Can’t be a hundred percent sure, obviously, but let’s say I’m “pretty sure” my wife wasn’t a huge fan of that very loud singalong to “Achilles Last Stand” (with associated head-waving) that just happened in the living room.

The hard frost here this morning has made me cry. Come on Geoff, for goodness sake.

Just used the phrase “I have been denied my parsnips” in a conversation with my wife.

Tom Paxton, Gilbert & Sullivan, Joan Baez, The Corries, The Dubliners, Bridge Over Trouble Water, Edith Piaf, John Denver, Graceland, Roger Miller, Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night, the first Now tape, Rum, Sodomy & the Lash, Francoise Hardy, Billy Connolly, The Eagles, Mireille Mathieu, Medikassets.

One of my favourite things to do is watch bushcraft and hiking videos on YouTube. I like seeing how the chaps who know what they’re doing out there go about things. But my new favourite is This Guy who is supersweet but just not very good at this stuff. God bless him. youtu.be/cS4W0IC11iw?...

I would like to second Hearty’s recommendation here. If you’ve not listened to Miracle Nutrition before then you really need to. It won’t be for all of you but for some of you it may be The Very Thing. Get it as a podcast or on WFMU here: wfmu.org/playlists/HA

Our village bus stop is a curated and loving place. Today there’s a colourful warm hat there for anyone who needs one. 🤗

Morning youtu.be/vlmGknvr_Pg?...

I’m still incredibly sad. Misery does love company though so I’m happy for anyone reading this to drop in for a cuppa (as long as you bring at least two large bags of Peanut M&Ms). See you and your lovely nutty snacks soon.

I think my new rule of podcast listening is just listen to interviews with Tim Key and forget literally everything else.

Today I am mainly trying to cheer myself up by remembering Norma and Shelly’s Day of Beauty.

Good morning. youtu.be/bhUW7A3qjY4?...

Just had the Jehovah’s Witnesses at the door now. #nottodayladies

Heartbroken today as Seamus was taken ill last night and we had to say goodbye to him this morning. I’m absolutely broken.

Good morning from me and this massively under appreciated indie banger. youtu.be/l3vWbGr-EUk?...

Not one but two kind anonymous donors. Thank you, that’s so kind. Bless yous. 🙏

Okay, I still need to hit my big target of 1 (one) donation a week to keep my mojo alive. I don’t like running every day. It’s making my running worse and I would like to stop But I’ve started something now so I can’t stop until it’s done Can you spare £3 to help Medical Aid for Palestinians? 🙏

Fifty days into my running challenge now. Into my 8th week of this now so I’m looking for my 8th donation. Secure YOUR place in heaven now by clicking the link and donating a fiver! A bargain (the best you ever had). www.justgiving.com/page/geoff-m...

Good morning! And it is a good morning as I’ve woken up thinking about my favourite @vizcomic.bsky.social story of all time.

Good morning. My recommendation for today is to have a cheeky listen to your favourite album when you were eighteen and let that nonsense take you right back. 👍🏻 youtu.be/ZeWID6qQmjk?...

I have a kinda low level crush on Fake Melania.

“Hey there The Temptations, I think I’ve got this mix exactly pretty perfect now. How about I add in seven seconds or so of nasty sounding seagulls early doors to finish it off?” youtu.be/keDpxp892Og?...

Doing more induction training and today I have learned that this is the warning symbol for “gas under pressure” and not, as I had previously thought , “boring minority sport that can last up to five days”.

This happens sometimes but we’ve now got three “sheep with character” in the field next to the house. These guys shout at us and demand snacks anytime we come out and hungrily stick their heads through the fence. Totally unafraid of the daft dog also. Fun sheep! Good guys!

Playing the closing theme to Camberwick Green, just because everything is awful and it blocks things out momentarily

I’m against murder.

Currently watching a training video for the new job on the horrors of child abuse. Naturally, this is a brightly coloured cartoon presentation, soundtracked with a cheery, upbeat score of jaunty production music.

I’ve just started a new job which kinda requires me to go back to all the horrible onlines places I’ve tried desperately to avoid (LinkedIn, Facebook, Teams, etc).

I JUST MET A RED SQUIRREL! 🐿️ www.justgiving.com/page/geoff-m...

Just stuck this tent up in the garden. Stepped inside to find a massive slit cut in the floor. Great!

Skeet a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana.

Good morning. I’ve just hit the listening to “Caravan” level of Sunday morning coffee intake. oh yeah youtu.be/44wDwMQVqCc?...

I went back.

Very sorry to hear that Mark Volman (“Flo” of Flo & Eddie) from The Turtles has died. I always loved The Turtles and “Live from Fillmore East” is *still* the Frank Zappa record that gives me the biggest kick, the warm glow when “Happy Together” kicks in is 👌🏻 Rest in peace fella. #mudshark

I’ll repost this until some kind soul makes a wee donation. I’m running (at least) 5k every day for a year for Medical Aid for Palestinians. It’s minging running every day. The last two weeks I’ve had a cough and a kind of flu thing but I’ve been forcing myself to run anyway. £3 donation anyone?

Got to go to the vet’s to collect the dog’s medicine. Please don’t let the candle be lit… 🙏

Good morning. I’m now six weeks into my year-long running challenge and I’m keen to add at least one donation a week so if someone would like to chuck a fiver in here to help a very good cause that would be lovely. www.justgiving.com/page/geoff-m...

Levy! On a jet plane! #COYS www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2025/se...

More of this please, people with access to live TV audiences.

Good morning.

Decent chance that Rylan gets this gig.

Good morning. youtu.be/aQDzlpAbLfE?...

Today I learned that I need to take MUCH MORE CARE picking up the dog poo from the back garden before strimming back the long grass.

Good morning. I really hope you have a nice day.

comp time! we've got a pair of tickets to give away for Shame's gig in Glasgow on 16th November. re-post to win! we'll pick a winner on Friday. @deadoceans.bsky.social

My wife’s just told me that hamsters don’t have eyelids.

When I Kissed The Tigra #abbacars

Sorely tempted to buy this Spurs 2010 calendar on eBay purely for April and this note in the listing: “Please note a child has scribbled beard and glasses on Vedran Corluka’s face .” Lovely stuff. #COYS ebay.us/m/KLWg4K

Mikey Moore starting an Old Firm game. THIS is the future liberals want. #COYS

Think I might listen to the first Tears For Fears album. I’ll let you know how I get on.
