This iconic photograph of Pete Townshend of The Who jumping mid-air on stage was taken by Richard McCaffrey at the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival.

Will Young to host Gardeners' World now that Monty Don is retiring?

Freddie came up with this tune in the bathtub. A creative genius, much missed. youtu.be/zO6D_BAuYCI?...

I sincerely hope this is left over from last year instead of anticipating an event 95 days away.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds S04E08 - Orders Of Magnitude is the best episode for YEARS. #TrekCulture #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds

@elittlechild.bsky.social Seems an appropriate sign for the current situation.

Word of the day: "malaphor" - a portmanteau of malapropism and metaphor, first coined by writer Lawrence Harrison in a 1976 article for the Washington Post. Examples include "Like taking cold to Newcastle", "It's not rocket surgery" and "We'll pass that water when we burn that bridge".

I love a milkshake whilst listening to XTC.

A beautiful evening sky, tonight.

It's a Manics Monday youtu.be/J9L-jyFEsK4?...

Temptations Day! youtu.be/S5xAtsXb8Vs?...

Wakey Waket youtu.be/pAgnJDJN4VA?...

The #BBC announced at lunchtime that David #Hockney had "resigned". Oh dear. Never mind.

It's Free Friday... youtu.be/EuXjYT2ot1o?...

Starmer's fucked. Bring on a woman Labour PM.

Well, fuck. #DoctorWho

Reminiscent of the old sign "Please do not put cigarette butts in bowl as they become wet and difficult to light"

#AnnieLennox with #ArethaFranklin and a great song youtu.be/drGx7JkFSp4?...

@elittlechild.bsky.social Presumably no parking for the TARDIS?

#SteveWinwood with the classic #JohnBarleycorn Just fab youtu.be/t8878chOvfI?...

The #Moon is #Waxing #Gibbous, tonight.

Male #GreatSpottedWoodpecker on the peanut feeder today. #WelshBirds #Llandybie #GardenBirds

Two male Great Spotted Woodpeckers on our garden feeders today. The females have been about, less frequently. Given the overall frequency of visits, I reckon they're feeding at least one chick each.

#Juvenile #Robin, recent #Fledgling, I reckon. #ForestFarm #Cardiff today.

I fail to see how two #Tesco fuel stations in more-or-less adjacent towns (Ammanford and Pontardawe) can justify an 8p a litre difference in price for #diesel, today. Tesco Ammanford 180.9p (that's bad enough) Testco Pontardawe 188.9p #FFS

Well.

For lovers of #Stackridge and #FairportConvention youtu.be/-NXdGXgsSxc?...

#HappyBirthday #SirDavidAttenborough!

This product name seems to upset Americans. Oh well. #WelshFood #UKFood

Another sublime song, this in 9 parts, from 1975. #PinkFloyd #ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond #RIPSydBarrett youtu.be/Pd-qu_ErkbE?...

#MemorialBench outside the #PrincePhilipHospital #Llanelli canteen. British humour at its best.

This used to be the #parking meter at Llanelli's Prince Philip Hospital car park. It hasn't been used for years. We don't pay to park in #NHS #hospital car parks in Wales. It's #free!

An excellent evening in the company of John Kirkpatrick, Sue Harris and Benji Kirkpatrick at Menter Rhosygilwen, Cilgerran. Legendary talent on display and a lovely venue. #JohnKirkpatrick #SueHarris #BenjiKirkpatrick #Folk #Rhosygilwen

Good morning! #Lamb #BreconBeacons #Wales

RIP Dave Mason, 79. Another legend has left us.

Meanwhile, in 1996... youtu.be/wmin5WkOuPw?...
