Still find this exciting….

Feeling like a true prophet in having spent last saturday afternoon vacuum packing and storing away my winter wardrobe..... 🥶

I knew Starmer was toast when he included a public interest clause in his announcement about nationalising British steel this morning.

Good morning 🌅

I’d forgotten all about this video until today. What a beautiful piece of music this is too. youtu.be/gYBaNahELn8

Wrong side of the tracks (I guided it back, like a sheepdog…)

May the 4th be with you, dad makingrightsmakesense.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/m...

The thoughts of everyone at BASW is with the victims, their families & the wider Jewish community following the horrific attack in London. No one should live in fear because of who they are. Antisemitism is an evil that we must all challenge & stand against. Hate & prejudice will never win.

Gone by Wednesday then?

Good morning 🌅 #SouthwarkPark #AdaSalter

"Joy is resistance" is not just a platitude, it's actual fucking praxis

Good morning 🌅

Album of the year and it’s only April open.spotify.com/album/7mff4W...

it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth

Including those arseholes who attached themselves to the Down Syndrome Bill, one of who now leads UKIP, eh @mumof3amigos.bsky.social

A sentence like this still brings you up short doesn’t it ‘Orbán's defeat will come as a blow to his close allies Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump’ #Hope www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...

Went to see The Magic Faraway Tree. Sort of enjoyable, with the occasional painfully icky bits (the family song 🤢), some deeply inexplicable plotlines, and lacking in any real suspense. Mark Heap steals the whole film. Felt like a waste of an amazing cast and how AI films might feel soon.

One flew east, one flew west.... blogpost linking One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the Old Vic to direct payments, Dadaism and Angine De Poitrine. Resistance is *never* futile. makingrightsmakesense.wordpress.com/2026/04/09/o...

I have found a new love 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRgH...

Great endorsement from Chief Social Worker for England & co-chair of the Modern Service Framework for Frailty & Dementia working group Sarah McClinton for 'Live More' - supporting people with dementia & families to stay active, connected and well socialworkwithadults.blog.gov.uk/2026/04/08/l...

Spring shadows on a hot day in Deptford

I’ll say it again, it’s not #dementia

Clanger-speak.

Artemis II crew returning to Earth.

Went to see ‘The Drama’. Amazing. Now that is one original plot twist and conceit….

Went to see One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the Old Vic tonight. You should too. Was incredible.

Possibly the best tweet ever committed to the site.

Another young persons drinking establishment in London where all the bar staff refer to customers as ‘love’ as tho I’m Greenhalghes bakery in Bolton. What’s going on?

So earlier this year I felt really glum & decided to do a few new things to try to lift myself. One was to learn to play the Ukelele I bought in the Xmas 2020 lockdown. Tonight the group I’m with is performing at a bar in Shoreditch, including Bulletproof by La Roux. Not quite matched her quiff…

If I owned a grocer’s called Tuck Shop, I would have not have chosen this font

This recipe looks lovely and most of all its instruction to ‘de-beard’ the spring onions, which I have never heard before (tho wondering whether anyone eats them unshaven and hirsute?)

hold my beer, hemingway

Have to share this at least once a year. Always struck she was maybe the Italian Cilla Black, albeit performing a song written for her by Ennio Morricone, that inspired Johnny Marr. Be patient - it’s absolutely breathtaking www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LOS...

I am so in love with these two. ‘Dual Carriageway’. Chris Morris meets Julia David meets Ali G meets Mrs Merton in a parallel universe www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

was out to see Mogwai at the Albert Hall tonight. Fabulous and so overpowering as always. But their sound and imitations of it so ubiquitous now that was unable to escape the creeping sense of dread that I was one of a number of suspects in an ITV drama about a missing child. youtu.be/9hMw9AavXqU

discussing trend for comedians/comedy actors to play murderers & sex offenders in TV biopics: Stephen Marchant as Stephen Port; Steve Coogan as Jimmy Savile; Martin Cloons as Huw Edwards. Concluded Ronnie Corbett would’ve made a good Rose West. Others?

It was spring in London yesterday. Now it is a very bad shipping forecast.

That bit in Years and Years where Trump nukes a small island to make a point to China, and thankfully no country retaliates in kind.

Misty morning run 🏃
