Just off a mixed #WeeklyMusicCall. A couple of duds, but also some very strong ones. Including, in the latter camp this, by Ellur. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wDS...

They were unbelievably good, The Platters. Some of the most sumptuous music out there.
From my music call this afternoon, try www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-u.... I really rate.

My sister Lucy would have been 53 yesterday. It's 30 years this time since she was killed, in a couple of weeks. A good deal more of my life than she was here for, but she is still one or three two of the main prisms through which I view the world.
See you kid.

A pleasing fund in Oxfam yesterday. Charity shops here rarely have decent vinyl, but I'm v happy with this. 1970 reissue according to discogs.

This was not an instruction as to how I should be this evening, but was waiting on my seat at Seven Arts, Leeds. I'd gone to see friends in a show.
Please can we ensure that every arts venue I attend henceforth should follow this. Ta.

Watching this evening's Antiques Roadshow. A woman has brought in an autograph book from Live Aid. She's wearing a cap with horse ears attached. As you do on national TV.

Watching last night's Fake or Fortune. Out of curiosity, I was looking up the most valuable painting they've unearthed.
This is what Google prompted me to look for?! I'd love to know the top two.

That definitely earns a raised eyebrow.
I think this was right at the end of the '80s.

A Lathkill Dale walk then an afternoon pottering in Bakewell today. Discovered Green Man records. Excellent stock. Could have spent hundreds.

I was over at Horton church, near Leek, at the weekend. We came across this pleasing headstone in the graveyard.
I get the sands of time and the angel carrying a body. Not sure about the three bottles (??) on the left nor what the second right one is.

Delighted to report that a house round the corner from me has put up a flag celebrating an unusual triumverate.
This is the best of several photos I tried. You can just about make it out. I think.

My mate Dave suggested a trip to a record Fair in Chesterfield. Yeah sure, I said, but I won't buy anything...

Oh, and Ribbesford has a Burne-Jones window.

I went hunting for Romanesque carvings in Worcestershire today. Ribbesford and Rock churches, then the remains of the old Abberley one.

Just off a late #WeeklyMusicCall. This, by @katherinepriddy.bsky.social was my final pick, and I think it's utterly lovely. See her live.
She's support for Suzanne Vega later in the year, which will hopefully help her reach a few more of you.

Having finished Possession, this is up next. I think someone, probably on the old, hellish place, recommended it ages ago. I've long since forgot who.
I'm hoping it is a Shakespeare link. One of my favourite Gervase Fen stories has them discover Love's Labours Found.
