I’ve shared this a few times this year but it’s morphed and changed as the months have rolled on and I adore it. 50 songs I’ve loved in 2025…it may still change before the year is out… #Music #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

It’s wreath-making weekend at Gingerman Towers…at least for one of us! Me? I’m curled up with coffee and a now traditional pre-Christmas book of ghost stories, just what the doctor ordered… #Reading #BookSky

On the wildest of nights I went to see Butler, Blake & Grant in Belfast last night and it was just the kind of soul food this week needed. Wonderful gig… #Music #LiveMusic #MusicSky

Getting some new record storage built so I can get some of this stuff off the floor! Much too late in the day I’ve started cataloging my collection…what a joy to stumble across stuff I’d forgotten about. Damn this is satisfying! Organising Chaos! #Vinyl #Collection #MusicSky

Tonight’s sunset view from the terrace. The silhouettes of hot air balloons gently rising on the other side of town. Strangely captivating…

They have some of the best cycling roads in the world in Mallorca. Obviously we decided to ignore them and hit the gravel… #Cycling #BikeSky

Leonard and Hungry Paul is one of my favourite books ever. This isn’t the book but it has something of its soul and l’m enjoying it very much. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Leonard and Hungry Paul - Series 1: Episode 1
After his mother’s death, Leonard begins to open up his world with the help of a new colleague, Shelley. His best friend, Hungry Paul, reluctantly volunteers at the hospital.

I’ve been waiting for this to come out for what feels like forever. It’s out. It’s probably my favourite record of the year. And you should buy it. Simple. #Music #NewMusic #MusicSky julietturner.bandcamp.com/album/home-f...

Lunch out. Pints with an old pal. A Japanese murder mystery novel. And the new season of Slow Horses. Today is the antidote to a long, tough week. Rarely been so happy to see a weekend.
