Old, aching and wobbly.
Way back last century I was a Punk Rock Kid.
Now:
A good sit down with any of:
a nice cup of tea
a Kit Kat
a beer
or a single malt whisky.
And some David Bowie.

Saturday morning. Drizzle.
A slow start, a mug of strong tea and The Auteurs are on 6Music.
All’s well.

Mad to think Mark and I are ‘performing’ in these magnificent theatres. Nottingham Theatre Royal on this occasion. Thanks to everyone who came. Next year there’s LINCOLN, SHEFFIELD, NORWICH, DOUGLAS, EDINBURGH and ULVERSTON. Then that’s most likely the end of this mad part of our mad lives. 🩵

I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday
- It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself.
One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend
Love you Mani x x

I know the BBC are preoccupied, but I've recieved no reply re my complaint about how incompetent the Red Team were on Bargain Hunt (October 26th broadcast). And how they didn't even appear to be taking the game remotely seriously.
