I’ve decided that the world can do without my personal social media presence and therefore this account will no longer be sporadically updated.
For the foreseeable, I’ll be over at @unspunheroes.bsky.social for all music-related chat. Also sporadically updated.

Found this book in a free library and assumed it was self-help, BUT turns out that it's actually a book of COMPLETELY DERANGED suggestions for romantic escapades for married dudes to rekindle the spark. Who's ready to learn about the lost art of romance????💘

10 years ago I’d have made a Tumblr called Clare, Balding, showing the commentator with receding hair. Mostly to show off my use of the comma.

I’m also reading this. Which means I’ve read it twice. Was worth it.
Reading a long read about Giant Steps crafted from a conversation between @jamescaig.bsky.social and @betarish.bsky.social and delivered via the media of email newsletter.

Active Fire
In April, the poet Rishi Dastidar and I started exploring an album we both love deeply: The Boo Radleys' Giant Steps. This post captures our exhange - a collaboration in epistolary form - in full.

Hello Bluesky. Do YOU have a favourite lovely, small, weird or whimsical or silly or funny website (made in the last year)? Maybe you made one! Either way, why not submit it to this year's Tiny Awards, celebrating the small, non-algorithmic web? Details here, please do share: tinyawards.net

After many months of not working (too many reasons to list here) I am back in the land of work. Nothing has changed in the 12 months I've been away. Expectations remain high, morale low. Meetings about meetings about what will be said in meetings, and by whom, also figure highly in my schedule.

Just before Christmas my boiler failed. Managed to get it fixed but it failed again last week. Would have loved to have no gas boiler but unless you have £15k lying around moving to heat pump isn’t viable. Annoying. Where’s the investment?

I’m sat in a car servicing customer waiting area. Dress to Impress is playing on the telly; two people are doing conference calls on laptops. The telly is about to go into sleep mode. Someone has said they need to do a ‘quick round table’… send help

Anti-cancer meds dosage upped. Not liking it. But! Got the new reissue of The Real New Fall LP (formerly Country On The Click) on vinyl and so it’s not all bad.
