Don't often do politics on here... Loved many things I have heard from Andy Burnham today (and how it was said). And Lisa Nandy is coming across very well on C4 News RN.

The options are either head in the sand, or staying informed and head exploding. One day I'lll be smart enough not to opt for the latter & expecting a different outcome. Happy hump day I guess. 😏

Post a picture that should be an album cover. Now, what style of music / which artist should go with it... I reckon David Gray for this.

Post your most random picture. Don't think I can "improve" on Huw's, but stll... Fucked if I know?!? 🤔
A helmet of sorts in green with a black band in the middle from which multiple spiked "horns" sprout. There are back goggles on the helmet below the first "horn". It is resting on a pair of green Wellies and the 'display' is on a white surface. The wall is the same colour green as the helmet and Wellies.

Gone awfully quiet on here since I've muted Clackton, Farrage (all variations of), Tommy and Tate (again all variations of). I refuse to give that lot any oxygen. Wait. Does this mean I won't see my own post? Only one way to find out I suppose... 🤔

No 'occasion gifts' amongst my friends... If you see something with their "name" on it, they will get a gift. I'm ever so happy this had my name on it. How neat is this? By Sue Jowell, a South African artist which renders African motifs in brass, pewter, aluminium & patinated copper.

Enjoyed Bear Scott immensely... Didn't fall in love with a Bear this time, but with two Kelpies. New #nafftouristselfie profile pic obvs incoming.
The Kelpies - two mythical horse like creatures. They are in a dull silver metal and are pictured against a blue sky. The sculptures are of their heads only. The one on the left looks on almost in high alert. As you move around the sculptures, it is as if their look changes.A Kelpie chomping the sun.The Kelpies - two mythical horse like creatures.

I give you decent weather, an inability to do nothing and two fag breaks and the cleaning is well on its way. I reckon another 6-8 fag breaks and the deck will once again be summer ready. 👊
