At Mac deMarco in Bristol with the kids. It’s a cool venue.

They made me get here before doors, and ran to the front as soon as they opened.

It’s like…..being a teen again

After 45 years in this earth and too many years of them eluding me, I think I’ve finally got the hang of Yorkshire puddings.

A nice milestone. Passing a total of 5 million views on the channel since I started it.

Shout out to everyone who was here from the early days and is still with me.

A bittersweet chart, but it is what it is. Recent action is looking encouraging

Bye then pup. Good luck for your new home

This is such a lovely comment to wake up to, on a sad day, so I’ve appreciated it much more.

This did cheer me to receive, adding a little colour to my bleakness.

I appreciate the note

I don’t want to maudlin post to much here, but I do feel horrible. Just need tomorrow to be over.

I really feel like people miss their chance when they say this.

Just include it first go.

October may have blipped past, but seems I did make it count.

Channel is doing good. Let’s see if I can keep this going all the way to the end of the year. Got some big work things that might get in the way tho. And…hmmm…life has some tiring challenges.

BUT happy I have some stats to show for it

Good morning

While I’m at it, I should also mention (like a soft launch?) I turned on the ‘community’ thread of the channel

Which means, should you be of the mind to, you can post into the channel for all my subscribers (and more) to see.

Ably demonstrated by our good friends @gilgareth.bsky.social here >>>

Trying another new thing with the channel, with some weekly polls. Might do them more often, but once a week will do for now.

So far so good with this. 140+ votes and some chat means it’s going better than I expected, but it’s what I was hoping for.

Check it!

So relieved at this result in the Welsh constituency near me. I was resigned to Reform taking it, but the fash got smashed.

They still garner too many votes, but that’s populism for you.

So long as they’re beaten and the damaging rhetoric gets countered in a compassionate way, it’s all good

Recent delivery; the latest Paladin album of rustic dreamy neo-medieval dungeon synth; the homespun folk-ambient incarnation of Atlantean Sword.

Last week laptop listening. One day i will actually get round to scrobbling my phone, which will probably make these look quite different.
