Filmed something today that we will never do. Sorry about the quality, I seem to have gone downhill since we had a Video 8 camera in the 90s.

Back home tomorrow. It's been lovely under the big skies. And we will miss our cabin in the woods.

Yet again here's the easy to use fixture list for the 3rd Round* *Not the poncy 'Round of 16'. It might be the 2nd Round if the groups were a qualifying stage. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I'm sorry and I know I sound like an old fart or an High Court Judge (or both) but two of the top five stories on the BBC News website are T***** S**** or Prince H****. Just stop it. You used to be better. Try harder.

I shall be wearing my Stanley Green T-shirt today. If you see me and are carrying a copy of the Daily Messenger I will give you a ten-bob note. #KollyKibber

Is there a name for the slight melancholy you get the day before you go home from a wonderful holiday? Checking the Meaning Of Liff.

A little bit of Lincolnshire record shopping today. A bit of 70s Scott, and some Françoise Hardy, a ISB album I've never seen before and Centipede who incredibly I was reading about last night.

Birmingham. Around it a few times but never gone in.

This is brilliant, sad, and baffling.

Good old Kane! #PaperingOverTheCracks #EngDRC #WorldCup

We've been coming up here for years and years and this record shop has never been open in all that time. In my mind it's full of Nick Drake first presses, Vertigo swirls, low numbered White Albums, mono of course. Stuff like that and all at bargain prices! But I'll never know.

The bonkers and slightly creepy antique shop in Sutton on Sea.

A fine day over the Arnold Palmer Putting and Adventure Golf.

I'll just claimed four delay repay payments before 7.30am! And that's probably it for the day, knackered.

Thanks to @jamesmckz.bsky.social for reminding me about Spin It in Hull. We had a lovely day in the city wandering around. And I bought back some great finds.

Thanks everyone for your lovely birthday wishes, very much appreciated. There were records and books at the fair.

I'd like to thank the organisers for putting on this massive antique fair on my birthday. And for arranging some lovely and cooler weather.

And here's the Spotify version of my 61 years of Pop birthday playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/76Z...

I shared this a year ago on my birthday and here it is again with an extra track and a tweaked title. tidal.com/playlist/222...

On the Roman Roads. Wild flower meadow on Roman Roads Sandhills in Meols.

Here's the nice easy to read schedule for the last 32 matches. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

A lovely record fair today. And one of my favourite people was there. Cheap CD man* *A different cheap CD man from the one I normally deal with but still very good.

Some ominous vistas in big sky county.

Here it is!

Tram time!

Stewart Lee and record shops. Finally! A video just for me. But others may get some enjoyment as well! youtu.be/xN2X_RImdZ8?...

Can't wait for this. @nigetassell.bsky.social never lets you down.

Not too bad at the moment. A storm is on its way apparently.

Hot? On fire? Get to Mablethorpe pronto. 20c, quite cloudy, cool breeze. It's lovely. #WotHeatwave

As usual the charity, antique and record shops of Louth and Horncastle come up trumps again. A £2 mint (not the cover) upgrade copy of Watertown, a lovely Bonnie Dobson from under the counter (you have to ask for the special box) at the ramshackle antique shop. And a load of 50p books. A lovely day.

Am just about to buy some more vinyl. Possibly.

Just bought 3 vinyl records and am attempting to get them back while they are still flat. #ThoughtsAndPrayers

*Four* holes in one and Jo still beat me! #WentToPieces

How would you like your stake?

Practicing for next year's retirement by having lunch in a garden centre.

Bit like Richard Todd (second guy out of the gliders and onto Pegasus bridge during D-Day) being asked to play himself in The Longest Day. He refused, saying: "I think after all this time I've earned a promotion" so he played Major Howard, acting opposite someone else playing himself.

When Chris Mason stands for Reform at the next election are we allowed to sue the BBC?

Stopped on the way up the country in one of our favourite places

I just learnt this fact a couple of weeks ago via a good "making of" doc from 2001 which is up on BBC iPlayer at the moment: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002wz41

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Go on then. It's too hot to have any original thoughts.

What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round? The Door Into Summer You Just May Be the One Randy Scouse Git Circle Sky.

#NowWatching I have problems with this of course, some of the politics, it's very soapy in places but there is a charm, humour and at times it's very black. And Celia Johnson gives one of the great performances.

Car boot report. Sunny, warm, filling up.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #WorldCup on mute* and this playing. A perfect start to two weeks off. *It's the only way sometimes.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky After an incredibly shitty day at work, I need a holiday (it's coming up!) and some comfort music. And this is perfect.

The Groundhogs are the most underrated band to have ever existed. Bite me.

Why is the week before a fortnights holiday 12 days long? It should be Sunday today surely.
