Starlight Express was amazing, the set was fantastic and it's so imaginative.

Crammed on the 11.00 from Sheffield to St Pancras.

They've just said that they may declare the train unsafe and make everyone standing get off. Thankfully I managed to get a seat.

On the train to London on an epic 5 hour journey, ironically to see Starlight Express.

I'm hoping for affecting Lloyd Webber ballads about engineering works and the cafe being closed at York.

My dog is so obsessed with Dentitix Lights that we've had to remove them from the house, and he's going cold turkey.

I'm pretty sure he's just reached the "puppy walking across the ceiling" stage of withdrawal.

For context, I used to be the "roving monk" at Fountains Abbey. This time I was walking to the abbey in the dark when I blacked out and fell down the stone steps. It turned out that caffiene has made my adrenaline go so high that my body shut down.

I laugh about it now!

So this is a story all about how my ass got flipped turned upside down, now let's take a minute just sit right there I'll tell ya how I 'came a monk with blood in her hair.

(This was 7 years ago, I'm ok now!)

Amadeus with Opera North was amazing. The scene of composing the requiem always gets me, but hearing the choir and the instruments just hit an extra spot. Sublime.

@bobfischer.bsky.social I remember the outpouring of grief from the weirdly Twittery Lot when Squashie went in the bin. (I found a photo on the Facebooks!) @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social

There has to be a market for "simple" TVs with just five buttons, like those big button phones they sell in Betterware catalogues.

Continuing my watch of Doctor Who with The Ambassadors of Death. I wasn't expecting a love scene between two Mars probes, and this went out at teatime??

Mary Whitehouse must've exploded!

Day off for an haircut, an eye test and a teeth test. Beatles are winging their way to @bigsort.bsky.social, and Wendy at the Artist's Palette is mystified that people with a Big Beatles podcasts know about her shop.

It's a good day.

Aren't they just! I love how you can tell who's who.

She also made this, but Beatles Not For sale.

(I need to tell her to make that a sign!)
