Proud Dad moment. Child number 1 has done his first solo flight. Big milestone and scary stuff :-). This is him and his lovely instructor doing the customary certificate ceremony.

What a day. Down to Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury and then Liverpool to play a gig and now home. Exhausted…

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

UK’s problem is that we don’t have enough disposable income, which you can fix by things getting cheaper or by people earning more money, and also either one of those things makes the other easier.

Hands off cocks, Jackson! #totp

This is a bit silly now… #totp

This was so influenced by Prince… #totp

The excellentest thighs #totp

Who is this for? Very odd #totp

This is just ‘Cats’ #totp

WHY does Marc Almond always sing ever so slightly sharp? #totp

Chrissie Hynde can do no wrong for me. Well mainly. But that track sucks. #totp

S&P are terrifying in this video. They’d mess you up #totp

Noone has ever used the phrase ‘non-open door’ #totp

Even by Showaddywaddy standards this is execrable. Bring back Darts. #totp

This is kind of like a cockney Sparks. But shit #totp

Annie Lennox’s haircuts got a LOT better, didn’t they? #totp

Bless George Michael for making this song and video after everything that happened. Taking the piss, owning the narrative, making sure none of it could hurt him. We didn't appreciate this man enough at the time. #totp

New Viz annual title revealed #totp

This has no actual lyrics does it? ‘Llmmnurmurlllmmrrrnnnnrrr’ #totp

Oh I am TOTALLY in the mood for some #totp tonight

That’s really clever.. You’d think someone would have warned JFK in this case.. 🤦‍♀️

Right BlueSky. Desk chair recommendations. I’m sick of my IKEA chair and my lower back would like a bit of help. What do you have, fellow homeworkers? And yes I’d LOVE a Herman Miller but I’d rather not sell the car… Although if you want to tell me thats the best money you ever spent - go for it

Vanished 240 years ago, the UK’s largest bird of prey – the white-tailed eagle – just returned to English skies like it never left. share.google/GTps20C2Op8T...

Sorry - but the cricket is brilliant. I love this England team. Yeah, they occasionally get a bit skittled, but the difference is, it doesn’t seem to worry them… Plus - the entertainment! It’s like a different sport from the ‘bat and pad’ tedium of my youth…

Only a local by election but a good excuse for #dogsatpollingstations. And yes - the collar does give the game away re. my vote…

I used to quite enjoy Grand Designs. Turned it off tonight as I’ve tired of all these people with soooo much money building their inconsequential boxes. Seems an anachronism now.

What if dog was one of us

This is deeply weird. But nice. I think

'Face of the Moon.' (1797) John Russell was the finest British pastel artist of his time. One of his sitters, the astronomer William Herschel encouraged him to buy a telescope, and with this he produced a number of remarkable pastel drawings of the moon.

Made the mistake of reading the news today. Its just depressing. We’re just so far away from talking about the stuff we NEED to talk about and instead have to constantly argue with utter bullshit… 😢

This is beyond stupid. They just won’t stop digging.

If you’re feeling a bit sad it might help a little to know that this painting exists. It’s called Dynamism of a dog on a leash, by Giacomo Galla, 1912:

Morning all. How about this - a picture my youngest did years ago to celebrate Wolfenoot (google it - you’ll be glad you did) #SundayPixPictures

Get to know your mutuals. 10 random things I like in no particular order. 1. Guitars 2. Lunch 3. The sea 4. Ceramics 5. Japanese things 6. Odd cars 7. Camping 8. Negronis 9. Women 10. Winter sunlight

Mild alcoholism has certainly met its match with Guinness 0%

They should keep the facade and a few key bits and then build modern facilities within Reichstag style. And in the meantime move Parliament to another city. Its a crumbling anachronistic wreck. Like much of the state.

"The cat scratched my groin when he saw that woman from Strictly" "Claudia Winkleman?" "No, man, but it was close"

Have patched up the fence and decided trying to drive anywhere today is a mistake, so gone for brunch instead.

A cover version of Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman" but sung in a regional Italian dialect and repurposed to be about fried cod and other fish? Yes, we've got one of those.

Superb!

Got excited phonecall from youngest earlier whose tutor had said nice things about her Spanish lit essay. Tonight shes performing doing Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours and on Saturday invited out by a nice second year. Think uni is going okay… 😍

I was completely in the right demographic to like the Wonder Stuff, but I really really didn’t. Felt like my generations Mumfords. #totp. Almost certainly unfair.

I love that Lisa Stansfield did a proper Barry White style muttered intro #totp

Definitely the best Janet Jackson track #totp

The Quireboys there enjoying their stint at being ‘the other band that sound a bit like the Stones’. Theres always one. #totp

Linda Ronstadt tho 😍 #totp

Philomena Cunk’s early career is often overlooked #totp
