I watched several people walk in and straight past them… criminal! X

I was there two hours and will be visiting again before the close of the exhibition. I was absolutely mesmerised by it x

Treated myself to a little day out today, it was so worth it! If you have time to visit the Andy Warhol - Portraits of America exhibition at the MK Gallery, I highly recommend it. “The idea is not to live forever; it is to create something that will.” ~ Andy Warhol

Tonight’s memory on repeat: That time I offered to cover an elderly gent’s shopping because he’d forgotten his wallet. Only £20 or so. Until he boshed 15 lucky dips for that night’s lotto on his bill. And I let him. 🤡

Friday nights are for dancing. Saturday mornings are for resting sore feet, fuzzy heads and wondering where the hell your voice has gone! Quadrophenia night was a hit! X

Happy birthday to the song that makes my heart go skippity skip every time I hear that lolling, lullaby intro… This song has bought me so much joy, and will continue to, forever more! 🤍 #SmallFaces #Afterglow

Very much subscribing to the theory that we are responsible for creating our own joy, and my calendar is beginning to reflect that. Valuable time, with valued people, at every available opportunity. I shall enter my 40’s with wonderful memories in the making ❤️ x

How did Mr Tumble sneakily recreating the cover to Black Sabbath's debut album escape me for so many years?

Somehow, seemingly overnight, we went from this to this… Happy sweet 16 to my baby girl Keavey! Articulate, bold, beautiful and fierce. Friday 13th may be unlucky for some but look what I was presented with… 🌸🩷🌸

I know I’m biased because she’s my babiest baby but she is gorgeous 💕🪩

Mate that kid could sing every rose’s track going but yeah… was just the radio at that point! We’re on some new era House vibe just now 🤣 x

Littlest turns 16 next week, so she’s throwing a house party tonight… She’s transformed the gaff! 🤩

Listen… it was the Uncanny podcast that caused this whole mess!! I can listen in the day time no problem but Monday night in bed I had to turn it off 🤣 Have had two nightmares since, woken at 3:13 and 03:33 respectively 😱 x

✨ A F T E R G L O W ✨ @afterglow85.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Horrendous, horribly vivid nightmare - the first in a very long time. Sleeping with the light on aged 39 + ¾ is quite something! X

There’s absolutely no hope for anyone that even thinks that making their own ladder is ok 🤣 x

Today would have been the 78th birthday of the late, great, Stephen Peter Marriott. Very few artists before or since have come close to his vocal prowess. A magnificent talent, and a prodigious legacy. Always remembered x 🩶🕯️🩶 📸 Fin Costello

January 102th. Beginning to strongly suspect have died and am stuck in purgatory. Guardian Angel is bald from stress and has a drink problem now. If anyone has seen my will to live bowling about the place hissing and spitting, please steer it this way. Much obliged! X

Absolutely in love with this Mary Quant double pin collar set… Fingers crossed she arrives for next week’s trip to Digbeth. 🤍🖤🤍

That’s purely because I’m not posting much. My days are anywhere between 9 and 14 hrs at the minute, my social battery is sitting at around 5%! Get winter out of the way and I’ll be back, I’m sure x

Anyone else find it difficult to delete expired digital tickets/passes in their “wallet”? In a world without paper tickets these serve as reminders of amazing times with brilliant people and I don’t want to delete them! X

Andy I’m fit to drop. I’ve never experienced this level of work before in my life. Determined to get through the winter but I’m dying for a proper break! X

All week I’ve sworn up and down I’d be 5 pints deep by 7pm on Friday despite working the weekend shift… I’m actually about to spend the evening horizontal with as much tea as is physiologically manageable. Love you bye x

They’re great for lots of things, just not about making me feel good about myself 😅 x

Nothing will humble you quicker than screwing your ring door bell back in place while it’s in night mode and you’re not wearing make up… Honestly. Fucking things should come with a self-esteem obliterator warning. X

I think I will Matt. Some lovely folk still over there but I’m hoping the migration will slowly continue x

Was a bit weird, that. Imagine doing that in real life at a restaurant? X

✨ A F T E R G L O W ✨ @afterglow85.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

Bit weird, wasn’t it. No time for men who get upset when you disagree with them or don’t fawn over their silliness. It’s tiresome. X

This evening has reminded me that I was having a much nicer time not posting there x

✨ A F T E R G L O W ✨ @afterglow85.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

Made the mistake of sticking my head in over there and was called an attention seeker, a cunt (without the capital C), a dick and a fud, amongst other things. It’s nice to have somewhere where people just behave better x
