My second favourite album of all time, The Hounds Of Love, turns 40 today. See if you can guess my first? Hint: it isn't by Kate Bush

Hello you lovely lot! I got laid low by Covid recently but I'm gently peering into Bluesky to see what I'm missing. Hope you're all splendid - tell me something that has made you smile.

Passed a playground this morning and on one of the swings was a woman, dressed for the office, swooshing with absolute delight with her feet higher than the frame.

Received my copy of "The Place I'm In" by Miranda Keeling @mirandakeeling.com to enjoy in the sunshine today! I can't help but remember the poem Leisure by William Davies while reading this. To stop and appreciate simple pleasures.

"I'll just pop into the hammock for five mins" are famous last words. Do I really, really need to go back to work? *sighs, sways a little longer*

Had a dream last night that #Netflix bought the rights to #Firefly and made it into a #Muppets film. Imagine Sam The Eagle as The Operative, Kermit as Simon. Rizzo as Badger. Mal would be the only human in it. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

One of my favourite things in life is to go wandering on a sunny day, to nowhere in particular and hear the sound of live music being played on the way. Today brought the sounds of a guitarist strumming a folk tune from a flower decorated balcony.

I call this The Bunting Complex, the desire to return to a world that only ever existed in misty eyes - village cricket, God Save The Queen, shopping with a wicker basket at the grocers and bunting everywhere. No slums, backstreet abortions, women under the thumb, queer and paki bashing.
Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset Britain inch by inch'. But to what? Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

This is a clear-eyed breakdown of what’s really on offer ⤵️
Reform UK offers nostalgia, not solutions
Reform UK trades on national nostalgia – but behind the slogans lies regression, not renewal or reform
