The panic-buyers have cleared the supermarket shelves of my favourite Royal Oscietra caviar and European white truffles. Selfish gets.

"Well, one part of the dub is the brain. So it's a living God. And the other part is the heart. Our brain, and our hearts. So you start from the drum. The drum is the heartbeat." Happy Birthday Lee "Scratch" Perry born 20 March 1936

What a day for it. G.B.H. and Between the Lines both pivotal shows for me.

Good afternoon Bluesky. The time is precisely 2:46 pm on Friday, 20 March 2026 - which means it's officially spring. However, my missus' smile in the morning is like having spring in the house, all year round. #spring

Howay me bonny trainers. #NUFC #Toon

Wanna feel old? This is what the cast of Wayne’s World look like now.

Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (that isn't Indiana Jones).

A portrait painting is a unique, irreplaceable expression of one person’s most intimate perceptions. Paul loved my ‘Head of a Woman’, "Observe how the overstated gradations of colour and darkness interlace to form a natural, yet surrealistic symbol of the woman eternal, Paul." I said to him.

Well written - but not by Keir Starmer.

Guess the bass line on my old sliders: a limited series.

'The Whole of the Moon' - The Waterboys

From my copy of the NME, June 1st 1967. There's also a short piece on Micky and a visit to the Monkees' studio. They were in London for their first UK live gigs, 5 at Wembley Empire Pool, June 30th - July 2nd. Setlist included.

Woke this morning thinking, fuck this for a pile of salad toppers. My time in social media since 2009 has been like cracking open sunflowers seeds with my fingernails to get at the meat only to discover that it's been a shit tonne of effort for scant reward - and not very nourishing. #250487

MARC BOLAN ~T.Rex 1973 March 16th Tanx album was released. Marc's 8th album is a lush, layered work - with gorgeous Visconti production, beautiful guitar, & Marc's unique lyrics. "Highway Knees" youtu.be/rYhPrQGHBNU Alternate cover shot #MarcBolan #TRex

Mithering Sunday, more like.

Sally Kellerman in ‘The Invaders’ 1967. *melts*

Same.

That'll do lads.

Howay me bonny lairds - IT'S UP YER FUCKING ARSE! Tear these fucking West End Dandies another arsehole! #NUFC #CHENEW

Handsome lad taking a breather on my front garden fence during his merciless killing spree. Smaller birds in the manor no doubt breathing a collective sigh of relief.

Things my missus does deliberately, just to annoy me: an occasional series. 85. Opens the mail with thumb instead of the letter opener, leaving an unfileable ragged paper mess on the kitchen worktop.

The fucking Strait of Hormuz is open for transit.

His name, is Michael Caine. 93 today.

Woke this morning recalling how we were once joined liked two raindrops on a window. At times I miss her so much I feel like I must be the only person left on this earth. Her skin had a lustre you don’t often see outside of porcelain and her dark brown eyes gave off a warm glow - like Cuban mahogany

HBD to the wonderful Barbara Feldon, who so stylishly and elegantly played Agent 99 on the 60's TV series "Get Smart," BOTD in 1933, turning 93 today! Here's hoping that she lives to be at least 99!!

Eating chilli sin carne with a slim, long-stemmed fork is very much like putting oil paint down on canvas with a long-handled brush - it allows me to stand back and view my culinary and artistic labours of love from a distance, for better perspective.

Oh, Valencia, so much to answer for.

I couldn't care less if none of this is true, it's hugely entertaining on a dreich day, so thanks, Gerald, you halo-haired pixie of doom. Also, I've heard of terrible contracts but Adam Faith getting him to sign over power of attorney is next level. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Woke this morning with that fragile plant called love in my heart. Love changes. Love left. I left love. Did I really love? What is love? #love

Happy 724th (seven hundred and twenty fourth) wedding anniversary to Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet.

Tonight Bluesky, I feel like butter on a stack of oatcakes.
