Disappointed to have been blocked by someone for no reason. Tried to call and text to ascertain why but also blocked there. People eh?

I can’t remember when, where or how but I recall seeing Alison Moyet do perform an acoustic, almost acappella version of ‘Is this Love?’ and it was brilliant

We enter Shabbat this week in contemplation on how to be in continued solidarity with all people. As we watched the Trump regime’s outrageous attacks on Ilhan Omar, we recognized that kind of abuse of government power and targeting of political opponents is exactly how fascists operate.

I still wear regularly jeans that are 20, 18, and 16 years old respectively. Okay, they’re ripped, threadbare and faded but I don’t care. My only suit is 26 years old, my dinner suit 25, and I’ve a ‘sports jacket’ over 30 years

Was photographing an event hosted by Avoca once for Women in Business or something along those lines One of the family of the then owners was profuse in her thanks and presented me with a voucher for 50% off. When I saw price I’d manned a 99% off discount to afford the jumper I fancied 😇
