Lola has gathered all her pals together for an al fresco lunch.

There has to be a better way !

Remembering Ken tonight @boomradio.co.uk

Can I vote for Marco Rubio?

This is chilling. If you only read one feature today make it this open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

On a gorgeous morning in Kenwood House Hampstead the magnificent magnolia is just in full bloom. A sight that has given me joy for more years than I care to remember.

Netanyahu will never accept peace. Where will his perpetual war lead next?

This is a bit special. Just found it. Enjoy.

Why is Donald Trump crashing the US economy? Because he’s high on his own supply of fake news

Lola looking cute among the crocuses in Regents Park.

Valentine card from Mrs H. See,romance isn’t dead.

What a lovely night at #theexchangetwickenham last night seeing my pal Little @nickyhorne.bsky.social sharing his vivid memories of interviewing The Fabs & David Bowie. Such stories. Hopefully see you soon for that coffee Nicky. And it was lovely to meet you guys, #AlexDyke and #RichardLatto.

It’s tonight! Love to see you !

I have just discovered Substack, and what a discovery it is. Intelligent, thoughtful articles and podcasts from world class writers and thinkers. Check it out.

Due to Thames Water’s staggering inefficiency in dealing with a leak in our road, a lake has formed which has attracted some local wildlife.

My brand new hip beats its previous best. Lola of course did twice as many.

Brilliant and disturbing. The pinnacle of the cartoonist art. Ella Baron in Sunday Times.

Walking in Highgate Wood with Lola and look…1st signs of spring

Happy belated birthday to old chum and good egg Nick Mason. Here, really excited to be interviewed by me

It was Kenny Everett who arranged for me to go to New York to interview John Lennon. Hear the story behind that & exclusive tapes from my archive in Beatles Bowie & Me Feb 12. Exchange Twickenham. www.exchangetwickenham.co.uk/show/beatles...

So Bill Gates has a charitable foundation with £75billion to fight poverty,disease,hunger. Elon Musk doesn’t “do” charity. He spends his 💷on vanity projects and funding anti democratic and fascist politics. Let’s hear more about Mr Gates and far less about the odious Mr Musk

You’re such a lovely audience… brilliant night and full house at Sound Lounge Sutton for Beatles Bowie & Me. We had a great time…We’d like to take you home with us….

Happy Birthday Mr Jimmy. Nx

Just got an email from @eonenergyuk saying they are expecting a payment by DD of £631.32. Which is news to me as they have not supplied our energy for well over a year! Their appalling customer service was one reason we left.

My sister has found this. My testimonial from the headmaster of what was Tottenham Grammar.

As the last post of us on Hampstead Heath seemed popular here are a couple of some earlier pics of Lola that I really like. I know…. I’m obsessed!

This story that he is having a prostatectomy for a BENIGN enlarged prostate does not sound entirely kosher.

1st major walk with my new hip on Hampstead Heath accompanied by old chum Graham Dene @boomradio.co.uk and a muddy and very happy Lola. 10k steps ! Yay

This is #KennyEverett’s answerphone. Hear more from his private archive and we who loved him remember Ken on what would have been his 80th birthday. Tonight 7.00 @boomradio.co.uk

Hear my memories of my colleague,my confidant,my mentor and my friend #KennyEverett with exclusive recordings from his personal archive Xmas day 7.00pm @boomradio.co.uk

One of 1st people to have an answering machine was #KennyEverett. Tomorrow from 7pm @BoomRadio.co.uk you will hear,for 1st time, his beautifully sung message +much more exclusive stuff from his personal archive.Those of us who knew him tell our stories about this extraordinary human “IT’S EVERETT”

So one Flake disowns another.

'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

Freelancers. How’s this for the most ridiculous excuse ever for late payment? And this is a HUGE company.

Whilst I recover from having new hip Lola dog walking duties fall to step son ( international opera singer) Jake Arditti. They have just returned from a trek on Hampstead Heath. To mix metaphors she is like a 🐖 in 💩

The 1st thing I read on Sunday’s is @andrewrawnsley @ObserverUK, always incisive, always essential.Today, though,his piece has scared the shit out of me www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Been in hospital having new hip. The skill of surgeons and the “cutting” edge technology made it almost pain free( the drugs DO work) and I was walking with Mr Zimmer in the afternoon post op. Thanks @ClevelandClinic and Mr P Harnett for brilliant care. Now comes the all important exercises!

So for me it’s been a week like no other. Saying farewell to mother on Tuesday and now I’m in hospital having just had a brand new shiny hip fitted. All part of life’s rich pageant !

I’ve been a bit quiet as yesterday was my mother’s funeral. It was a good send off. My eulogy was well received. My recitation of the mourner’s prayer, read phonetically from the Hebrew,got a stony look from the Rabbi.

I’ve been flitting between my time line on here and the other place and it’s really noticeable when you compare and contrast, what a shit hole #Twitter #X has become.

Last evening my mother Phyllis left us after 97 years. For the last few years she was consumed by dementia but the end was calm and peaceful.Thanks to truly amazing staff @ Magnolia Court Nursing Home. A good life well lived.

The correct answer was …we were giving our opinions on the best Jewish deli’s in New York. We both liked “The Carnegie Deli”. Best salt beef.
