Retired in Gloucestershire, UK
The neighbours are a little rowdy today. I am at risk of developing a gambolling addiction.

Here in Cardiff for

tonight so a visit to

- any chance of getting “It Is” on the set list for Castle and Falcon? It is (no pun intended) a banger.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
