Here he is. When I was unpacking my suitcase he climbed in to make sure I didn't leave him again.

For those of you who may not have read the ALT text in my previous post, this poster is from the cancelled show that Nirvana was supposed play near the time of Kurt Cobain's death. His body was discovered on this date. He had taken his life three days prior.

While taking a tour today at The Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum Experience for my 50th, I realized the past three milestone birthdays included a music-related activity. For my 30th I saw Gavin DeGraw and got my first of many pics with him. For my 40th I saw The Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show.

I took the pic of me at the Abbey Road zebra crossing a couple of days ago, but forgot to get a pic of the Abbey Road sign. Went back this morning before my train to Liverpool.

@muffy.bsky.social Got myself a pair of Doc Martens Mary Janes. Had planned on buying a pair of 1460s, but I grabbed these because most of their Mary Janes are t-straps, which I'm not a fan of.
