@stigjones.bsky.social Any ideas on this guitar? Played tonight at the Link and Pin blues session (Woy Woy NSW)
@darkdoorstep.bsky.social suggested I ask you

For anyone confused by multiple red herrings being thrown into the debate on assisted dying this interview is certainly worth a listen. Kim Leadbeater addresses the issues head on with eloquence and logic.

There are few issues on which I profoundly disagree with Gordon Brown. The basic human right to ‘Assisted Dying’ in cases of terminal illness is one of them.

I know some folks don’t consider listening to an audio book as ‘reading’ it. It’s not a distinction that is important to me. I recently listened (again) to Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies on long car journeys. The hours and miles flew by.
If asked whether I’ve read them I will probably say yes.

As Rishi Sunak moves us on from 30 years of political failure by appointing David Cameron as Foreign Secretary, surely there must be governmental roles for Nick Clegg and George Osborne. 🤔🙄

On a day out in Poitiers I came across this. Wouldn’t it be great if the world adopted some of Foucault’s thinking just now?

On my walk by the banks of the Charente today. Four of them 😊

@jacko19.bsky.social Hi Jacko. Great to see you here. I’m still wandering around bumping into things but let’s see how it goes 😊

Came across a ‘park’ football match in my little wobble about on my bike this evening. Referee, linesmen, goal nets, a crowd of around 25 some screaming abuse/advice. The standard of play here in the Charente was just as awful as it was in my heyday in Co. Durham 50 yrs ago. I loved it! 😊

After yesterday’s indolence, today I:
1. Had a bike ride
2. Cut the grass
3. Did some shopping
4. Did some washing
5. Painted a piece of wall
6. Wrote my quiz for Xitter*

Are the nuts complimentary or complementary? That’s Sylvain behind the bar btw.

Today I had a day when:
I could have gone for a bike ride
I could have gone for a walk
I could have gone shopping
I could have done some housework
I could have done some gardening
I could have written something interesting
I could have read a book
I did none of those things and I feel like a slob 😢

Back to France tomorrow then booked to return to Scotland a week later, then back to France again. Living the Ryanair equivalent of a jet-set lifestyle. ‘Random seat allocation’ did they invent that phrase?

Sitting alone in an airport hotel restaurant (Premier Inn Edinburgh). Two men at the next table in deep discussion.
Snippet overheard:
“yours has a much more interesting aesthetic“
So far I have no idea what they are talking about - what do you think?

Overheard in the passport queue at Edinburgh airport just now: ‘we’ll have to have a good glass of French vino after this’ 🙄
