Worked a gig with Paul Young a few years ago. He was approaching backstage and recognised my then partner, who introduced us. PY looked at my ex, looked me up and down, looked back at my ex and told him he was punching above his weight #totp

A neighbour is a landscape gardener of long standing. He only keeps bags of cuttings in his van overnight (no tools), is STILL surprised when spiders and bugs set off his alarm.

I must say, I never loved Ms. Spiteri more than when she went on the Carfest stage after The Village People a few years ago and told them their (notably bad) attitude was a bit fucking unacceptable and that maybe they should fuck off 😍

She was about the one person in the cast and crew aside from Ev who wouldn't get in trouble for it, so used that platform wisely. Their attitude and behaviour to crew WAS awful and those behind the curtain would quite happily have put the band in the nearest biffa that night.

I've done a few overnight shifts this week on a nameless industrial estate. It's interesting/sad to note how many people seem to be sleeping/living in their cars? Same 3 every night, sometimes more, always parking in the same places, no parking restrictions here despite not being far from a station.

The wry annoyance at myself for being irrationally upset and huffy at picking up my apple pencil and finding it out of battery, completely forgetting I could just pick up an ACTUAL lead pencil, make the note and happily get on with my day.

Watching old Time Team on 4oD. It's just so CHARMING. Also provides a fascinating time capsule of it's own when you notice the cars that some of the archaeologists drive to the digs (maybe that's just me).

Better than the last few days, although as soon as a website posts a picture of one of my faves with no easily discernable title to the piece, I'm still presuming the worst.

As a veteran of the 2016 'year of the scythe', I'm having flashbacks to why I turned off the BBC news alert and never switched it back on. It felt like every day back then so I hope this is a blip in comparison.

tim curry keeping up the bit twenty years after the fact by writing in his memoir that he and miss piggy had an affair during the filming of muppet treasure island is just so good and funny

Being told by a trusted mutual that the manager of several high profile artists likes my photography work is lovely *resists temptation to wait for phone to ring and hold breath*

How to get my Lord of the Rings box set back from my mum? She said she'd like to borrow it for the weekend about 3 months ago and she is still watching it most weeks apparently. I'm going to just have to buy it again aren't I.
