It’s a classic theme, one of the seven songs in rock ‘n’ roll – the break up, lovers parting in glorious colour, and of course, in tragic black and white.. deanfrw.substack.com/p/wouldnt-do...

I live with Poppy the Cat, and we love and encourage one other. She isn’t a spiteful creature, but she does have a developed conscience. Where we used to live the chaos was much more built up, with lots of noise...

… Kurt Vonnegut then spoke to me, and I understood immediately something that was about to change us … We were all about to become totally fascinated by both conceptual and actual possibilities - not all bad, not all good; but we needed to understand it …

These were simple times, my friends, boys and girls, as we made our own scripts, living with ideas we’d just understood, watching without knowing that a take-over, digital world was about to totally replace our present, our past, slowly and inexorably evaporating the old times..

Anything can happen on a Saturday, and it really doesn’t matter what the weather is doing , because it’s Saturday (almost). Household obligations and the desire to sleep are the only things between you and this miracle domain of freedom... one more to lift your spirits :) deanfrw.substack.com

Happy World Sleep Day 🧘 I'm going to bed now, like Poppy the cat, for the rest of the day

Hello BlueSkyers - here's a true story from my early family days. I don’t remember ever asking for a budgerigar – in fact, the very first thing I ever asked for was a dragon, because of the cat that used to sleep on my feet in the pram. deanfrw.substack.com/p/billy-the-...

I don’t remember ever asking for a budgerigar – in fact, the very first thing I ever asked for was a dragon, because of the cat that used to sleep on my feet in the pram. I think the budgie was another family addition designed to lift my mood and prove my viability as a functioning human.

Hello freedom.. what happened? So, I’m not hanging around waiting for a miracle, nor standing waiting to be someone’s puppet. Sometimes I’m given tears, and when they come, I let them roll down my face. They decide it’s cry-time. If I’m upside down, my head gets wet.

Deek Deekster of funkpod.co.uk/podcast/ has just written: "For your enjoyment I offer a brief account of my existence, including how I survived being young and understanding the real meaning of ‘funk’ " deekdeekster.substack.com/p/real-funkp...

@lauryallison4.bsky.social the weather is pretty miserable country wide, and across much of the northern parts of this side of the North Atlantic Ocean

Well, I took part in the Podcasthon. I enjoyed it. So did Deek Deekster, but he's less demanding, he does does whatever comes to mind. I should persuade him to show up here, some time.

Podcasthon 2025

This is a “SHORT” runninng to 30 minutes and dedicated to the many who appreciate the Pod of Funk, alongside those who follow the international podcast collective action curated by Podcasthon.org. Powered by funky eclectic grooves and piloted by Deek Deekster, the world’s favourite funk podcast launches its best quickie into the funk heavens. As it assumes geostationary orbit, feel the funk create a better world, a world you no longer dreamed was possible. My people, your people, all the people in the world who are oppressed by the appalling state of humanity, the fragility of nature, bad food, spite, aggression, lack of amity, endless poverty, mindless greed, nugatory utterances from politicians, lies, lies, lies, joyless poverty, shameful exploitation, and no decent funk. This last one is the one I am able to correct, and I live my life in the knowledge that I have the funk, and I can give the funk to all those who need it.

For it is written:

“Blessed be the funky,

And the unfunky,

They too shall be blessed,

Just less funky.”

Tracklist to follow.

Celebrate International Women's Day 2025 ! These international women are from Bristol - I was looking for non-clichéd imagery and found them in the West country 🙂
