Today I helped a postman deliver some parcels. He didn't know the address. You could see that as a negative thing, but that's not going to get the parcels delivered is it?

Monday, then. I am a bit low voltage, but I've got a feeling it'll be a good day - and I hope you have one too x

Conna beat a great scarecrow competition but I must make sure I'm not out in the front garden when they come round as it could be embarrassing.

Yay it's a heat spike, apparently not a heat wave. It's a bit stickier today. Ugh.

I opened a bag of Monster Munch to find out there were 9 Monster Munches in there. I was in difficult territory. Almost "I need another bag" territory.

When your friend is on the phone and you are expected to come up with the answer as to why there isn't a vibrant live music scene locally. Also why I should be signing with Lost Map Records apparently. As if I have any product worth putting out at the moment 😂

If you got over the procrastination and did one small creative thing everyday, in just a few days just think of the beautiful things you've made. Small steps, big moves.

The thing about blackberries, it's hard to get them. Having long and skinny arms gives me an advantage.

Gig for me, tomorrow 8.30 at Albert’s Shed Telford. Supporting the very fine The Undercover Hippy. So if you like hippy, happy and potentially trippy but never dippy or slippy, it’s the place to be 😍

Another nightmare last night, now my legs hurt so bad I couldn’t find a position to sleep in without discomfort. And I thought I was getting clear of whatever-this-virus-is. Awful 2025 so far…

I’m cautiously optimistic the worst of the bug may be over. If this is the case, then phew! It’s been rough. If it’s regrouping for another go tomorrow, then oh-oh, it already feels like a tough episode of Sharpe.

Starting the year with something very flu-like (even tho I’ve had a jab) wasn’t my best deal way to start the year. Ouch.

Out on my bike the last 2 days, it’s a weird Christmas this time, finding its feet after well, forever. On & up 😍😍

I like Sky Arts’ ‘Portrait/Landscape Artist Of The Year’. I think I like the disgruntled comments on the Facebook page even better though. Sheer unbridled hilarious joy 🤩 😂

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

@cyclinguk.bsky.social your Marcher Castles Way article in the magazine. P38. There hasn’t been a railway station in Ironbridge for 60 years or so. (It’s a car park now) Just thought you’d like to know.

I only just managed to get up in time today and have since spent 30 mins of my wastrel life disassembling cardboard boxes for the recycling. I think we should get a special ‘festive edition’ of the cardboard recycling sack (i.e. a flipping huge one, probably on its own wheels)

Original artist singer-songwriter always looking for gigs (Shropshire). Totally becalmed now, crowded out in the usual social media frenzy. Clubs, festivals, supports. Not too keen on pub karaoke style though. Looking forward to ‘25.
