A kestrel at Filey Brigg today, living up to its aka of windhover.

Pleased to catch up with #TOTP 01/02/79 and especially Driver 67 ‘Controller have mercy on me…’

‘Women Protesting Around 1985’ (acrylic on board) by Marjorie Arnfield at the exhibition ‘The Weight Of Being’ at Two Temple Place #LondonExhibitions which I went to yesterday | Painted face on the wall of our local slipthrough which I walked past today #BritishPainting #graffiti

Mrs H continues to issue me Sunday lunch veg cooking challenges: tomorrow, celeriac. But at least we now know where the producers of #DoctorWho found inspiration for the Ood

Mrs H is watching 'Rebecca' on Talking Pictures TV and Mrs Danvers is about to show the second Mrs De Winter Madam's knicker drawer

What a Friday night tune. If you were cruising the clubs of Surrey, Cinderellas Guildford, Chertsey Lock, The Belvedere in Ascot, that one in Camberley I can't remember among others on a Friday in the mid 80s this was enough to make you put your pint of Lamot down and dance. Yes, even me.

Nighty night Bluesky x

I am 60 years old and have been #cooking for 40 but still don't think that's enough rice/pasta/lentils: yet here I am, wrong again

Happy 62nd birthday to the inestimably superb Sir Roddy Frame. I didn't send a card, thought we could send letters #NowPlaying

RIP Gladys Mae West, the Pioneering Black Mathematician Who Helped Lay the Foundation for GPS

Tip-top day-off lunch in Twickenham with Mrs H, availing ourselves of youngest daughter’s kindly gifted Fullers vouchers, capped by acquisition of one of my fave 80s #Van LPs I already have on CD, but will now actually play…

Rest in peace, Sly Dunbar. Alongside bassist Robbie Shakespeare, Dunbar formed the most influential rhythm section in Jamaican music history, helping to define the sound of reggae, dub, and dancehall. Dunbar, a 13-time Grammy nominee, was 73.

Our YOUNGEST! daughter turns 25 next month. Am very much feeling, entirely unoriginally, heavy stuff about the passage of time and so on & so forth. Anyway, here's a playlist of POP! in memory of those years, which a few of you may like, and others be baffled by x open.spotify.com/playlist/6OM...

They're selling Andy Burnham wigs in Woolworths, man. The greatest decade in the history of mankind is over. And as Ed Milliband here has so consistently pointed out, we have failed to paint it red.

I made this playlist of #FayeWong covers of #CocteauTwins songs; it took a while because on Spotify the titles are all in Cantonese, but I got there in the end 🙏🏻 #nichepost #seriouslynichepost #inbetweendays #ShouldGetOutMore

Having a cup of Yorkshire Gold and munching biscuits with strange and exotic names Mrs H only buys at Christmas. Decompressing. Playing Art. I hope you all continue well x
