Listening to a CD compilation with a version of The Joker on it.

First car boot sale of '26. £11 spent.

This album has been played a LOT this week.

Nice day for lunch and a record fair right by the river.

New library book.

💪

Post.

Apparently this is a common thing.

Pretty sure the programme tone on our new washing machine is the Close Encounters tune. 🛸

I didn’t see any of yez at mass today, just saying.

Up for 2 hours last night as couldn't stop sneezing, and of course now I'm having a nosebleed. 🤷

Nearby birds.

God it smells good out here.

Brian Tilsley buying London Calling from The Kabin corner shop, Corrie 1980.

1 mile in the pool = one 99p pizza. 🐽

Spring is truly here. Everything's coming up Dottie.

Worst tattoo ever.

Seems we can't zoom in on the new carousel images. Which is a bit crap.

Bee whisperer…

THANK YOU 😄

My sister has lent me a CD by someone called Rae. She couldn't believe I've never heard of her. Apparently even Mr B knows who she is. 🤷

I was first in the library queue for this. Really looking forward to it.

Apparently I've got cellulitis of the elbow. Cellulitis of the elbow hurts like f**k.

In other news, this vintage Tesco plastic carrier bag has been in the window of one of the local charity shops for a few days. They (genuinely) want four quid for it, if anyone is interested.

Another for the collection.

Grandstand

I'm listening to the Hey Duggee album again. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lbrR...

With spring springing, why not give birds a helping hand by leaving out nesting materials? Piles of twigs, moss & grass cuttings, or natural wool all go down well with busy nest builders! 🍃

My malapropism of the day: "Lloyd Cole and the Coconuts"

Legendary singer Asha Bhosle passed away yesterday.. This is my fav Asha song, a truly timeless melody composed by her husband RD Burman, sung with Kishore Kumar. Form the movie Jawani Diwani (1972) it has traveled through the decades with a strong sense of nostalgia & romance youtu.be/K-GPX2PzDKM

On n'est pas dans l'ambiance Earth, Wind & Fire, et je dirai presque que c'est ça qui est bien 👌🏿 La voix sert les morceaux, les morceaux servent la voix, on est sur une osmose parfaite dès l'ouverture youtu.be/vpNBdcUejf0?...

#NP Ce magnifique album de Philip Bailey, paru chez Verve, avec lequel en plus on peut faire du name dropping 😉 Curtis pour 2 covers, Christian Scott, Bilal, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Chick Corea, la liste est longue (Marvin aussi par exemple) 😀

So very, very saddened by this. A great age, an amazing legacy, but never really given his due, especially in the UK. RIP #MikeWestbrook www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Another Asha banger, with R.D. Burman. 🔥 youtu.be/ZaM6F7gmNAA?... m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaM6...

R.I.P. Asha Bhosle. This is one of my faves. ❤️ youtu.be/OlvXDGJAMT0?...

RIP Asha. Even if you don’t know it, you’ve definitely heard her singing Asha Bhosle: The sound of Bollywood dies aged 92 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some sweet little decks...

Nice.

I've had an earworm for several weeks now, which is M.I.A.'s Hussel, but with the title replaced by the word sausage. Help me. youtu.be/k3nZkqDARvM?...

Herbie, Wayne and... Tina? Loving this charity shop buy, dug out of the waiting piles yesterday. #NowPlaying m.youtube.com/watch?v=CwDI...

In the garden. Got my bird of the day.

Dottie is in her happy place.
