Absolutely captivating 1987 documentary about identical twins Freda & Greta Chaplin who moved & spoke as one. A sensitively made exploration of their intense co-dependency, obsessive behaviour & complex shared life story youtu.be/eAD9YbPNbCw?...

Set your alarms for 7:19pm when the autumnal equinox marks the official start of autumn! 🍂 💡Did you know: the word 'equinox' comes from the Latin word aequus (equal) and nox (night)! 📸 Great Ridge, Chris Gilbert

Little hot house orchid of a dog under a brolly, having the briefest of widdles in what can only be described as Magnolia rain. #FloodWarning

It was the Laugharne Weekend. The journalist, whose identity I was a bit coy about revealing back in 2013, was Mark Ellen. He can eff off too.

Years ago I wrote this piece about national treasure and dreadful old c**t Peter Blake. Have just dredged it up for my new best friend @typetheclouds.bsky.social who had the good sense to buy my fucking book™ at the Hastings book fair. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/ja...

I’ve come to Hastings book fair to see the sea and sell a few books. Early indications are I may do neither. #BuyMyFuckingBook™

I love this podcast. Pick any episode, but perhaps this one is a timely place to start. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Tony the funeral pigeon update. Still waiting for feathers to grow back, b4 being released to a sanctuary. In the meantime a romance has blossomed with its cell mate. Theyve even build a vertical nest (see thread) which tho a beautiful thing, suggests a poor understanding of how these things work.

Top cat.

Tonight’s band having a bit of a pre-gig sing-song in the Rock’n’Roll B’n’B.

Regretting not buying these.

We had a lovely day out in Liverpool to see @wildtwin.bsky.social’s exhibition at Dorothy in Jamaica Street, and the site of my 1973 ear piercing in Williamson Square. I bloody love Liverpool and it’s only the absence of desolate moorland that prevents me moving back there tomorrow.

Gail knows her onions.

I’ll be at the Hastings Book Fair on Saturday 13th September, 11-4pm in the Observer Building, brandishing my fucking book. Hope to see some south coast Blueskyers, on my whirlwind one date tour. #BuyMyFuckingBook™

I cannot lie, the view disappoints. #EstateAgentPix

That Salvador Dali designed the Chupa Chups logo.

That the artist Jann Haworth did pretty much all the work on the Sgt Pepper album cover that Peter Blake generally takes/gets the credit for.

Tony the funeral pigeon seems very content, nodding off in the bosom of a teddy bear. #StopReleasingBirdsAtWeddingsAndFuneralsYouWankers

Tony the funeral pigeon update. On antibiotics. Is showing no inclination to fly off - happy to be shown around green house in the hand of bird rescue volunteer.

Funeral pigeon update. She’s survived the night & is pottering about. A small fundraiser has sorted trip to vet, prob for antibiotics. Looks like she’s been the victim of a bird attack - white ones struggle to survive in the wild. So if you’re planning on releasing 🕊️ for a wedding or funeral, DON’T.

For anyone acquainted with my book… I’ve found a poorly funeral pigeon. (Axe is purely coincidental.) #BuyMyFuckingBook™

Sad to hear Tosh Ryan has died - another cog in the M’chester music scene gone.Thinking about his partner Lindsay reminded me of the most unintentionally funny book I’ve read.The scene where she dances naked for some band hoping to sign to Factory should have made it into 24 Hr Party People for sure

Happy 9th birthday to this little guy. Licker of feet, rummager of handbags and the reason I rarely get to go to the lav alone. 🎈

The dog is very much in charge, musically.

I always leave a chocolate on the pillow when we have guests.

There’s a lovely mention of my fucking book on this week’s Locklisted. Thanks a milliam to @iammilliam.bsky.social and Dirk Bogarde for making it happen. #BuyMyFuckingBook™

Bag was getting heavy. Had a little clear out.

It’s Pride week at the Rock’n’Roll B’n’B. #WithWetDog

I might view this place just to find out what’s behind that curtain. #EstateAgentPix

Sometimes, the universe delivers.

A box of Simply Red gold and platinum discs at the dump, just screaming out to be a caption competition.

I don’t know how you’re spending this hot, sunny Sunday but stop whatever it is you’re doing & buy @wildtwin.bsky.social’s magical book. 212 pages of hiraeth. A Welsh word that all youze over 50s need to become acquainted with, cos once it kicks in nothing will shift it. #JeffYoung #GulliblesTravels

I would describe this seller as boundaried. #EstateAgentPix

No reason. Just felt my timeline needed cat pix.

My gallerist since 1982. I spent one of the happiest times of my life living rent free and making my own vulgar artworks in that mansion in Kent. Treadwell has been a thorn in the side of the art establishment for decades. Which is why we’ve always got on I suppose.
