Well, Dolly has departed and I wish her Bon voyage on her next journey. What an icon, such an achievement from her humble background to the world stage. On top of her songwriting abilities and charities she was down to earth joking about her wigs and body shape. No ego just talent

Another mini heatwave, and partial eclipse tonight. Hopefully next week we start to get some rain, as it’s due!

Garden under the soft late evening sun light, the grass is scorched, bleached by the sun and desperate for nutritious rain.

Another heat wave coming along, I swear since leaving work the world has caught fire!

No where near as bad as in other places in Europe!

Got this painting back over the fire place, it feels more homely Also stuck Jimi back up on the wall towards the studio, good to have him back!

Heat wave over, grass cut and all cherries from trees have been eaten by greedy birds. I can see the young black birds are having a little nibble on a few tiny and very sour apples that fell from tree.

Getting used to early retirement, last Friday was my last commute and not missing it! Enjoying my old commute time by sitting on patio and having a coffee watching all the song birds having cherries for breakfast and wood pigeons building their nests.

Might have been 13 or 14 here, forced out into the freezing garden by my parents to measure the snow! My old man rang up their local news station after they said we had a light dusting of snow to let them know they were wrong and could they let people know Paul in Wiltshire has 10 inches!

I’m surprised nobody has noticed this but before the Washington assassination attempt Donald wowed the wine guzzling journalists with a spectacular display of cock magic that climaxed with him letting go of the napkin and saluting. Randy from South Park would have been impressed! #Trump

Another alledged assassination attempt on Donald, with speculation yet again about the suspect in custody’s political leanings. Perhaps it’s not political Media could cover all angles including him being a Russian asset Him being in Epstein files and covering them up Stock market manipulation

Good morning everyone, yesterday was a frosty start to the day and I had to leave the car idling to clear the windscreen. This morning I got up and thought you ain’t catching me out again and went out earlier to warm car up. Very cold but no frost, Mother Nature did indeed catch me out!

I remember some wise words from my grandfather this morning. “Hey schmuck, come here and learn something” He wasn’t Jewish but this joke sounds like Eddie Murphy playing one! Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach a man to fish and Pete Hegseth will say “kill them all’’ #Hegseth

My Jackson SL1, serial number shows it was made early in 93 Ontario. Has active mid boost that you use by rolling on the knob to the right of the other traditional volume and tone knobs. The mid boost works as you think it would in making solos stand out more #Guitar #Jacksonguitars

Photo of USA made Jackson SL1 on desk in front of red Focusrite interface,Light green IMac and a Tannoy speaker. The Soloist 1 was what was called a super Strat, two single pickups and a humbucker at the bridge position. The bridge on these were usually licensed Floyd rose systems with locking nuts at the headstock end to keep it in tune when aggressively using the vibrato bar.This model made in 93 has the lightning graphics on the body with the bolts of lightning streaking across the black body and in between the neck and middle single coil pick ups.

Heard on the radio agent Krasnov’s plans to hand his master Putin chunks of Ukraine. He will never side with Ukraine because him and his criminal cartel are in bed with the mob. He is also is a pathetic vindictive little shit who hates Zelenskyy for not smearing Biden with lies #slavaukraini

Good morning all, bit of a frosty start this morning on the commute to work. Have to say the countryside looks breathtaking with the frost sitting on everything and the early sun rising to slowly thaw it all. Just a shame about all the temporary traffic lights!
