The mention of Bond is telling; if ever a tired dated brand needed “resting” (at least), it’s that one. But then I’m not a Bond fan. I am a Who fan, though, and frankly I think the best thing that could be done for it is to just leave it alone for a while. It shouldn’t be on tv “just because”.

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

All metalheads of a certain age will remember Venom, a ramshackle “black metal” band that predated the term itself; Black Metal is the title of their second album from 1982! Providing undeniable inspiration to the young spotty Metallica and Slayer, their influence is immeasurable. 1/2

Strange clouds and quite eerie colours this morning on Glastonbury Tor. This photo was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise. It was quite misty on the ground and very hazy but still made for a lovely way to start the week.

God. What is the f**king point, really? Do we ever progress? Do we ever move forward? Or is it all one miserable shitty circle, and it just depends whereabouts on that circle line we happen to be at any given time? Yes yes, hope springs eternal etc but it’s hard to see it sometimes.

Golden Wednesday. That was quite an unexpected end to my morning walk. After going up Glastonbury Tor in torrential rain, I was on my way home and the sky cleared in seconds!

“What did I just watch???” - our eldest, after watching Leonard Betts for the first time (Season 4, Episode 12). Quite a wild monster of the week episode, even by #xfiles standards!

Sometimes it’s just so satisfying when someone shares the same (possibly unpopular) opinion as you. Last time I went for a drink with Nigel he suddenly blurts out “oh my f**king god The Mission were so BORING”

Maybe I’m being naive, but isn’t the likelihood of this sort of thing happening quite a significant disincentive to attempting to colonise the moon?

The cloud bank shrouding the moon just now gave it the appearance of a giant silver eye. I hope you can see it from where you are, perhaps also accompanied by Arcturus, Vega and Altair.

A question came up at work that I had never considered before…what would be your detective style?? I would like to say Suchet’s Poirot or Cumberbatch’s Sherlock but it would most likely be Columbo. Deceptively disorganised, but annoyingly persistent.

Sometimes I like to indulge in reverse nostalgia, such as “isn’t it lovely Will Self isn’t on tv any more”, or “wasn’t it wonderful when Clive Anderson Talks Back finally ended”. Because it’s good to remind yourself that a) not everything in the past was any good and b) things do actually improve.

I haven’t smoked in maybe 20 years now. Occasionally I miss being young enough to be in a position to smoke all day and damn the consequences. Mind you, if you handed me a pouch of Golden Virginia and a packet of green Rizlas right now I reckon I could still roll you a perfect cig.
