Well that’s not a very good start to the season. Another goal from a defensive mistake. #Saintsfc
I hope the Times journalists are proud of the way they have been writing about Jason Arday recently.
New music Friday. The new album from @holycovesband.bsky.social Big sounds, and great production. Will be listening to this more over the coming weeks no doubt.

Well that was a bit of a shock. This just flew over the house at the height of about 150 ft (or so it seemed). Frightened the life out of us!
Weirdest thing about the eclipse, although 95% of the sun was covered it still wasn’t that dark.
Weird solar eclipse shadows on the garden fence through next doors trees.
For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton
Amazing how accurate the Simpsons was 32 years ago

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface
My wife put some washing on around 8:00. It is hanging outside and is already dry enough to iron. No it’s not hot at all, is it?:
Watching a Columbo and wondering why they didn’t do an episode starring him and Quincy ME?
Went to a good friend’s 70th birthday celebration last night. Where did the time go! So good to see that there were many of us of a similar age that are still fit enough to throw a few shapes on the dance floor.😁 I’m sure we are generally healthier than our parents generation (thank goodness).
I’m sitting next to a warm barbecue in a somewhat cloudy/sunny but very breezy garden listening to the birds and the sizzle of a sausage or three, and all is right with the world for a few minutes.
Happy Birthday to Virginia Plain , Roxy Music’s first single, released on this date in 1972. What a remarkable record, especially for your debut release!
Enjoy a lovely start to the week by reading this excellent writing on the golden age of British ice cream. For those of us of a certain age it will bring back so many memories! @vittles.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/vittles/...

I don’t post much about wine here but, tonight we had this bottle of NZ Pinot Noir (with BBQ seared tuna steak) and it was just about perfect. Fruity, smooth, with just enough tannins to keep you on your toes. Cheers. 🍷
Walking down the farm track this morning there was a sound like a cat being strangled (it wasn’t!). Got to the bottom of the track to see a massive bird of prey sitting on the fence squawking away. (Took me a few seconds to get phone out, hence the poor photo)
