.... investigating now.

I'm in the Aviary but I remember when there were birds here and now it's a (damn fine) coffee shop. I'm looking for the 1970s, trying to locate images of them in the here and now, but I realise my memories are just long exposures; multiple impressions making blurs with few fixed points to steer by.

Gonna tell my kids this was Talking Heads

Uncle recently died. As a kid I thought he was quite a cool hippy type person. Just before his death he was saying that people in boat crossing the channel should be shot, plus other racist shite. The small inheritance I received gone straight to RNLI

I've felt the morning chill over the last week or so, but it's only after a walk in parkland does it feel like autumn now.

Looking forward to this...

This plaque has been stolen. These men have formed such a fascinating part of my own research and I am grateful to the work that has come before mine by Kate and others. Please read it. Please ask questions. Please share the image

It’s the 112th anniversary of Mr Rée’s birth today, so here’s a thread about his extraordinary life (which prompted several people last year to observe, regardless of his sandals/socks decision, that Harry was “smoking hot”)

Saw a white van at the supermarket with a large UK flag saying "if this flag offends you I'll help you pack". Momentarily thought they meant they'd help at the till to show that some flag shaggers can behave decently. Then realised what the owner really meant and they're a cunt.

FTR shattering letter about how the Conservative Government ignored the entirely credible threat from Putin in favour of feeding The City (& Tory Party) roubles👇 March 23 2022 Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), UK defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016 www.ft.com/content/857d...

For the billionth time, "putting inspirational people" on British banknotes is a relatively modern phenomenon. Even the Queen didn't appear until 1960. Animals on money, however, are a much older idea. There was a wren on the farthing way back in 1937.

Northern Lights, now!!! This is as far south as Kent, UK

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time, with a human of his very own. 💕 "Share the post if you love animals."

October is change. October is spirits. We walk the edge of its fields, knowing they wait for the first frost of the year to crack them and release their ghosts. - Katherine Gidding, Hookland artist, talking about her 1939 painting 'The Lip'

Passing through the park and there's a late bat out for his supper...

I do like the whimsy of this petrol station

All these tech guys going 'look, you don't need musicians anymore! We can just generate whatever music you want!' and it's the fucking POPE who has to explain to them that art occupies a space not replaceable by the products of machines.

The sounds that were caught in here...

"You don't have to be weird to be weird, you don't have to be strange to be strange," as the late Mark E. Smith used to remark *This might not apply well in Italy, where, whatever it is, you kinda need to dress-for-it

Septembers reading included... Always pleasant to escape into Edward Thomas's Fenlands. Otherwise, a mixed bag...

I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

Watch the concentration

This year, due the economy, Mothers Day and Fathers Day will be combined to form a shorter and much cheaper Parents Evening.

Morning. Last week I found out for the first time that Champion The Wonder Horse (stalwart black and white 50s schedule filler up to 1993) was a spin-off. Champion was Gene Autry’s horse, and it was a 1955 cash in on the success of the Gene Autry Show. He’s like horse Frasier.

Spoilt for gig-choice today (@robynhitchcock.bsky.social in Manchester, @songsbyadamross.bsky.social in Marple, Seamus Fogarty in Strines).... But it's daughters birthday tomorrow so it's a family meal in Skipton followed by running her back to Leeds with her presents. All gigs missed; nevermind.

Don't you just love it when after a long week and a difficult day, the Apocalypse goes and turns up Friday evening?
