One of the great things in being retired, is being able to now watch every second of the Ashes cricket 🏏 #Ashes2025

Finally, at long last, my 60th birthday present has arrived, the new box set of one of my favourite albums, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. There’s so much content here to enjoy, with the Dolby Atmos mix of the album being simply stunning. ULLAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Had the great pleasure of watching the amazing @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social live in concert in Sydney last night. It was a truly fantastic show, with another musical great I can tick off my bucket list. #StevenWilson

For a horrible moment during our walk along Inch Beach here in Ireland, I thought the plane was going to hit the moon. Luckily, it just missed… 🌑✈️

Apple Music is having a laugh with all its Pink Floyd albums… 🤣🤣🤣 #PinkFloyd #AppleMusic

Sad to hear of the passing of Rick Davies from the band Supertramp. Breakfast In America was a key part of my musical upbringing. RIP. 💔 #Supertramp #RickDavies

Many in the US think that people are the problem, not the guns. But they’re OK with giving the problem easy access to guns… 🤦‍♂️ #GunControlNow #USA #USALogic

Undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic treasures, the Green Gorilla at Bathurst… 🙃🦍🇦🇺 #Australia #Bathurst

My new commissioned art piece has began, with the somewhat tricky initial location outline now complete… #RichardFooteArt #CanberraArt #CBR #NewYork

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, well done indeed… 🤣🤣🤣 #Trump #SouthPark

I’ve been fully retired now for 2 years and it has truly been fantastic, I highly recommend it 🙃. Of course, I’ve been as busy as ever, but focusing purely on just the fun stuff.

My selections for the Triple J Hottest 100 Hotest Songs. Unfortunately my No 1 Nick Cave song (The Mercy Seat) was unavailable for selection, but these all songs feature prominently on my playlists… 🎶

I know it’s meant to be satirical, but there’s definitely a sense of truth to this… 🤷‍♂️

How it began… #RichardFooteArt #CanberraArt #CBR #Art

Finally finished my latest art piece that I started in early April. Not sure whether to call it “False Trails” or simply “Blue” as many people that saw it progress said “Oooo, that’s blue”… 🙃 #RichardFooteArt #CanberraArt #CBR #Art

I’m sorry Midjourney, but infringing copyright is infringing copyright. Copying the art of others is not art but the exact opposite… 🤷‍♂️

I’m sitting here with just a few hours left of my 50’s and I’m feeling rather good about things and all the exciting adventures to come… 🍾

There are very few that are truly legends in the world of music, but Brian Wilson was surely one of them. Today was the perfect day to listen to the brilliant Pet Sounds and this cover by David Bowie #BrianWilson #BeachBoys : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnu6...

The man-babies that are Trump and Musk deserve all the hatred they throw at each other. Hopefully, they’ll damage each other irrevocably… 🙏 #Trump #Musk #TrumpVsMusk

Currently listening to the 2024 5.1 surround sound mix of this classic by Porcupine Tree, “Fear of a Blank Planet”. Just brilliant. #PorcupineTree

So Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup means Brighton failed to qualify for Europe. It just gets better and better… ⚽️ #CPFC

MAGA boycotting Harvard means that applicants will reduce by approximately 3 in the coming year… 🤦‍♂️ #MAGAMorons

I STILL can’t believe Crystal Palace at long long last, after all these many many years, actually won the bloody FA Cup and will be playing in Europe next year!!! Don’t anybody pinch me, just don’t. ⚽️ #CPFC #CrystalPalace #FACup

I love what you’ve done there Google… 🤣🤣🤣💙♥️ #crystalpalace #FACup

OMG!!!! Crystal Palace have won the bloody FA Cup!!!!! Wooooohooooo ♥️💙 #CPFC #FACup

Massive night for this Crystal Palace fan here in faraway Canberra. Can it be third time lucky for our drought to finally end… 🙏 ♥️💙 #CPFC #FACup

We now live in a world where Peter Dutton will never ever be Prime Minister of Australia and I have to say that it’s upliftingly fabulous… ☀️ #auspol #ausvotes

Seriously, WTAF!!! Just in case anyone was wondering why most of the world thinks Trump a disrespectful, narcissistic moron… 🤦‍♂️ #Trump

So Australia has said NO to divisiveness, NO to Trumpism, NO to nuclear and NO to far-right ideology. The future for Australia looks so much brighter as a result… 🇦🇺👏👏👏 #auspol #Trumpism www.news.com.au/national/fed...

Recently returned from a fabulous 2 week explore throughout country Victoria, including the amazing Great Ocean Road. The Australian coastline is just spectacular. 🇦🇺 #Australia #Victoria #GreatOceanRoad

The Pompeii - Inside A Lost City exhibition at the Canberra National Museum is just spectacular. Highly recommended !!! #CBR

List ten bands/artists you've seen in concert, but ONE is a lie. People leave a reply to who they think is the lie. Here's mine, let's play! 1. David Bowie 2. Pink Floyd 3. Radiohead 4. Elton John 5. Billy Joel 6. Coldplay 7. The Cure 8. Nick Cave 9. Crowded House 10. Muse

Larry Ellison has lost a lot more so far this year, than sucking up to Trump has gained him. And things are likely only going to get worse as anti US sentiments grow. You reap what you sow… 🤷‍♂️ #Oracle

I’ve eaten steak in the US on numerous occasions, including at some very expensive and well renowned restaurants. I’ve never, ever had US beef that comes even remotely close to the quality of steaks available in Australia… 🤷‍♂️ 🇦🇺 #TrumpTariffs

I stand with Australia, Canada and all other nations and all penguins impacted by Trump’s stupid tariffs… 🇦🇺🇨🇦🐧 #TrumpTariffs

In case anyone in the US wonders why Australians live approximately 7 years longer on average than Americans… 🤷‍♂️ 🇦🇺 #TrumpTariffs

America really is an international joke… 🤦‍♂️ www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/p...

Just sharing… 🤣🤣🤣 #Trump

I’ve finally, at long last, finished my latest art piece called “Nottingham”. It was about 5 months in the making, but I’m really happy with the final result. So very pleased it’s going to a good home. #RichardFooteArt #CBR #CanberraArt

Got my (rather excellent) tickets to see the fabulous Steven Wilson when he comes down to Sydney in November. Can’t wait, super excited!!! @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social #TheOverview

This Australia… 🤷‍♂️🇦🇺 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

First Space X rockets and then the X platform and then the US stock market. Is it just me or is there a lot of Musk related crashing happening at the moment… 🤷‍♂️

Silly morons finally find out that they’re indeed silly morons. Sympathy, zero… 🤷‍♂️ #MAGAMorons edition.cnn.com/2025/03/08/u...

🤣🤣🤣

I’m thinking of contributing to Australian Cancer Research, but I’m concerned about them being “grateful enough”. Thoughts MAGA… 🤷‍♂️ #TrumpZelenskyMeeting

🤣🤣🤣

Today, I completed my first 10km row since I was diagnosed with serious heart disease back in July last year. With my open heart surgery now 3 months behind me, I’m now feeling like my “old” self again… 🙏♥️

Currently listening to the 5.1 surround mix of this absolute gem by David Bowie, “Station To Station”. #TheThinWhiteDuke

I was asked where I lived. I replied Canberra, which is approximately 14,300 kms from the Gulf of Mexico… 🇦🇺🇲🇽
