Looks like I'll be FINALLY publishing a new book on 26 May next year. I'll be using #Jockula when I post about it, so if you're don't fancy reading about sweary, saucy, Scottish vampires, feel free to mute the tag. 😊

Going back to local rock choir, first time since August. Was going to get bus there but it's only a 20 minute walk and I need to shake off this silly fear of falling and hurting myself again.

It was a bit of a faff, but there's probably a quicker, simpler way to do it nowadays

I have the boxset of this particular show. I think I might have used VLC to capture the bits from the episodes and then uploaded to Giphy and added all the metadata, tags, etc. Memory a bit hazy as it was so long ago. :)

A bit of a long shot but does anyone know of a wheelchair accessible photography studio for hire in London? I'm trying to plan a couple of studio shoots but finding it hard finding anywhere to shoot

Listening to 'Forever Changes' album by Love for the first time and just had to check the lyrics for one song. Yup, he sang, "The snot has caked against my pants".

I spent way, way too much time on this nonsense.

The character Victor Meldrew looking serious in hat and cap on the left. A tub of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" on the right, but the text reads "I don't believe it - Snot Butter."
