“All I want is to live in peace, plant potatoes and dream”. Sadly, however, bills need paid so I’m an arts marketer, amateur singer, slow-but-trying runner & keen cook.

This time last week I was in London with my Mum and on the Saturday afternoon we went to the V&A, wherein I discovered that @dionnewarwick.bsky.social played my home town’s cinema in 1983, when I was 7. A week on and I’m still boggled. Dionne! Warwick! In the grubby Tonic!!!! WHAAAAAAT?????

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

I have been squinting and muttering about reading on my work iPad for weeks. It's *amazing* the difference just turning up the brightness of the screen makes #massiveidiot

Having finished @jancarsonwrites.bsky.social's latest, Few And Far Between (HARD recommend), Tom's book Everything Will Swallow You is next and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. Tom's had an horrific time of it of late, so do investigate his brilliant writing at www.tom-cox.com

God, I love Top of the Pops night on BBC4. The ridiculous and wide-ranging conversations that ensue.

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.

Is it wrong to hope Messi ends his international career by assassinating Trump when he goes up for his runner up medal?

Messi is like the soft-spoken gang boss who says things like, “While I personally abhor violence, some of my associates may be less fastidious.”

Galway United used to raffle a hamper of meat at half time and it was more entertaining than this.

I have been using the good weather to finally sort my laundry pile, with the intention of doing a massive clothes clear out at the weekend. Before I simply haul the cast offs to the nearest charity shop, has anyone any better ideas for what to do with them? Will be in good nick. Belfast area, please

If you feel a bit like me and massively helpless at the absolute fucking racist scumbaggery happening in NI right now, here’s something that feels like it’ll make a difference where it matters:

Watching the Masterchef final. I’ve just noticed that I actually take Anna’s assessments of each chef seriously; like I feel that she’s actually been paying attention and assessing them as they’ve gone through. Nice.

It is a sign of how tired I am that I just looked over at @solar76.bsky.social’s jumper on a chair and thought it was Dexter, the cat from 3 doors down who comes to hang out. It would not be unusual for him to be there, it’s one of his spots, but he has not called tonight and absolutely I know this.

The Beetroot of the Beast. I know it looks like liver, but I promise it’s beetroot. Maybe, given its shape-shifting appearance, it’s only fitting that it’s satanic.

My choir were singing tonight - Brahms German Requiem; an absolutely dreamy piece & fab for altos. I got the best compliment from tonight’s conductor, who told our chorus director that my connection with him was so good I gave him confidence to conduct & I am an exemplary chorister. BUZZING!

Friends fear she is yapping about choral music again... wow, but it's an unflattering freeze frame of me. Tomorrow we have a *dreamy* concert. If you're in Belfast, come! youtube.com/shorts/MZQtu...

I don’t think this stat will ever not be shocking. I’ve been doing training with the brilliant @nacoauk.bsky.social so I can give presentations about having a parent who drinks too much and the support Nacoa offers. If you’re in NI and work in a scenario where this might be useful, lemme know!

If you're looking for something interesting on Bandcamp Friday, how about some 90s house and techno that meets retro futurist ambient electronic?

In an astonishing turn of events, I have finally published another blog post, about The Dangerfields, local gigs and community. Hiatus was in part because I’ve switched platform from Substack (disappointingly Bad Guys) to Ghost, though you should notice no difference. Link to the new post is:

When I moved back to Belfast, Dangerfields gigs were one of the first things that became a regular... it was about finding my feet in a city I’d left nearly 10 years previously.

My Mum found my P1 (first year of junior school) workbooks, and my Tufty Club record. Oh my, the 1981ness of the Easter cards…
A child’s drawing of a person with Easter Eggs in front of them. The child was 4 so both Easter Eggs and person are very colourful, but barely recognisable. Below it the child has written ‘Today we made Easter cards. We stuck soup mixture on them’. It has been marked - rather harshly - as ‘Good’ in red pen. Miriam’s Tufty Club attendance card. She/I collected all twelve road safety stickers, which feature all the Tufty Club cartoon characters, who are cartoon British woodland animals. Other than Tufty, a red squirrel, I can only remember that the weasel was called Willy.

So, Himself has made an album and I may be biased, but I think it’s fab. He describes it as retro-futurist tech-house that sounds like it was made in 1997. Out this day next week; details below…

For two days running, BlueSky has had me on the verge of a disgrace-inducing hearty guffaw in the office. Yesterday, it was @judasdjs.bsky.social's phrase 'beginning to look like a cubist experiment'. Today it's 'sentient fucking saucepan'. Thank you both for your work...

I was only just yesterday talking with my hairdresser about section 28 & how wonderful it is now to see kids wearing pride badges on their school blazers and bags when only a generation ago repression & anti LGBT+ bullying was state mandated at school. I refuse to cede an inch backwards.
