I can't help feeling that the outcome of a TV group interaction show isn't news.

I saw a sign-written van “Thomas Robinson, Electrician”. It hadn’t occurred to me that two abbreviations of the name could cause issues from opposite ends of politics. Incidentally, I saw Tom Robinson a few months ago. Towards the end of the set he announced: “And now a medley of my hit”

It’s ages since I last listened to Jonathan Richman’s Rock and Roll with the Modern Lovers. “We’ll stand there and watch my car vegetate.”

This Cornish church Well known for a mermaid tale Few take time to wonder At the colours in the kneelers Once crafted from animal, vegetable and mineral Now synthesised Remote from the nature they are used to portray — A Zennor dye ode

Staying in West Cornwall and Mrs E reminds me of this Brenda Wootton song about Humphrey Davey. Livelier than a Wikipedia article and I like the way she includes Faraday as one of his discoveries. #science #history #Cornwall www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpMZ...

Heard neologism of the day: crocsimiter, or maybe croximiter. A misremembering of an orange flowered plant became a management prioritisation tool.

Just got back from Semele at the ROH, well worth going to. I believe the phone drop is the new cough. At least six of the former and I only noticed one of the latter. Maybe @aiannucci.bsky.social needs to bring this up to date: www.theguardian.com/music/2017/s...

Duck!

Some pictures from the last week or so of wandering around with a pocket camera. Mostly wildlife. #photography

I met Tubby Laa-Laa yesterday! The wonderful Nikky Smedley gave her "Confessions of a Tellytubby" at the Bigg Theatre in Biggleswade. As the picture shows, I am definitely the tubbier. #tellytubby

Dropped into Woodbridge to see how the Sutton Hoo Shop’s Company are getting on with the build. They are making good progress, apparently a good supply of timber has helped. Each strake is made by splitting a tree trunk into segments, each of which is shaped and finished with axes.

Spending a few days at the Aldeburgh Festival. I just realised that Snape Maltings is Camden Lock for old people.
