Lead Singer and Manager of punk, new wave & indie rock covers band 'England's Dreaming'. Love what I do, mum of 2 adult women & 3 mental small dogs. Watch a bit of telly, writes things.
Bit late to the party but when trying to find a new series to watch before I fall asleep in bed, came across The Resident on Netflix and it fits the bill pretty well. Although I should have switched it off a lot earlier than 1am thank you very much intriguing medical drama.

Anyone watching Cross on Prime? It's pretty good, quite engrossing and Ryan Eggold as a creepy serial killer is quite the revelation compared to his character Max on New Amsterdam. Those eyes went from puppy to slasher in seconds.

My week: Gig last Saturday, late night but great night. Last night rehearsals with new bass dep. Tomorrow night out to see Hugh Cornwell and EXTC (yay!) and Saturday gigging again. Knackered already.

I live in the South East of the UK.. the weather has been so bloody humid this year so far autumn/winter but today we have snow!! I would love this normally but our front door is permanently open due to building work so I'm hiding upstairs in the bedroom with all the pets door closed.

That moment when your cat starts making loud vomit sounds and jerky movements but runs under low furniture that you can't access or move at all easily. FFS!!!

Don’t worry, it’s not Covid!

We moved recently and bought a doer upper place, we were lucky to be able to get the builders in to renovate our v dated house but we are now on week 5 of dust and working in our bedroom with 3 dogs & a cat as not another space left to go. Stressful. I've also lost all my gig clothes!!

Politico's London Playbook headlines are often amusing, but this one genuinely made me laugh this morning:

Working with deps is always a struggle when you're in a band like mine.. whilst we play some standards, most of our set is old school punk and new wave and not everyone knows these as a matter of course. If the band want time off I know we're in for work to get a dep ready. Found some good ones now.

I don't know whether to be insulted or find it amusing that BlueSky has mostly aimed accounts for Cat lovers at me to follow. I mean I quite like cats but not all women do so a bit of an assumption there.

My first post here! Hello and looking to find a kinder place to post which isn't full of absolute crazies please! Left leaning punker now in my 50s still singing and playing gigs.. loves dogs, politics and gutted about Brexit. Politics has become so incendary in the last 5 years! Let's be friends.
