Thought I'd have a go at this. Doubtless it will change tomorrow, and I'm sorry to ask those I've left out...

My nine albums

Been rescuing treasure from the loft & garage!

LP record of "Sextet" by A Certain Ratio. Haven't played it in as near as dammit thirty years. And I'm transported back Xxx

Hey #stroud Why not come and try a little light capering and cavorting!

Arrived yesterday. Thanks for the nudge.

Very pleased with new t shirt... Should be equally applicable to media, politics, sportsing, bad haircuts, othering and patriarchal ghastlinesses of all types. Also regularly applicable to my kitchen endeavours.

Just finished making myself a waxed cotton jacket. Really quite pleased with it. Merchant&Mills pattern, 3m of waxed cotton and same again for the lining.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

#Oberra in Norrebro, CPH. Gorgeous tasting menu, I won't gurgle excitedly, but the monkfish/leeks and the squid with strawberry vinaigrette were fab. (The gnocchi didn't stay on the plate long enough to be photographed but were delicious) Would love to go back, anyone?

Bloody lovely... Thanks #wokshop Osterbro

Red Panang Salmon Curry from Wokshop Osterbro. Most definitely recommended!

Sun rise safely secured. Am now back in bed having driven, danced, sung, driven and heartily breakfasted... Phew!

Superb night in Manchester with Doves and the irrepressible James. Even some footage of Morris dancing on the video for 'I know what I'm here for' as a special treat!

A better man than me would probably recognise the sides and traditions...

I know what I'm here for...

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Ah yes, I thought it sounded familiar...

Excellent news, my dealer has come through with the goods!

011

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

And the (first) tricky part is over...

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

The plan is to repurpose this old sleeping bag into a kind of retro puffer cagoule. We'll see...

New project incoming...

You may notice, dear reader, that one of the more alluring and enrapturing of the Morris Dancers looks strangely familiar... But don't let his intense, intoxicating and brooding screen presence distract you from a moving feel-good story...

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

Wow. Here is some Christmas coast near Rye feeling like -6.

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Well... Either that's my Amazon delivery making it's final approach before landing, or there's something unexpected among tomorrow's Christmas cards!

Watching the football last night, I'm not sure my subtitles have quite synched correctly.

Brentford FC manager emerges for the second half at Man City, subtitles on screen say "She's Keira Knightly".

AITA? Browsing idly for t shirts and I just can't seem to stop shouting "Fewer!" at my phone.

#choreavoidance Instead of cleaning the kitchen and vacuuming the stairs, I am making a pair of trousers out of an old duvet cover.

My apples always begin to show this gorgeous pink blush as it turns from summer to autumn. I still don't know the variety...

Clivedon. Nice walk. Lunch was not stolen by avian thugs.

Hmmm. Think my lawnmower blade may well be fubar.

040

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Ok. A bit niche as celebrities go...

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

Couldn't agree more!

A piece of Alp. At this rate I'll have a transplanted mountain on my mantlepiece within the next couple of millennia.

I'm thinking that on reflection today wasn't the best afternoon to decide to buy, paint and fix trellis (to a south facing front wall). <Melting into a small puddle>

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Froggy chum couldn't get out of my watering can yesterday. Not sure how long they'd been in there. I helped him/her into the dark dank undergrowth. Good deed for the day xB

Ian @bils.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Thanks for all the advice. Brownies were a big success at the Rollright Stones last night. There was much cake, much laughter and many hugs. Oh and some dancing too... #MiserdenMorris #BossMorris

Thank you all for giving me the confidence to have a go! <proud>
