Two episodes into Lanterns and it’s quite fun so far. No idea how a character named Sinistro turned out to be a villain though. Who could possibly know?

Don't normally process my #AmperSand shots to black and white, but without the sun shining this was almost there already. And I liked the dog and their human.

A black and white photo. A white ampersand made of shells is on a sandy beach. Some dark rocks behind the ampersand point off towards the sea, where a labrador and their human are silhouetted against the water's edge.

Listening to The Smiths this evening. I just had There is a Light, This Charming Man (session version), Bigmouth Strikes Again and How Soon is Now come up in a row. This made me both very happy and a bit sad. This band means so much to me and it still hurts that Morrissey turned out to be such […]

Have you ever noticed the way Rickie Lee Jones’s speech patterns on The Orb’s Little Fluffy Clouds resemble Trump’s meandering rambles? It’s only a relatively brief sample of speech used in the track, but it’s the way she contradicts/corrects herself: “You don't see that. You might still see […]

@WiteWulf @djdarren Shed 7, btw is a railway siding in York… so presumably sheds 1-6 are alongside it on the tracks? (I lived in York and used to occasionally drink in the same pub as the band around 1995-7. Great times).

Reading the news, it’s really hard not to think that we’re utterly fucked, isn’t it? Even watching Simon Reeve in the remote Yukon last night was depressing as climate change and uncontrolled human activity is fundamentally changing the ecosystem. Depressing.

7am outing in the quad as it’s our last chance as a crew before Saturday’s head race. The steering cable snapped at 3.5k, so we had to touch steer back and abandon our plan of a dry run. Still well worth doing and better now than in the race. #rowing

The “up to 100% effective” you hear in adverts always makes me chuckle. Um… obviously that’s as effective as it could be, no? Then I head an advert the other day only claiming “up to 90% effective”, and I wondered at their lack of ambition for their product.

9 years since I had the pleasure of ushering at my oldest friend’s wedding. I wore a hat for the day, and the bride’s father (from Northern China), I’m told, was very impressed at the cool, distinguished English gentleman in the hat.

A black and white picture framed through a window of a man in a suit, Raybans and hat. It’s a sunny day and, yes, he does look very distinguished! (It’s me)
