After several self referrals in the last year, I finally received an appointment with physiotherapy. The problem is, I don’t know which referral it relates to, so I don’t know which bit of me it’s about!

Many people tell me I’m too old to have my hair like this but I love having red hair. :-) #SundayPixRed

Our pet rabbit escaped for a few hours. A few weeks later….. #SundayPixBeginnings

Fed up of constantly being cold here. My mission for next winter is to figure out how to manage some heating that works and isn’t £900 a month!!

#SundayPixTravel Pletnas are traditional flat-bottomed wooden boats on the stunning Lake Bled, Slovenia. Rowed standing up by pletenars using oars called stehruder, they silently carry up to 20 passengers to Bled Island, a tradition dating to the 1500s.

Watching a TV programme I recorded off the telly in 1985. Incredible nostalgia.

Also I’ve started having piano lessons.

Feeling very old lately. Also very emotional. Also totally confused as to the day of the week. Did I mention feeling old? :-/

This was my 50th birthday. Took a LOT of saving up but….for probably the only time ever…we flew upper class to New York. Virgin gave me champagne :-) #SundayPixBirthday

I’m very annoyed that getting a new phone, (had to due to the old one being kaput), prevented me from logging in here yesterday. I missed #SundayPixLights so I’m doing it a day late. Sorry! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why am I awake at half three in the morning? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Still extremely cold here, inside and out. Can’t use heating due to ongoing cockup by Octopus, who are not even answering my emails.

#SundayPixWobjects As soon as I saw this week’s theme, I cried. He’s so missed. X. Although we’d spoken a bit, this photo was what really marked the beginning of our friendship and lots of long wonderful conversations. Apparently it’s very me :-). So the scarf always reminds me of beloved Wombat x

Snowed in so can’t do planned cleaning for my Auntie. Now trying to persuade myself that it would be sensible to do tax returns. Deadline looming. :-/

We cook and clean for my elderly Aunt. So glad we took a load of meals up yesterday as it looks like we are snowed in :-/

Well the snow is here. Just hope we don’t get snowed in again.

There’s going to come a time when I can’t cope with the temperature in my house. The ice cubes in my glass of water from last night, are still there now!

Ridiculously late waking up today. It can’t be healthy! 😳

I was once in a band with the drummer from Catatonia

Today’s jobs include finishing recording a song for a daft annual project thingy I do, start a video for said track, solve a mystery water ingress problem and cook a nice piece of gammon. Oh…and a bit of shopping.

I really want to try to do SundayPix every week. In honour and memory of @wombat37.bsky.social if nothing else x. So here’s me playing at Brecon Jazz Fringe Festival earlier this year in the cathedral. #SundayPixFestival

Had my first decent sleep last night in months. Shoulder pain has made sleeping tricky, but I somehow found a comfortable position using about eight pillows in various places!!

For anyone interested, Michael Wombat did a Q&A for me about our The Summer Realm project and what inspired him to make it a collaboration. #TheSummerRealm 💙📚👀📢📚 #FantasyBooks purplequeennl.blogspot.com/2025/12/q-wi...

Dreamt that gravity was affected by the proximity of sausages.

I’ve always thought our house is especially suited to Christmas…yet every year we wake up in a travelodge near Kidderminster 😂 Nasty mattress morning pain abounds.

Nadolig llawen pawb x. Merry Christmas everyone. X I shall be raising a glass to missing friends and loved ones. 🥂

This.

Still very much reeling from the news yesterday of the loss of the wonderful Wombat. The world is just not as good without him in it. #GNUWombie

Today will be mainly cooking potatoes. Then possibly cleaning for my Auntie and possibly recording some music for a daft annual thing I do.

Morning. I know it’s late morning, but it is still morning. I’m not very good at mornings….unless it’s 3am and I’m still up. :-/

I haven’t got the words for how I’m feeling today. I actually really haven’t. Warm, wonderful Wombat. The world is a worse place for his passing.

Ahh, Wombie. 💔😢 My heart is heavy today.

Anyone here had ETD for a couple of months and still got better? It just seems to be dragging on forever.

After a difficult day yesterday, enjoying doing very little today. Am I odd in liking Mondays and January?

Only one wing, but I hope it’s allowed. Sorry I’m soooo late too #SundayPixWings

I dreamt someone gave me HMRC for Christmas

I most certainly want to be part of the virtual chain. Wombat is one of the very best humans. #circleofloveforwombie I’m also very much thinking of his family x.

I like cake and I like beautiful places. This was a glorious combination of the best of both. Blejska kremšnita, (cremeschnitte), by the incredibly stunning Lake Bled in Slovenia. #SundayPixMemorableFood

It’s weird suddenly realising I’m really quite old.

Second attempt with YouTube link I’m not sure anyone sees my posts as to be fair, I’m not on here much, but just in case. Here’s a song I wrote. It’s about how everything can change in a heartbeat. X youtu.be/KWLwdovfF9k?...

This weekend’s excitement includes changing electricity tariffs 😳

My teeth itch

Here we go... Look out for the full video of me as my character, Cleaveskull, coming soon. Please repost this with wild abandon, and pre-order the book. Paperback pre-orders should be along before too long.

I’ve had terrible trouble with my ears for the last 6 weeks (ETD), including a weird and not so wonderful variety of tinnitus. I was woken up this morning by what I thought was another new sound…only to find it was a wren that had somehow got into the bedroom and was flapping round my head!

Jeez look at the time. Two solo gigs await this weekend. Not recommended with ETD :-/. Still… there is Indian street food at tomorrow’s venue. This is not the life I was expecting. At all. Weird.

Brown noise is the best for masking horrendous low humming tinnitus. In case you needed to know.

Deaf in one ear today. Really scary :-(

Whilst realising there are people with far, far worse problems, it has been a trying few weeks. Third week of really awful ear infection, car diagnosed with serious and very expensive problems, floods all around and the ground so soggy, a tree uprooted and fell on the roof today. :-/

This is the weirdest (and possibly most unpleasant) infection I’ve ever had. Probably against my better judgment I’m going to do the gig tonight. Times like this I really miss being part of a duo.
