It’s Lorraine’s birthday today which means you should look at this drawing of Nell again.
We had tea in a restaurant near Penny Lane then saw someone drive on the wrong side of the road up Smithdown. What larks.

As we're in #Beatles #Anthology season, here's a piece of artwork depicting everyone's favourite talking head from the series - dear old Neil Aspinall.
This was drawn by Paul's partner, Lorraine, and some of you may have seen this as part of the wonderful @teatles.bsky.social 'Trumps' card game.

Do I remember what I say in podcasts? Very rarely - but here's a glimpse of the sort of heavyweight topics I can be relied on to tackle if you make me a guest on your show.
Not long ago we had @pablovich.bsky.social from @bigsort.bsky.social on the podcast to discuss the episode 'We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert'.
The conversation turned, as it so often does on ALFsplaining, to 17th century philosophers.

It's January 3 in my part of the world, and the absolute first order of business is to remember Sir George Martin on the 100th anniversary of his birth. As I've called him before: He was the 5th-iest of Beatles, and the unrivaled 1st of *all* producers 🎂🎼

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.
