For some inexplicable reason, I have been walking around the place with a packet of dairylea slices in my hand. Which, when I realised, made me think of Liz Truss 🤡 Such carefree days of cheese and wheat fields...

Home after a couple of days, very muggy out, but hospital appointment this avo (not serious) and a busy weekend ahead 😊

Mum and I discussed the Assisted Dying bill before she passed away. We were both against it. She was dying and in pain, but her life still had value. I miss her very much.

This came out a whole year ago, which doesn't seem possible. Note to self: really must get on and finish the next one,, Robert.

I have so much work to do this weekend, but just want to go back to bed...😴 Fortunately the hound wants a walk and breakfast, so I can't be lazy 😎

Missed this yesterday. 20th June 1937, Robert Johnson recorded his last ten songs in Dallas. A year later he was dead. I've been fascinated by his music since I was a student in Bristol and got taken to a blues night in Easton. One I did earlier: Me and the Devil Blues.

I know I bemoan my administrative skills, which are awful, but I sometimes I surprise myself and do save the right files in the right place 😊

We're pleased to announce .....

Hear ye! 'Tis time for #StuartSaturday! Henry Hudson, an English navigator and explorer, found himself in some considerable trouble this week back in 1611, when his crew mutinied! Hudson, his son, and others were never seen again. Our theme this weekend is Stuart-era mutinies!

Been staring at a screen all day, need a break and some grub.

Today, I did not procrastinate, I just got on with my shit and consequently got a lot done. Now, I just need to do that again tomorrow...😱

The world is far too depressing. Back to the 17th Century for me!

5000 words done today, 3000 yesterday. Sometimes I manage to surprise myself 🥳

Busy weekend, brain's still a bit frazzled. I really should do the housework I put off yesterday, but... Me and the hound are taking it easy today 😊

I really need to prune the triffid around the door, but it looks so purdy...😍
