Gutted that Steve Cropper has passed away. I’m sure up in heaven, Belushi has just said, play it Steve.

Apparently my record collection has grown - how did that happen?

A strange thing has happened. I had a #MS #Relapse and now I no longer need to use my glasses to read. Probably a short term effect but nice to have a positive output for a change.

Currently feeling sorry for myself as I’ve had an MS relapse and am on a course of steroids. On the plus side I’m enjoying a glass of 12 year old Cragganmore.

May have bought some records today 🤣

My record collection tells the story of my life better than I could in words. When I get nostalgic there is always a soundtrack and songs are usually the catalyst for my memories. Music has been there to drag me out of my darkest moments and add glitter to the best ones.

One of my greatest joys in life is discovering new bands. Recently came across an Australian band called Floodlights who I think are really good.

There are people who enjoy organising their record collection. I am not one of them!

Listening to Tapestry by Carole King and can’t believe I didn’t include in my #5albums70sfinal selection. Then again, there were a lot of great albums to choose from.

Just in case anyone wanted to listen/watch my talk on the Fundamentals of #SystemsThinking that I gave a couple of weeks ago at the SCiO open event in Manchester.

Should I pre-order the new Wet Leg album?

Can’t believe I missed #5albums70s4

I was born disabled.

The thing that has always frustrated me the most is that because I am disabled, other people have the “right” to make decisions for me; parents, teachers, employers etc. without involving me.

Just been to my first gig of the year, #PaulHeaton at Hull University Student Union. Missed my gig buddy JP but still enjoyed some live music

Sometimes some cheese and crackers before bed are the perfect way to end the day.

So these arrived in the post today, to supplement my original CD and a copy of some of the original demos on cassette. Still possibly the greatest album ever recorded.

I've just voluntarily spent the last 20 minutes reading my work pension policy manual, like a proper grown up, and now I feel like I need to kick the telly in.

Slightly surreal day. Found out both the hair wax and aftershave I used to use when I was younger have been discontinued.

I now feel bad in case me going bald or my wife preferring a different aftershave has had a negative effect on other people’s product choice 🤣.
