I was badly stung by nettles earlier. I paid £95 for a signed photo of Bergerac.

I often run past his old house in the evenings. Headington Hill Hall, a grandiouse old pile now an admin block for Oxfordshire County Council. Stunning looking place, overlooking the city. When he lived there he 'proudly' boasted it was the most expensive 'council' house in the country..

As an 8 year old in 1975, 'Zygons' pretty good, enjoyed. This, 'Planet of Evil' absolutely terrified me, just the atmosphere, feeling of doom, hugely frightening. Still feel the same.

Cally's in the lounge watching 'Strictly', I'm cooking in the kitchen listening to a podcast about the 1968 American Presidential Election. Happy in our worlds. Will both shortly convene over a pasta bake and a bottle of Rioja. 😀

A plea.

Stop buying plastic skeletons to celebrate Halloween.

It's terrible for the environment.

Locally sourced, all-natural skeletons are much more environmentally friendly..

Me and my Dad drinking Light & Bitter in 'The Blind Beggar' pub in Whitechapel. May Bank Holiday Monday 1990. Mum was born in the East End so we both went up looking for her old street in Canning Town. Found the street but where her house should have been was a Carpet Right!😁

Popped into my local ASDA earlier for the first time in ages. Glad to see my favourite worker still wandering around. She stalked me around the aisles a few years ago, just staying out of sight, before stopping me at the till with the immortal line "Excuse me. Were you a contestant on 'The Voice'?"😄

My mustard coloured tripod table really delivers when watching Lovejoy drain all of the heat from Moonbase Alpha.

Robin Hill too. Quite brilliant in an early Ben Wheatley film 'Down Terrace' from 2009. Well worth a watch.

Plucked loads off it over the summer. Good quality, nice heat. Bought from a local family run garden centre as usual.
