Medieval minstrel playing bagpipes in Beverely Minster. Dating from the 1300s & probably defaced by Puritans in the 1600s who considered music & musical instruments in worship were to be sinful. #BeverleyMinster #medievalmonday #earlymusic

#NowPlaying Jimi Hendrix Experience - Smash Hits - 1968 UK mono and it sounds dreadful. The stereo is just as bad. Nothing wrong with the music, it's exceptional, but it's muffled and bassy.

Yippie I've been blocked. Looking glass people telling looking glass lies!

Portishead - Glory Box 1994, bought this album called Dummy in the HMV shop in Newcastle. Looked interesting. Sounds like some woman from Portishead a newspaper said. What a place to start.

The old pipe in the river is a very good measure of how much water if flowing downstream. Most of the time it is only just visible. It has been above water level for most of this year.
