Treated myself to a little day out today, it was so worth it!

If you have time to visit the Andy Warhol - Portraits of America exhibition at the MK Gallery, I highly recommend it.

Tonight’s memory on repeat:

That time I offered to cover an elderly gent’s shopping because he’d forgotten his wallet.
Only £20 or so.

Until he boshed 15 lucky dips for that night’s lotto on his bill.

And I let him. 🤡

Friday nights are for dancing.
Saturday mornings are for resting sore feet, fuzzy heads and wondering where the hell your voice has gone!

Quadrophenia night was a hit! X

Happy birthday to the song that makes my heart go skippity skip every time I hear that lolling, lullaby intro…

This song has bought me so much joy, and will continue to, forever more!

Fantastic weekend with friends complete. Small detour to pay our respects, now homeward bound 🖤

Very much subscribing to the theory that we are responsible for creating our own joy, and my calendar is beginning to reflect that.

Valuable time, with valued people, at every available opportunity.

I shall enter my 40’s with wonderful memories in the making ❤️ x

20 years ago I received the greatest valentines gift I could ever have imagined…

Happy 20th birthday Derryn, my real-life little baby love!

❤️✨🤍✨❤️

How did Mr Tumble sneakily recreating the cover to Black Sabbath's debut album escape me for so many years?

Somehow, seemingly overnight, we went from this to this…

Happy sweet 16 to my baby girl Keavey!

Articulate, bold, beautiful and fierce.

Friday 13th may be unlucky for some but look what I was presented with…

I know I’m biased because she’s my babiest baby but she is gorgeous 💕🪩

Littlest turns 16 next week, so she’s throwing a house party tonight…

She’s transformed the gaff! 🤩

Horrendous, horribly vivid nightmare - the first in a very long time. Sleeping with the light on aged 39 + ¾ is quite something! X

Cinbad, Little Pat, Sissy One and Siany.
Really doesn’t look like our kid was having a nice time on that boat tour of The Needles that time…

Today would have been the 78th birthday of the late, great, Stephen Peter Marriott.

Very few artists before or since have come close to his vocal prowess. A magnificent talent, and a prodigious legacy.

Always remembered x

January 102th.

Beginning to strongly suspect have died and am stuck in purgatory.

Guardian Angel is bald from stress and has a drink problem now.

If anyone has seen my will to live bowling about the place hissing and spitting, please steer it this way.
Much obliged! X

Absolutely in love with this Mary Quant double pin collar set…

Fingers crossed she arrives for next week’s trip to Digbeth.

Anyone else find it difficult to delete expired digital tickets/passes in their “wallet”?

In a world without paper tickets these serve as reminders of amazing times with brilliant people and I don’t want to delete them! X

All week I’ve sworn up and down I’d be 5 pints deep by 7pm on Friday despite working the weekend shift…

I’m actually about to spend the evening horizontal with as much tea as is physiologically manageable.

Love you bye x
