So today I begin another journey around the Sun. My first birthday without my dad. On my last birthday he said my name which as he was unable to speak was the best birthday present ever. Amongst all my memories of him it's one of my most precious. Thinking of you today Pa. 😢

@haggistamer.bsky.social I have been informed that apparently, if you successfully complete a PhD in Finland you are presented with not only a top hat, but a sword as well. How cool is that? I should love to stroll around the town after the ceremony wearing my top hat and brandishing my sword!

Damn right!

Anyone winning this will be in for a wonderful treat!

Yesterday I saw the most important man in my life take his last breath. It was a privilege being his daughter and a better father I could not have wished for. I was so very lucky to have had him in my life. He gave me a wonderful life full of opportunities. I will miss him. Goodbye Pa, love you Pa.

@mickpuck.bsky.social last night I listened to an interview with Mark King. He was asked what his favourite song was. He said he didn't have one as such, but a song he always returned to was TWOTM. He said he marveled at how well crafted and executed a song it was. He described it as brilliant.
