Good hair day

Ruin a band by changing one letter Nine Inch Snails

Nice visit to BBC Bristol today!

The British 2p piece is the perfect flipping coin

Everyone knows that the best album pre-production is done in one's jammies.

Italy is jam-packed full of wonders but I'm glad to be back in Bristol again.

This is "The Truth". I miss her. (marble sculpture by #Bernini, housed in Rome's Borghese Gallery)

Last full day in Italy. Explored the ruins of Emperor Hadrian's country estate, the old town in Tivoli, then caught a lovely chiaroscuro sunset .

Oh hey, I rode a scooter in Rome today 🥸

And it's Reecy (the) Pontiff feeling right at home in the Vatican

Raphael's "School of Athens"! #vatican #arthistory

I'm over here in Italy, giving off big Melpomene vibes

A Roman sunset #italy #vatican

In Naples my phone was in roaming mode. But here it is Rome-ing.

I'm loving the studious gay angel lion at the Basilica of San Clemente in Rome #arthistory #renaissanceart

The chains of St Peter reliquary at the basilica named for them in Rome. Insert two euros and doors open to reveal them. PT Barnum would be proud.

The view from the Naples fortress of Castel Sant'Elmo (and yes, I was tickled to be there) #italy #naples #napoli

I picked up this 1951 Disney comics digest in Italian from a street book vendor in Naples for a very special Disney adult in my life. "Topolino" is apparently the Italian name for Micky Mouse -- who is seen here smoking a pipe. #disney

Enjoying a pizza a portafoglio (meant to be folded in half and eaten standing up) before heading down into Herculaneum, Pompeii's smaller cousin. #italy #naples #napoli

Even the optometrists in Italy are sexy

I have never studied Italian but somehow it's still easier to understand than Spanish! #linguistics

Visiting Venice was surreal because I've seen it in so much media. (Seeing the French Quarter for the 1st time must be a similar experience--I can't say as I grew up with it!) But I was utterly unprepared for the gritty magnificent charm of Naples' Centro Storico when I wandered in tonight! #napoli

The magnificent Pompeii archeological site #italy

Almost made it onstage at the big teatro in Pompeii today

Five hours in Venice. Best layover ever! #italy #travel (Con't)

Water transport from Venice airport! 😍

New new song! (Yep, I'm on fire, folks) Absolutely not suitable for work (depending on where you work)! #punk #ukulele #grrl youtube.com/shorts/Xfp7R...

Tomorrow I leave for my first visit to Italy - Naples/Pompeii/Herculeaneum, then Rome. I'm excited for a 10-hour layover in Venice (so 6 to 7 hours outside of the airport). For those in the know, are there any museums/attractions I cannot miss, or should I just wander the scenic streets?

New song! #piano #singersongwriter youtu.be/6BcwjoV3y7Q?...

Happy new year, you fabulous you, you.

I just had the epiphany that no pronouns can contain me (which is why I don't stress about them for myself). Happy new year!

Got my rx rockstar sunglasses out of storage in the US and an delighted to actually need them in the UK.

Later guys, my ride is here!

Name that river

Gone just long enough to once again have no idea which way to look when I cross the street.

This 2021 updated version of the Doctor Who TV movie novelisation will go nicely with the 1996 original I wheedled @twilightstreets.bsky.social into signing for me earlier this month. Thanks for the prezzie @sarahcrane8.bsky.social! #DoctorWho #8thDoctor

I have tickets to see this on my birthday, very excited!

Annihilated my folks at Ravensburger's Mystic Market tonight, but I believe that was largely luck. #boardgames

Got my mother a couple of handmade #DoctorWho Xmas ornaments this year

Merry Christmas from me and my perfectly normal family

The Cajun Night Before Christmas was a childhood favourite of mine. Thankfully my mother still has our copy! (con't)
