Well I am here. The white one is Penelope and the blue one is Livie.

I wonder if the winner is still receiving their £20 a week. Over £50k by now. To put this into perspective the average wage in 1974 was £42 per week in the UK.

Great day yesterday at @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social Sunny but windy. Gravitated to the recreated radio and record shops obviously

This weekend I am going to Birmingham staying with daughter SJ (her in the profile pic). Tonight we are seeing the brilliant @tomrobinson.com at the Midlands Arts Centre. Tomorrow the Black Country Living Museum if the rain holds off.

The vast majority of teachers and public servants I know (a lot) work incredibly hard - at serving the needs of others! Just another slogan to appeal to those who don't actually know the truth.

Perfect for my emergency box 😊

Ewan MacColl, folk singer, labour activist and actor, died on this day 1989, aged 74. Born James Miller to Scottish parents in Broughton, Salford. Songs include 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' and 'Dirty Old Town'. He was the father of Kirsty MacColl.

This song made my dear late wife Jan cry when she first read the lyrics. It is is as relevent today as it ever was if not more so. It is currently being played on Caroline and it has just done the same to me. youtu.be/JjRQxyC3Pck?...

Christmas Cards ordered. I have friends who love black pieces of plastic with holes in the middle. If you do to treat them to a card that is a bit special.

1973 - Focus - Hocus Pocus (live on The Midnight Special) The story I heard behind this was that the show gave them five minutes to play so they crammed ten minutes into six, but checking it out now otyer versions are this length or shorter. So we need a new theory to explain this performance.

All things considered is the only American radio show I regularly listen to. RIP Noah.

Yesterday was spent with other CVRS members running a Scout activity day called JOTA from Severndroog Castle. A gothic folly on top of Shooters hill. We ran HF, VHF, a DF hunt and morse aplreciation for 120 local Beavers, cubs and Scouts. Today I need a lie down..

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like. The Ross Revenge. A boat with history and personality.
