The Snout is snoozing. #greyhounds #greyhoundlife

Recommended treatment for injured knee: anti- inflammatories, painkillers, icepacks, & greyhound.

Fabulous gig, good company, and absolutely no accidentally-spiked cake.

Iceman has learnt not to shred toys. So it was time... #greyhoundlife #greyhoundadoption #greyhounds #cleothecaterpillar

First walk in the rain since we got this chap. Iceman took it in his stride (contrary to expectations of this drama llama breed). #greyhounds #greyhoundadoption

Whatever next is always something beautiful.

New record-buying policy: covers must look like Captain Kirk, Spock, and a Red Shirt might transport in at any moment…

A fortnight in, and new family addition Iceman is loving life #greyhounds #greyhoundadoption

Oxygen + @pencilsqueezer.bsky.social = beautiful art

#joanaspolicewoman Joan Wasser and band being awesome last night at #cambridgejunction

Meet Iceman the Grey, our magnificent new family member.

Me, thinking about my third biker rally bar shift tonight in 30 degree heat:

Me, getting home at 1:45am after 9 hour bar shift at a biker rally in 30 degree heat…

Something is coming…

Today I have a head full of mythical Welsh tribes in the American Interior after seeing @gruffrhys.bsky.social at Bedford Esquires last night. If I could speak Welsh, I would say he was rhyfeddol.

I bought these, and so should you. Message ends.

Professor Goldstone deserves all the plaudits for his expertise and advocacy in the field of PWS. As does PWSA UK, the charity that is a lifeline for many.

Just bloody marvellous. No further questions.

Deciding what to watch and listen to on Feb 14th? You’re welcome.

RIP Sam Moore. What a voice. What a duo. What a show. (Stax tour, 1966). Some of the best soul music ever made, by anyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fowl...

The ‘Death by a Thousand Breathy Cover Versions’ playlist continues with REM’s Everybody Hurts. Yes, yes, everybody does 😬

Currently somewhere being piped a shocking easy-listening cover of Stevie Wonder’s Superstition. I may have to stab someone in the eye with a fork.

Happy New Year to all you wonderful people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqxR...

Annual Christmas record gifting exchange with Mr Drakeygirl. A fine collection of sounds!

Had a lovely visit to Heatongrad tonight. #paulheaton #eventimapollo #hammersithapollo

England wing Ollie Sleightholme has something of the Chuckle Brother about him… To me, to you ENGvJAP

Bluesky gives me a clean slate! Here, I can post only carefully-created, intelligent gems of wisdom, wit and wonder. … Or I can show you Colin, the slightly-perturbed carrot.

I have been fragrance shopping with my teenage boy. This shit has come on leaps and bounds since Lynx Africa.

Post a photo of you from a different era

My favourite spoken outro. 'I'mma leave' gets me every time. youtu.be/NQlBr3KfQ6k?...

Posting for absolutely no reason. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

Me in my echo chamber

Lucky enough to have this beauty on my wall. Everyone needs their own @pencilsqueezer.bsky.social

Do me a favour - watch this. We’re better together, insist this motley crew of people with dementia, mental health issues & learning disabilities (including my daughter). They’re not wrong. They’ve bottled something special here. An epic day at Abbey Road Studios. youtu.be/8qA7zaSV10E?...

Bufton Tufton, John Paul Sartre, Zippy, Bungle, and Jeffrey Archer

Birthday booty opened a day late…

...watching Shane and Kirsty sing Fairytale in a blizzard of fake snow on St Patrick's Night; falling in love forever jumping with joy to Fiesta at a music festival 34 years ago. RIP Shane MacGowan. 2/2

No band holds more memories for me. Playing hooky from sports day to make a London gig; moshing to Sally MacLennane with smiling skinheads in polka dot suits; 1/2

This week I have mostly been in bed with the lurgy. But today I have emerged, feeling human once more. Rejoice.

With my finger on the pulse of the latest cinema releases, I have watched Moonlight tonight. A mere 7 years on from it winning Oscars. It was - and I can say this with late but incisive insight - very good.

I don’t know what the test is but this song and this video pass it.

Caught the excellent Lisa Cortés 'Little Richard: I Am Everything' doc the other night (thanks, @davedfb.bsky.social). Richard's violent and abusive father (pictured left) - gave him a desperate need for love and attention. And also a large scoop from the handsome section of the gene pool.

Heads up if you enjoy the NT Live cinema screenings: National Theatre At Home is giving you a free stream of a performance of Othello for home viewing on Thursday evening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkKY...

Took my girl to see The Great Escaper, and found it surprisingly melancholic. Expected too much trite 'patriotic caper' shenanigans, instead got some delicate nuance on the realities of old age, with a quietly magnificent love story at its core.

*sings* Got a new agenda With a new dream I'm kicking out the aubergine *stops* What do you MEAN, it's 'kicking out the *old regime*'? Are you MAD?

Banger. End of message.

I have just played this song three times in a row. I'm not sure it was enough.
