Went for my flu jab, went for a coffee, read my book, walked through town; thought about how annoying other people were, looked at some swans preening, might have a cold, not very happy about that either.

The second is this book that I bought a week ago and haven’t read yet so this is just a new book post. I know I will love it as I love all the @hookland.bsky.social posts and have always followed them. They speak to me so have no doubt this book will too.

That somewhere turned out to be Butler's Wharf, four months after the electrical fire that badly damaged the building. Industrial Records released the recording in the "24 Hours Of Throbbing Gristle" set on cassette as IRC 24 in 1980.
