Look how much fun he's having! (Until Harty starts in on the Usual Questions bit...) and that look George gives when Paul says they make the decisions unanimously - ha! Great to see the Air mugs though. I have one of those! fb.watch/v/attIjVvMN/...

If we don't use our small poetry presses, we'll lose them. This is why I refuse to flinch or shy from asking you to purchase a copy of Whatever You Do, Just Don't, my second full collection. Here's a sample poem from the book. Just drop me a DM and I'll sort out a signed copy for you...

An absolute joy to be asked onto the #StillAnyGood pod this morning to talk 9 to 5 with Chris Webb and Rob Johnson. What a great start to my day, drinking cups of ambition, and paying tribute to Dolly.

Every time a housekeeper speaks in a book I'm reading, all I hear is Alison Steadman as Mrs Gosling in Gloomsbury. It's marvellous! #Gloomsbury

Finally ordered Revolution 9! It's been on my To Buy list since last August, but I was only allowed to buy more books once I'd read at least two thirds of my To Read shelf.

Make love, not war. Or tea. Actually, make tea first. And would it kill you to put a bit of toast on? In summary, make tea, then toast, then love, then war. No, wait, not war. Don’t make war at all.

Thanks to @BBCRadio4, I now have a Rasputin earworm, so I’m trying to combat it by rewriting all the lyrics. So far, I have: Some people looked at him with horror and with fear, ‘Cause he stank of chips and drank his body weight in beer.

Mr Aimless just came and laid on my bed. 'Only one other man could lie on your bed,' he said. 'Paul McCartney.' 'If Paul McCartney wants to lie on my bed,' I said, 'he can have my bed and I would lie on the floor in a draughty corridor so that he was comfortable.' Mr A nodded. He understands.

Mr Aimless spent a good part of a car journey yesterday trying to convince me that had John Lennon not been murdered, the Beatles would have got back together for Live Aid. I was not convinced. What do the good folk of Bluesky Beatles think?
