I was kicking a lightweight wembley orange football in the street, last week, pretending to be Keegan.

Oh wait, that was 45 years ago.

Pass the wine.

Little trip to Liverpool today to see Galeon Andalusia, a replica 17th century Spanish galleon, built in Seville. I wasn't so keen on Liverpool when I worked there 20 years ago, but I admit that it's grown on me and the architecture is top drawer.

Little trip to Stratford Upon Avon last week. Lovely place. Saw "The Constant Wife" at the RSC, starting Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones ("you know nothing Jon Snurr").

I have a friend who is an artist/photographer. We met for first time in ages, I was wearing a green hoodie, I'd bought in Glastonbury. She suddenly asked to photograph me for a project, the subject matter being British folklore horror. The results are pretty cool. I am a muse 😂

This Honda CBF-1000-GT will be mind this coming week. Test rode yesterday and was blown away by the performance. What a bike !

In 2024, I learnt that the medic William Harold Coltman VC DCM MM, the most decorated other ranks soldier in WW1, was the Son of my Great Great Grandfather (his 2nd marriage), starting an obsession for me in learning as much as possible about this pacifist hero in my family's past.

RIP David Lynch. A prime example of unbounded creativity, but such a lovely man. As a fellow meditator, you've been an inspiration. Enjoy your coffee and cigarettes, wherever you may be 🚬☕🙏

Here's my gang. My bloops.

Me and the 3 people who read my bloots / Skeets / posts, oh just forget it then.

The presence of these people here marks the end of this platform.

Don't panic. Just drink beer and know where your towel is.

I stumbled across a rubber duck shop in Málaga, a few days ago

Andrew Tate believes that Women aren't responsible for anything & that men are responsible for, and to blame, for everything.

Andrew takes responsibility for rain !

Odd though, that the alleged crimes he's specifically accused of, well....seemingly no blame or responsibility falls on Andrew there.
