Tonight's SOLD OUT Seattle show at Triple Door starts at 7:30 sharp (there is a hard curfew). Don't miss Rattlesnakes!

Best American breakfast in America, that I'm aware of. At a Greek restaurant, in Seattle. This morning's meal was perfect in every way.

That was two months in the attic and my ears are, indeed, weary. I take a break to tour the W. Coast, now. Then it will be the final push, Nov/Dec. You can read about all of this, in my studio journal, if you like, at Substack. lloydcole.substack.com/p/studio-jou...

I don't hate anyone I don't know well. Except maybe that one person. But I do find myself lacking sympathy and empathy for those who open sentences with 'Spose'.

This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

Almost every time I open a Laughing Cow triangle I'm amazed by its fantastic design. Maybe there is hope for humankind. Usually it's first thing in the morning and shortly thereafter I open the newspaper and then all hope is dashed.

What a wonderful afternoon we had at Pitlochry Golf!! Such a fabulous FUN course! Gary, the pro, showed us around & showed us how the game should be played. Not that we learned. Mike & I finished all square so the series was tied 2.5 - 2.5.

I’m 12 years late, but better late than never. This is fantastic. Odd, wrong, but absolutely right. And for once, I agree with Pitchfork, who made this their 2014 song of the year - www.youtube.com/watch?v=upPl...

Yes, visiting The Isle Of Man a little bit like being in an episode of Life On Mars, but as per the show, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have a show tonight at The Gaiety, just along from the Norman Wisdom statue. villagaiety.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Fabulous day, today, at Carlow Golf Club. Photos do not do it justice. Mostly I'm unmoved by parkland golf. Not at Carlow! It plays closer to a heathland course, but no heather... Brilliant routing on fantastic terrain. Feel very lucky to have experienced Carlow. Also, I won.
