Off to Autopsy club later. It's open Mike night..

Blimey. 50 years this month since 'Hey Fatty Bum Bum' was first released. Funny how certain songs just stay with you. 🙂

Just inherited my daughters 'Alexa'. When asked,it told me the time and also the weather for the day. I feel like the Liberator crew when they first got Orac.

Started a rewatch of Space 1999. Now becoming slightly obsessed with the whole 1974 shoot of Season 1 at Pinewood Studios. Having delirious dreams of Landau,Bain & Morse dining finely and holding court with the rest of the cast & crew at the local Berni Inn, probably the Crooked Billet near Iver.

Why does Pepsi never advertise using it's official UK slogan as used by all British bar staff? "It's Pepsi..is that alright?" 😉😃

Just seen Elvis in B&Q. Returned a sander.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

I love telling my joke about Dorian Gray. Never gets old.

Happy 'Breakaway' Day! #itscriticaljohn

It always disappoints me that Mumford & Sons are nothing to do with Rentaghost.

End of a wonderful week in the Lake District. Hattie in her element. Cally & I rested, well fed and watered. Homeward bound on the morrow..

Innocently asked my wife if I have gravy on my chin. 'Which one?' Came the reply..

In a pub in the Lakes with a pint of the "Guv'nor"* *Wainwright Gold.

Rude not to, eh? Team of 2. Usual team name, 'Trouble Over Bridgwater' 😋😁

Everytime I see a client's date of birth on a file at work I automatically work out which Dr Who story was showing when they were born.

Always enjoy a holiday accomodation shower where the difference between scalding and freezing requires the delicate touch of a fucking safecracker..😆😋

The emergency alert warning lacked impact as far as I'm concerned. It didn't get my pulse racing and lacked a sense of urgency. Suggestion: Put the 'Fireflash Landing' track from Thunderbirds on in the background during the announcement. Then I'd feel like taking action.🔥🧑‍🚒🧯🚒 youtu.be/3zGb7tBdadc?...

50 years since the debut of 'Space 1999'. Loved it then, as a Sci-Fi/Anderson obsessed 8 yr old, love it now. I still need to work out even now how many times Dr Helena Russell says 'It's critical,John' 😋😉😀

German Daleks. "Extermineiren!" Still makes me smile..

Just found a Twix wrapper in the fridge with ONE TWIX STILL IN IT! Who in hell doesn't eat both at the same time??. A family meeting has been called for 18.30hrs.. 😄🤔

Paint watches England dry... #englandandorra

Hang on. The theme to the BBC1 1975 series of 'Model World' was a song by The Shadows.😲

There's certainly a 'BBC1 Autumn Season' chill in the air tonight..

First rule of Rick Astley Fight Club. You know the rules, and so do I..

Isobel's official graduation photograph has arrived. As much as I would love to I simply cannot claim any credit for her academic achievements! Only one O Level and a fistful of CSEs for me (I'm good at pub quizzes though!)😃❤️😋☺️

2 new soft pillows from The Range making their debut tonight. Winning. 😀

Two astronauts making tea on the International Space Station. Astronaut 1 - 'I can't open the tiny milk carton'. Astronaut 2 - 'In space nobody can. Here,use cream'

'Quantum Leap' new series. Season 2 manifesting. ❤️

Never mind if you missed the live television coverage of this years 'La Tomatina' festival from Spain. It's available on ketchup.

Wore my favourite t shirt to the pub quiz last night.

Banger of a tune playing over the speakers in Dunelm Mill on Sunday afternoon. Recognised but couldn't quite place it, was humming it all afternoon. Since found out it was Kylie and 'What Do I Have To Do'. Catchy as with a hell of a key change.

Holiday reads selected.

Football Fact No 77. 'Queen of the South' is the only football team to be mentioned in The Bible..😋

Loving the mustard coloured tripod table and retro vase purchased today at Dunelm Mill. 😍

We all knew 'Daktari' was Swahili for 'Doctor' didn't we?

Blimey. At 15, I was listening to dodgy copies on audio cassette tape of 'Dr Who and the Moonbase', hidden in my bedroom drinking Horlicks.

Sat in barbers chair this morning. Phone in my pocket goes off. Ringtone of classic Dr Who (the 1967-1979 version with twinkly bits.Yep,that one). Loud and long. 3 middle-age men sat waiting for a cut behind me all nod their heads in unison and exchange knowing looks, smiling at each other & at me.😄

My wife and I on our very first visit to the Lake District back in 1893..

Selling at a local car boot sale on Sunday. Cleared the loft, loads to sell and maybe raise a bit for a meal or 2 on our impending holiday in the Lakes. To be honest, I'm nervous. I got a bollocking on our last one when I sold our sons spenny ski jacket for just 50p. Still scarred to be fair. 😀

Friday...

New neighbours moved in next door. Nice young couple.An early analogy appears to be we are George & Mildred to their Jeffrey & Ann. Emphasis on me being George there. Though my wife thinks I'm more miserable than George. Christmas drinks will be more Tom & Barbara and Margo & Jerry I reckon..

How Scotland Yard prevented the Dalek Invasion of Buckingham Palace (Daily Mirror, 21st August 1964).

I love Tesco. It keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose..

Away to bed I go with a warm malt-based milky drink and the prospect of starting on Sheila Steafels autobiography.

F.B.I' by The Shadows just came on my kitchen playlist. Had a major knee wobble at the almighty key change. Superlative.

Me and 'Alexa'? Avon and Orac..😁

Home made Hungarian Goulash and the new 'new' series of 'Quantum Leap'. Oh boy..

Isobel watching her favourite film on the big telly, 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'. I've just impressed her by nonchalantly spotting Julie Newmar then theatrically making my way through to the kitchen..😁
