Starting to watch a great double bill right now. Two of the best horror films ever made. Starting with The Wicker Man, to be followed by The Haunting.

Cheeky squirrel!

Maybe this is the cynic in me, but… I’ve long believed that you have to consider the essential differences between local and national politics, and vote accordingly, not necessarily for the same Party. Take Leicestershire County Council for example. When Reform set up a 🧵continues ⬇️

Boy, did I need this large single malt tonight. Up at 4.30 a.m. to get Sue to Leicester Coach Station to catch the coach to Heathrow for her flight to Madrid. Then I drove to Howden near Goole to visit a very dear friend. Dinner at my local pub. Now collapsed in front of the TV.

George has got his bouncy castle, and Jack…well, Jack’s just bouncing.

Coffee and a book in the sun on a Sunday morning. What could be better?

Two shots of the night sky from my garden a few moments ago.

Nighty night, George ❤️

I’m not naive enough to believe that the impossible can’t be done.

Got the result of my CT scan. No anomaly with my oesophagus, but my left tonsil is enlarged, which is probably why the gastroscopy camera wouldn’t go down. Taken off the cancer pathway, which is a great relief. Non-urgent phone appointment with my GP in a couple of weeks.

Good to be back out here.

I’ve missed these sights during the winter

Out on my circular walk again. The first time this year.

Early night tonight. Got to be out of the house by 3.15 a.m. to get Chris to the airport.

Simple truths of life. The younger you are when you discover these, the happier you’ll be. For me, it was while recovering from my 1997 mental health crisis.

Not as warm as yesterday, but it’s still sit-outsideable-and-read weather.

Two of the best ever films on within a few days of each other next week. The Haunting (“one of the scariest films ever made”), and The Wicker Man (“one of Britain’s most revered horror films”). Maybe I’ll record them and watch them back-to-back.

I’ve sold the vast majority of my #DoctorWho book collection, after deciding to keep only the more iconic and important stories. This is all I have left now ⬇️.

I am on holiday and forgot that BFI #DoctorWho TV Movie tickets went on sale. And now they’re sold out! 😭😭😭 If anyone has a spare ticket or any leads, I’ll do *anything*…

Wednesday morning’s beckoning.

Good win for Janice this evening, taking Indonesia’s BJK Cup round-robin score to 2-0.

Never seen this phenomenon before - the sun behind the aircraft, is casting its shadow in front of it across the sky.

A few moments ago out the back

Just waiting for the train to pass through my daughter’s village. And there it goes…

The pigeons are on their holidays. One’s sunbathing. The other’s in the pool.

Storm Dave - or should that be Rodney ? 😆 - is blowing a gale outside.

I’m watching Southampton v Arsenal in here, Susie B’s watching Celebrity Sabotage in the lounge. I’ve got the better deal.

A lovely single malt in my favourite glass

Shifting the winter debris

Watching the two #DoctorWho missing episodes yesterday, has prompted me to pull my copy of the two-part novelisation of The Daleks’ Master Plan down off the bookshelf. Anyone else re-reading it as a result of seeing yesterday’s magic?

Okaaaayyyyy, here we go. #DoctorWho #Missingepisodes

Amazon has just let me know that Andrew Lawston has released a new book. I won’t be reading or reviewing it. A couple of years ago I gave one of his books a glittering 5-star review, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. His response was to block me on social media 🤔.
