Sat watching 1970s Columbo and drinking gin and tonic. That's a proper Sunday afternoon.

According to Avant-garde Howard, this record "shits on Dark Side of the Moon".

My first visit to Hyde Park Picture House since it's refurb, and a chance to catch a film I've wanted to see for years. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon.
Film title card for Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains. Part of Leeds Cinema Crawl.

This is an amazing time capsule. A band attempting to make it, without knowing that within the next six months the whole music landscape would change.

I went to shop at Poole HQ to buy a cap today, it was packed. Took 5 minutes to be served, people in front of me spent £300. The best of Britain 🇬🇧

Spencer Place, Leeds, 1979. My street but not my house. A fine street in the heart of Ripper Country unfortunately. Classic evidence of ‘money moving up the road’ as things tighten in the centre.

Today's lunch walk through Harehills Park. Signs of autumn are definitely here.
Green leafed tree next to a footpath. There are some dead leaves on the ground.

Ach, you know what? Why not. Here’s Alan Bennett’s closing monologue from ‘On the Margin’, missing for nearly 60 years, and found on a Sony CV2000 tape in the Galton and Simpson archive You, dear viewer, are one of the few people ever to have seen this. Enjoy! discover.york.ac.uk/collections/...

I once met Joe Strummer at a signing. In the queue I was thinking of all these clever questions to ask about The Clash. When I met him, nerves hit and the best I came out with was "I didn't put you as a cider drinker" as he had a can of Strongbow.

A suitable image for #GlobalBeatlesDay 🍦
The album cover for "Abbey Road" by The Beatles which shows the Fab Four using the zebra crossing outside what was then EMI Studios on Abbey Road. They are now queuing up for an ice-cream from the Mister Whippy van that's stopped on the crossing. John's reaching out for a 99 Flake. Delicious.
