Mabel is also that cat. Definitely worried. And yet, Maisie, her sister, has had the same upbringing and is at one with the universe, albeit with a few complaints about the details...

In a display of top quality chatting, Maisie spent over an hour getting between me and the PC, demanding that I focus on her instead. #ProofOfCat

Phil and Friends at Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael CA, December 2014. We were on a pre-Christmas break from Scotland in SF, and got tickets - we had to phone to book! It was many months later when I was filing the tickets that I noticed the "no cameras!" detail that I missed on the day.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.
Leas Cliff Hall, FolkestoneMarillion, with Fish.  From the internet, NOT a photo from my first gig.

I was a passenger in a taxi in Edinburgh that had to do an Emergency Stop to avoid running over Steven Berkoff, who had stepped off the kerb without looking where he was going.

Sunday night Mabel. 3 years old yesterday, but still weird... #ProofOfCat #CatsOfBlueSky

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike. Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle. Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😤

Now is the moment for Canada, UK, EU and Mexico to form a united front. Add Iceland, Greenland, and others, as they join. Block the Trump regime out. The only way to oppose this is multi-national and united. The real chance of Starmer's Labour actually being part of this? 5%? Am I too generous?

It's wild out there... bits of tree banging into the window (which is why the curtains are closed), the gale howling, and lights flickering. The cats, of course, are sleeping through it.

Stealing cat photos is gross, but stealing memorial posts from grieving cat owners for likes and shares is truly repulsive. This account has been reported thousands of times and I'm so disappointed in bluesky that it is allowed to continue. 🧵

Punters, do please take note. And on behalf of myself and so many of my friends who are pro, semi-pro, or starting out musicians I say thanks for your support. 🙏 Say what you will about my fellow musicians, you cannot say they are overpaid. 😳🎻🎸🪕

Pleased to announce that once again, I bought and listened to loads of music - but not on Spotify. Support artists and buy their releases.
Spotify's 2024 Wrapped screen.  I haven't listened to any music on Spotify, so no Wrapped for me, again.  This is pleasing.

So: weekend re-doing #ProofOfCat as the weather cools down here. First, Hamish snuggles down on the couch:

What was the first album you bought?
Genesis, "Seconds Out", released 1977, I bought it second-hand in 1979.  Not listened to very often these days, but it still sounds good when I do!

Doing some proof of cat #ProofOfCat per Garius (John Bull), even though our guys are allergic to cameras. They're all totally lovely, but photos? No, please. 1/3: Hamish. "Small Sir", the leader of the pack. 5 years old, though it's a moment since he was a tiny kitten:
