Moon's up

"Northampton Sky, March". 2026.

"Where does this stuff come from? Surely it's not me thinking these songs up? I live in Swindon!...Surely my washing machine motor of a secondary modern school brain isn't capable of thinking up songs like this?" Oh Andy Partridge, I really hope you continue well #NowPlaying #XTC #AppleVenus1

Best indie band I’ve never seen ‘live’

I am pleased to share I'm having another glass of rum

Reposting this only to say that if you are in/near London: GO! It is weepingly beautiful #Hockney

Finished watching ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ and the best compliment I can pay it is, I really think Jane would have approved 10/10

Just clocked an ‘I’m pleased to share’ post - a first for me on here but, yeah IT’S NOT LINKEDIN MATE

David Hockney’s entirely beautiful ‘A Year In Normandie’ perfectly presented (and for free) at the Serpentine North Gallery today #DavidHockney #LondonExhibitions #21stCenturyArt #BritishArt

Reminded of Larkin’s poem ‘Coming’ today with the longer, lighter Spring evening

'Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable/And lightness has a call that's hard to hear' #IndigoGirls #NowPlaying #PotatoRoastingMusic #WhatASong

#ABBAVoyage postcard from youngest daughter, delivered belatedly via her sister in an ‘Oh yeah, can you take this to Dave’ sort of way and I can’t tell you how much I love them both for all of the above

Four pegs and a lighthouse #withernsea

Well, it’s the 61st anniversary today, so I think you’ll agree that it must be time for me to repost this thread about Julian and Sandy. It is, after all, always bona to vada their dolly old eeks again

Quaffing rosados and whisking eggs with a fork for an improvised frittata feat. English asparagus like I'm Harry Palmer or summat

Mist shrouded Houses of Parliament from the South Bank of the River Thames, London for #ColourADay #BWFri From the very early #1980s when I was a field tester for #Ilford XP1. Discovered when I digitised my film archives. #ECK #photography #BlackAndWhite #monochrome

We have a hawthorn tree about a metre from our back door that over the years has been invaded by ivy, which has gone wild and started blocking the light. Went out there to deal with it today, my main motivation being to clear the patio table for rosados & meals, given #Spring etc

It’s #WorldPoetryDay so a good time to share this timeless and relatable fragment of Archilochus, a 7th century BC lyric poet.

Jar lid decorated with a little bird just hatched from one of the eggs. Egyptian alabaster, wood, and ivory. Found in 1922 in the tomb of Tutankhamun, 18th Dynasty, c. 1336-1327 BC. Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

This was a 60th birthday prezzie from youngest daughter back in July 25; we knew the released as ‘singles’ crossover tracks, etc. 8 months later, the acoustic interludes, minor tracks & ballads - esp. final ‘Nossa Senhora Das Dores’ are just *sigh* It’s a beautiful record, in short #AnaMoura 🙏🏻

Here’s to the Mums who made us x

‘The way that sunlight flits across your skirt/Makes me feel I'm from another world/To touch your face in the morning light/I hope you're always gonna be around’
