Day 8 #AirVentCalendar2025

Summer Solstice Eve at Stonehenge 2025

What's that you say? FIFA corrupt? Noooooooo!

I've just read an article about Christmas 'tablescaping' and now I just feel sad and empty.

I feel so shocked 😪😪 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

The tat we get through the door is really surpassing itself.

And in others news, I heard Mariah Carey on the radio today and ripped the plug out of the socket so hard that I'm surprised I didn't start fizzing.

I've just learnt that, in the UK, Belvoir is pronounced 'beaver' 🦫😳

Dear Britain: Your polls look very "European" and NOW would be a really really really really really really really good time to switch to PR. ➡️ RFM: 26% | 170 (+74) 🟥 LAB: 19% | 124 (-110) 🟦 CON: 18% | 118 (-38) 🟩 GRN: 15% | 98 (+55) 🟧 LDM: 14% | 91 (+10) 🟨 SNP: 3% | 19 (+2) 🔲 PLC: 2% | 12 (+7)

Me flirting

An absolute corker of a gig at Banquet Records this evening - The Charlatans, aka The Nicest Men In Indie.

That photo of Andrew with the 17 year old Virginia Giuffre has been around for years and years. Everyone knew what he was yet it took those years and years of hang-wringing to remove his flipping title? He'll move into a slightly smaller mansion and will live out his years quite comfortably. Awful.

Dog is circling my feet and barking. Once again, she didn't get the memo about the clocks going back.

I know way too many of the lyrics to these cheesy tunes. #totp

Laziest, most nonchalant rapping ever. #totp

Brian Molko used to visit the girls who lived in the Chalk Farm flat below us circa 1997. My flat mate would yell "Brian's here!" and we'd all peek at the window. #totp

Quite a lot of flammable clothing in '98. #totp

Another house on my street succumbs 😭

I ran a half marathon today in memory of a beautiful friend who told me it was her dying wish to have a race run in kangaroo suits in her honour. She was an awesome friend, so it had to be done. Some colleagues came to cheer us on, wearing 'Sonja masks', which was a bit freaky!

A Fistful of Bollocks

This is perfect, cosy Sunday morning reading.

I was in town today & took a stroll past Trafalgar Square just as the peaceful protesters were being carried off. There were so many police vans about that you'd have thought a riot was going down. A tourist asked me what was happening. I tried to explain. She replied "but these people are elderly".

Is it just my smutty mind, or did someone not really think this window display through properly?

These are up all over my 'hood. I daren't look.

Watching The Hack. Is David Tennant playing Peter Capaldi?

I'm trying to eat my yoghurt.

What I saw from my bus this morning.

In a nod to Robert Redford, I decided to watch this tonight. I'm left wondering why/how this is the first time in my 50 years that I've seen it. Bloody loved it.

March route for Wednesday’s Stop Trump demo. Rally in Parliament Square from 5pm to 7pm. Come after work to show your opposition to Trumpismo being imported into the UK by Reform

Walked back through to Waterloo station from the Southbank after the gig. It stank of piss everywhere. The far right love to wee, it would seem.

Compare the wall-to-wall British TV coverage of Yaxley-Lennon's March to its almost non-existent coverage of the much bigger Remain marches. British TV is, with a handful of exceptions, serving as a fascist propaganda machine. It amplifies fascism and suppresses liberalism & socialism.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Passed through Waterloo Station earlier. The place was awash with flags and MAGA hats. I wasn't prepared for the feelings of shock and boiling rage that came up from within me.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of grazed knuckles in Central London today.

SFA come along and make it all right again. #totp

When Natalie Umbrella went indie for a few months. #totp

Oh Lordy. I'd forgotten about the chimney song. I never quite understood it. #totp

90s eyebrows #totp

Someone on the street WhatsApp os offering a pack of mussels that went out of date yesterday 🤢

The Guardian continues to come up with *great* ideas on how to pimp my style....

Gosh, all the best people.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business. It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

Stayed in this beautiful house to celebrate the in-laws 50th anniversary. As we drove home the leaves were falling and people were wearing raincoats. It felt like a bookend to the summer.

Have a super bank holiday, y'all!

I keep on reading about early autumn, because it has been a long, dry summer and the trees are going into survival mode. This is my street right now. Poor trees 🌳

My friend brought me a gift home from her holiday. I'm not entirely sure what it is she's trying to tell me!

www.youtube.com/live/VvFVofq... I couldn't be there so I have this running instead.
