Lazy. Likes vinyl records, 70s& 80s scifi, history, art, food, beer (and making up for it in the gym...) etc. etc. Dislikes the News, history is bad enough.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Today's #SpaceRockSunday (well here anyway). Hawkwind and Doremi Fasol Latido. Their 3rd album, recorded, as so many iconic albums were, at Rockfield Studios and released in November 1972. It's still quite capable of whisking you away...

Well I'm on the list for a transplant. Kind of weird waiting for someone to die to save my sight. Something difficult to comprehend, I'll be so incredibly grateful.
Also kinda weird having a part of someone else in me...

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.
The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Just home from the gym. Late night/long day, I guess, but if it wasn't for that place I'd be climbing the bloody walls.
Space and time to decompress as well as essential for fitness at my age.
