Much better than the previous few albums.

Its fantastic. Even the Steve Rothery improvs (and I'm not a huge fan of him).

I think we have just gained quite an insight into the darker recesses of your mind... 😂

What will (probably) be the last chutney of 2025 is currently bubbling away on the hob. Not a big batch- somewhere around the 6 jar mark.

Can someone please explain the purpose of Phil and Dan aka Phan... and why people are losing their shit over the fact that they've announced they're a couple.

As an aside, if we did that we'd be called Philip and no one would lose their shit 😂

Unflattering selfies number 492.

Good morning Matt. If that's the view I'm getting, fire every time.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 23h

...and, if I might say so, looking very good on it.

Its "Suthall" not "South Well"

I used to love Sunday afternoons in the 70s... Sing Something Simple followed by the charts.

Congrats!

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 1d

There's always ways and means 😂

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 1d

...that and your devilishly good loks of course.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 1d

... and that is why we are friends.

I'm thinking "spiced parsnip apple cake".

@burningshed.com its such a shame I don't live in Norfolk because

1. I could pick all my orders up.
2. I could bring cake when doing so.

😂

They need reporting to HR for that (not the mis-spell).

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 1d

Hopefully they'll all come out ok.

1&3 I've made before (a couple of months ago).
2 is a flavour variant on 1.
4 is a new one to me but have made dairy free cakes before.

There's only going to be 15/16 of us, so it'll be small slices of each if everyone wants to try everything. I'm sure there'll be leftovers.

Later this week I'm baking cakes for partner's birthday party (its a "big" one). He doesn't want 1 large overly decorated cake (thankfully)so...

1. Coffee walnut layer cake.
2. Lemon limoncello layer cake.
3. Chocolate caramel latte loaf cake.
4. Dairy free carrot cake.

We're both a little bit obsessed with Gaudí buildings.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 2d

We've been several times over the last 28 years 😊

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 2d

We are watching An Art Lover's Guide: Barcelona starring the delicios talents of @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social

Most enjoyable. One of my favourite places on this planet.

Can't watch the news tonight. Mainly because of all the fawning over the orange shitgibbon.
