It’s my younger brother’s birthday today, and at lunchtime his wife invited me to see a comedian with him at Leeds City Varieties tonight. Never heard of the comedian and I feel like I was the last resort. Let’s see how it goes🤞🏻

Big fan of decent album launch show. Not a big fan of having to pay for postage when the record shop is nearby. #MusicSky

Really enjoyed PSB at Ally Pally this weekend (even if my trotters didn’t). This ticket was from the first time I went to see them in 2021. Shame I missed them at The Piece Hall over summer. #TicketStubWed #MusicSky
