The neighbours are a little rowdy today. I am at risk of developing a gambolling addiction.

Time to re-up this one. Even with the typo.

Tremendous set from Mogwaiin Cardiff tonight. As always a transcendent experience, but tonight seemed to have an extra spoonful of something.

Here in Cardiff for @mogwai.scot tonight so a visit to @spillersrecords.bsky.social was required. Nice to walk in and be serenaded with Rano Pano at an appropriate volume.

Christoph Niemann

Just looking through some old comics and found a mail order advert for Small Prophets

I dunno what prompted a clothing brand to launch a men’s sweater called the Rosa Parks with an advert featuring a man taking a seat, but we are where we are

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Rose are red, Violets are blue…

New neighbours.

Another Nightingales night, late model edition: - Perish The Thought (2018) - Four Against Fate (2020) - The Awful Truth (2025) @nightingalesuk.bsky.social - any chance of getting “It Is” on the set list for Castle and Falcon? It is (no pun intended) a banger.

Louise V Durham, stained glass and driftwood sculpture, Shoreham by Sea, UK #WomensArt

Annual snowdrop gawping pilgrimage - Painswick Rococo Gardens.

Very neat little map. Seems like I’m right at home.

Well, yes.

Without naming your employment status, tell me something you say over and over again in retirement. “Good God, is it bins again already?”

A night with @nightingalesuk.bsky.social

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

This Turkish barbers in Glasgow got fed up with Nigel Farage’s comments about businesses like theirs, so 👇🤣👏

Anyone else just learned today that Cortina is also a town in Italy?

Neil Young just cancelled his UK tour. Birthday plans are open again. 😔

You can’t have a good night’s sleep because of woke.

Just read this and it’s kinda blowing my mind.

I started this yesterday and devoured two-thirds of it in one sitting. I woke up this morning to realise that today is Groundhog Day. #IYKYK

This is who runs this account:

I retired last July and intentionally did not make any “big plans” but just to let life take me where it wanted. Apparently voraciously devouring books is one place that it wanted to go. This pile was January’s consumption - some new and some re-reads.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Yourself as a cartoon. As immortalised on my wedding card from the office 1987. Artist Tony Brown, one of the loveliest men I’ve ever known, even if he thought Prefab Sprout were a punk band.

Tonight’s adventures in You Must Get Them All2026 (and a progress report)

Cracking series but —after all that set up— I was hoping for a killer Milton-based pun in the end. #OnlyConnect

Well the new recipe vegan Babybels are a bit shit, aren’t they? I think the problem is that they tried to make them taste like cheese, which they are clearly not.

It has come to my attention that there may be some confusion over this week’s House of Games. I can officially deny everything.

I think we can all agree with Lisa here.

Has it really been eight years already?

Sly Dunbar - another treasure lost.

Happy Burns Night to all who celebrate, presumably with explosives.

Drink the long draft, Dan.

Jean Phillippe Charbonnier, Girl and Cat, Roubaix, France, 1958

Donald Trump’s Bored of Peace more like.

What's your sign?

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. “Finding out his penis size was easy enough.”

@robinince.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed reading this but I’m sad to say that the two locations nearest to me are both going out of business. Malvern Book Collective will close in March and Ledbury Books and Maps closes this week. Support your local indie shops! #UseItOrLoseIt

Mark E! Cha Cha!

Aurora tonight, north Gloucestershire

cleaning up my desktop and found this little gem

I removed an old wardrobe today and found a secret hidden opening bricked up behind it. I think we all know what that means.

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
