Seeing is believing 2.

Noone would believe I’m going to be 68 next birthday.

What do I use to keep me looking so young?

Simple. I buy @sparkybosque.bsky.social latest album on vinyl.

It lifts the weight right off.

For friends in the USA. Sack Spotify.

Come listen to @stilltraffico.bsky.social's brand new single on Pandora / @pandoraamp.bsky.social.

pandora.app.link/4R93Ze1FGYb

It's a piece of jangling beauty, along the lines of mid-late 80s indies classics.

We're raising money for our school's Parents Teachers Association (PTA) aka. through sales of our books.

They are light-hearted tales re. six dustbins (garbage bins - USA) for kids aged 5-8. The latest is a Christmas story.

Hello

Hope that you're keeping remarkably well

I'm in full sorting out mode of the final pieces of the 24:1900 jigsaw. For what it's worth, I don't like jigsaws

Anyway, just wanted to confirm that I have scheduled a preview stream of this year's 24:1900
