Cats: Counterintuitive is their only setting 🙂

Thanks Joe. I miss my cat dreadfully (called Dee Dee, not Dreadfully, obvs) and this has made me happy and sad at the same time.

Black cat season

'All that is fantastic leagues against me
The fantastic is in league against me
Tin can rattle on the path
The bestial greed is on the attack
The cat black runs round the tree...'

We have a Garden Buddha, seen here in another life. Ie, Catford rather than West Wickham.

A better than good evening at the ever excellent Lexington tonight, viewing that rarest of birds, the nesting Swell Maps. Man, they were good and, erm...danceable! New stuff was getting there, old stuff was exactly what I wanted. And spoke (briefly) to @davidlancecallahan.bsky.social

Beauty is what it is.

Either that, or she's giving the sarcophagus salesman severe sarcasm. Try saying that after several Guinness.

One of several of my pre-gig liveners tonight 🍺🙂

This isn't him, but looks very much like him. We tried to buy him the same jacket, but they'd sold out...

Extra lap time required for poor Cassie. Hope Olly learns some manners before he causes serious damage. He may need neutering, as that normally calms them down. But not always...see our former resident bruiser & cat-bouncer, Gizmo, below. He loved girls, but hated everything else!

Head still full of recent visit to the city of York, and the start of the Witching Season:

"Infest my home at night
They are not alright
Ten times my age
One tenth my height

Our city hobgoblins
Our city hobgoblins..."

Great actor.

After appearing in The Producers as Lorenzo St DuBois, he married Deirdre before running a few South American banana republics.

Good to see he's doing well for himself 👍

We share a car park with Wickes. Odd what people rock up in/on to pick up their sand, cement, and ironmongery 🙄

My business is next door to a branch of Wickes. Odd what people rock up in/on to pick up their cement, plaster & ironmongery...🙄

The festival flyer is on the 'Net. Clint Eastwood & General Saint were great, too. Still don't remember Hazel 😕

Off to a knot-tying celebration in sunny Chesterfield. Bonus photos of the groom with his aunt and uncle taken 36yrs ago this weekend. Ah, bless! 🙂

"Champagne hip hip hooray
Thank you folks for coming today..."

A photo you took that brings you inner peace.

...or the young George Michael?
August 10, 2025 at 9:29 PM
I'm sure that a young Henry Kelly will suit...

Very enjoyable Camden night out. On way home.

Punk rock still rocks 🙂

Messing up the Paintwork

"And I think if I'd wanted to live in Holland
And if I'd wanted to be European
I'd have packed up and pissed off when I was sixteen
A Swiss good at this lousy business
Was the last thing I was ever imagining..."

Good morning from a grim looking Oval.

Crigget is occurring 👍

Just saw a very nice classic car in the car park opposite work. The people driving off in it (reg no. ADD 419B) looked very pleased with themselves. To satisfy my curiosity, as I believed it to be a 1964 Rover P5, I goggled it...and was amazed to find that the result showed the *exact* car!! 😲

The late Joey Ramonecat 🖤

This was his standard look when sitting on my chest, staring at me with murderous intent. It was that, or he wanted Whiskas. Who could tell?
