Livie is the daily driver round here. That means she gets a tad neglected in the washing and polishing departnent. I put that to rights on Tuesday and now I feel guilty as she scrubs up really quite well.

But carry on adding gadgetry and buying cars from China or Elon instead of going back to basics because it will all be fine.

@parodypm.bsky.social arrived at Clacton last night on the paddle steamer Waverley. No welcome committee no, civic reception, not even an angry mob in primark balaclavas. Poor show all round. Just tumbleweed blowing through and a shut chip shop.

Brilliant day on the Waverley today. Down the Thames Estuary, into the North Sea then Southend and up the Blackwater to see Ross Revenge and then a coach back from Clacton. (No sign of Nige to greet us) Just dropped @janorak.bsky.social home after a fish and chip supper.

As many of you know I lost my wonderful wife Jan on the 23rd of last month. A third of the money we are raising in her memory is going to the RNLI. Given the events of the last few days I could not be more proud we made that choice. givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Electricals were a real investment back in the day. The £19.95 kettle given inflation should cost £131 today when in reality it is £19.95 still. On the face of it this may seem good, however it was made 10,000 miles away, not in the next town, is expected to last about a year and is unrepairable.

This is an outstanding period piece and a great thriller which also gave birth (and death) to George Dixon who came back in a Life on Mars kind of way in Dixon of Dock Green.

Doctor Who pitch? Sanjeev Bhaskar's Doctor, a fresh out of drama school Companion and an unreliable Tardis - at least one Mackenzie Crook written episode, some pure Historicals, a few present day small scale alien incursions and a finale that doesn't build to 'End of the Universe' stakes.

Sanjeev Bhaskar in a publicity shot for the TV show The Indian Doctor. He's wearing a cream linen suit and wearing a hat. Behind him, a Yorkshire mining pit.

Terrible traffic on our way back home from a personal errand tonight but Radio Caroline on 648KHz was a pleasant listen! Definitely got very weak by the time we did get home, though. But nevertheless I am to see a station filling the gap Absolute used to take for me on MW! 🙂

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.
