Anyone open their bank account 132 times/day to see if unexpected windfalls landed?

Today is my 51st birthday. And I *still* have teenaged spots. People used to say (back when people had views on me), “don’t worry, your oily skin will age well”. But as well as having teenaged spots, I also look old and worn. #happybirthdaytome

Poor old Ed Sheeran not having good time. Were I he I’d simply retreat to Suffolk. Nice walk each day. Pop out for lunch. Bit of shopping. Etc

Do you like my book covers? Designed them myself. What’s driving me toward the end of my current WIP, if I’m honest, is the prospect of designing another. As good a motivation as any, I suppose…

A nice Saturday. A wander around bustling Canterbury this morning. Bit of writing and music this arvo. Periodically checking KDP, seeing KENP tick nicely up, knowing there are strangers out there investing their time in my work. Thanks to them!

Anyone read The Ten Human Types by Dexter Dias? Is bloody good. Really like the impressionistic weaving of the science, reflection, and supporting tales- quite genre-busting. Worth buying- and if not keen can simply use as doorstop.

As a culture, we've lost the scene where a kid cycles through his small town to set the scene while a jaunty version of the main theme plays.

Ravi Shankar on headphones and contemplation of the river Medway. I can only sit still for ten minutes, the cares of the world drawing me back!

The most magical two seconds in pop music

It’s amazing to think that we can pinpoint the most magical two seconds in pop music, which occur exactly one minute into ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ by The Beatles, as Take 7 melts into Take 26. L…

Is Chris Mason’s tie some sort of protest or reference at Reform conference? Or is it simply a pink glittery tie?

It’s fascinating seeing a Beatle in action, at any age. I like how very experienced musicians become understated in time, just as writers, artists, architects, philosophers, bus drivers, woodworkers- anyone, in fact, does.

Last night I gave a ride to couple with a newborn, Dareth Hospital to Rochester. Their first. Was lovely to hear cooing excitement all the way down the A2- though driving new babies does make one focus on the road. I remember that, each in turn, with my three- long time ago now.

Going through my granddad's diaries. At 9am on NYD 1992, he was queueing outside Texas Homecare to buy a new toilet seat. He then drove home, went back to bed for 3 hours, watched The Guns of Navarone, had dinner, watched Taggart then got back in bed to write his diary. I envy most of this.

Joan Miró / The Farm, 1921-1922 I remember seeing a reproduction of this painting in a book when I was a child — and falling in love with it

A mite ruffled by having received a wordless 1⭐️ for Book of Jobs…. But I notice Catch 22 has a brace of them! Ok, can’t please everybody - and let’s face it; wouldn’t want to…

My book now at #35 in Regional UK Biographies (is clearly labelled memoir). Still, beating Nelson.

My Book of Jobs is #45 in Regional UK Biographies (it’s a memoir). I think it might be time to place “Sunday Times Best Seller” on the cover…

I’m very happy to announce the publication of BOOK of JOBS, a wry & philosophical memoir of the many many jobs I had between the ages of 16 and 42. It’s dedicated to @kitdewaal.com as she provided much encouragement to me in the writing. Thank you! My book is available on Amazon: amzn.eu/d/2FCjLZL

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Sad about Rob Reiner and his wife passing. As a teen, me and wannabe rockstar friends knew every single line of Spinal Tap. As far as his audience were concerned, he only brought joy. RIP.
