Not a good day on the sporting front ☹️

It cannot remember the previous time I listened to all four sides of Moonflower by Santana, but I should do it more often— it's rather good!

En route to Leeds Playhouse to see "To Kill A Mockingbird" — which I read for my English Literature 'O' Level exam 46 years ago!

I was too late with my Iron Man application and so had to find something else to do today

I was in Liverpool, so decided to pop up to Anfield and drop off my tender to update their Champions Wall at the end of the season. I expect to be the lowest cost, but I may be in trouble if they are not stick-on numbers.

Looking forward to this: a National Theatre Live production (and Steve Coogan in Dr Strangelove. I'm trying hard not to think about Alan Partridge!

First time at the cinema to see a National Theatre Live production (filmed live recording): Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Really good; I'll be back for the next one, Steve Coogan in Dr Strangelove

Doing my homework before going to see "Becoming Led Zeppelin" at Wetherby Cinema later today. I might even continue the rock 'n' roll lifestyle with fish 'n' chips at The Wetherby Whaler afterwards.

En route to The Leeds Playhouse; first theatre trip in a while… looking forward to a bite to eat and then The Merchant of Venice — 1936. Seems apt in current times.

I haven’t seen one of these in a while!

Hints of a welcome springtime.

Thoroughly enjoyed Dr Georgina Wilson’s fabulous talk — Why Making Books Means Reading Differently — this evening at Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print.

Enjoying the landmark “Highway 61 Revisited” after seeing the excellent “A Complete Unknown” at Wetherby Cinema — both of which see the completion of Bob’s 1965 electric pivot! Favourite Track? Probably “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”

When, when will the icicle melt? #ListeningTo No Need To Argue by The Cranberries which I must've originally bought on CD in the 1990s — I had forgotten how much I love listening to to the sound of Delores O'Riordan

Some autumnal (aka fall) colour (aka color) from my walking today on a beautiful day (and reprieve) from the rain.
