ‘Give Us A Clue’ with Una Stubbs and Lionel Blair on Talking Pictures TV so naturally I’ve had to do the Humphrey Lyttelton joke

Born 5 May 1942, Ms Tammy Wynette. She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music"; her best-known song was "Stand by Your Man", which she co-wrote. During the early 1970s, Wynette had twenty No. 1 songs on the Billboard Country Chart. She was married 5 times & died aged only 55. #TammyWynette

Scene from a movie almost seen, possibly dreamed

Glen Campbell’s is the only cover of Joni’s ‘Both Sides Now’ I can tolerate, mostly because despite all the strings and so on, his voice is just so soaringly good on it. I can’t believe Sinatra did it, and really wish he hadn’t

Folk-horror on what was otherwise a delightful walk in #RichmondPark today

THE SNOOKER #TheSnooker

The Festival of Britain opened to the public today in 1951, having been officially opened the previous day in a ceremony on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral by George VI in one of his last public appearances. Read here about the 'Tonic to the Nation' www.thehistoryoflondon.co.uk/the-festival...

It was a Sunday, the day before The Look Of Love, The Meaning Of Love and Club Country came out. I was in Oxford at the time and can confirm the weather then was glorious, almost spectral.

Proper lost in translation stuff now occurring on #TheSnooker

Won’t lie to you lads, I’m enjoying #TheSnooker

‘Imagine the 19th century never happened/Just a straight run from Beau Brummell to Bauhaus/Dreams never end/This house believes in skyscrapers’

I forget it can rain. It happens like a reminder of different, better things being possible

How's everyone's rain going? We had very big drops & petrichor, then _

On this day (2nd May) in 1982 at 09:45am BST Virginia Astley recorded churchbells in South Stoke, Oxfordshire as featured on this youtu.be/YfQXfLtsozU?... 💚
