NO CIGAR - Under the Surface #NowPlaying This album has been on repeat over the last few weeks, in Top 5 of 2025 for me.

Evening walk in London

Bills - Bengals was such a great game. Snow. Two fantastic QBs going for it. Snow. Some amazing catches. Snow. A pick six for Buffalo. Snow ... #BillsMafia #GoBills

Very sad news. What a career. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Spotify wrapped has my listening age as 80. Living the dream. Anyway, here are my top songs/artists #music

Just a few little handmade gift ideas from me! #handmade #shopsmall

You have to run it on 3 and 1 there, we tried to be too clever. Knox free on that last play as well, Josh just didn't see him. Just a really bad game from the Bills - other than the great lateral play. Respect to the Texans defense though they were v good. Back to the drawing board. Onwards #Bills

Tyler Ramsey - Flare (For Neal Casal) #NowPlaying open.spotify.com/track/5Byjb4...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A really bad decision from a Labour government. People from working class backgrounds are being priced out of university in England. University isn't for everyone, but those who want or need to go should have equal access, it should not be restricted by income.

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.” Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

Walk from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay completed the Yorkshire trip. Managed to see some seals and what looked like a small pod of dolphins on our journey, a nice complement to the beautiful scenery. #Nature #Yorkshire

A few days in York, beautiful City

Bills fan here, the new uniforms are not good. Our logo and colours are iconic ... I'm all for doing something interesting with a one off kit but that's not it.

Tomatoes are starting to ripen, you can grow a lot of varieties outside in the new UK climate nowadays, no need for a greenhouse.

So many positives from today's game, the result obvs. not being one of them. Price and Heggebo were v good ... Plus good debuts from Campbell and Williams. Played some nice stuff, pressed well, but need to be more clinical. Plus, we need a keeper ... Wildsmith is not great. #WBA #WestBrom

Playing a lot of Alela Diane lately, I'm a big fan ... they've been consistently great for 2 decades now. Highly recommended #NowPlaying #music open.spotify.com/track/2dkPPC...

Bristol.

Doxey Marshes, Stafford. #Nature

Garden still producing despite the challenging weather this year. Feel for those in hotter climates

I've been lucky enough to have seen Matt Cameron drum for both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. What a guy. Sad he's leaving PJ but truly hope it's on good terms (as it seems) and that he's well.

Bees enjoying the garden. #nature

A few images from the garden, the bees seem very happy today. #Gardening #Flowers #Nature #Bees

It is a scandal and needs to be addressed asap www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starmer has got to change tact. This Labour government could have been transformational, a force for good and hope but has made so many bad decisions. Given the nature of our voting system, the result will likely be Farage as PM which was unthinkable only a couple of years ago. Please act.

Fruit harvest going well. #Gardening #GrowYourOwn

Unsurprisingly, I'm really enjoying the Weezer set at Glastonbury. Some great tunes, and they are really tight.

Elbow - Lippy Kids #NowPlaying

We have completely failed future generations. #Climate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sun. Beer.

Macclesfield today. First time here, really enjoyed it

A brick. That’s it. One hollow brick to help save a species... and apparently that’s just too woke for Westminster. With 1.5m new homes planned by 2030 there’s a massive opportunity to also create new homes for wildlife. buff.ly/J8z75hz

You’ve got to hand it to Tupperware. So versatile. National Trust rangers do this year’s puffin weigh-in on the Farne Islands

Rose Tottering-by-Gently starting to bloom, absolutely love this one #Gardening #Flowers

Day out in Lichfield today

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

Walk over Cannock Chase this afternoon, lovely day for walking!

2025: setting all the worst records 🔥

Shots from garden today. #gardening

Andor season 2 is very good. Just great TV, regardless of being in the Star Wars universe.

Day out in Birmingham

Very disappointed that the club has chosen to sack Tony Mowbray. We are not ready to be promoted anyway and would have been far stronger under his stewardship long term - especially if he was allowed to clear out the deadwood, make a few signings and have a preseason. The very least he deserved #wba

Beautiful spring day today.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@thecolmoretap.bsky.social Fantastic pub.

Tulips in the sunshine today! #Gardening

RIP Val Kilmer ... He made some great films, but Willow is top tier.

Spring is here in the UK! Love this time of year
