Ironically I hope it was a hawthorn or similar puncture, Schwalbe-branded inner tubes have proved to be impressively airtight with no top up needed for weeks on end. So I’ll be disappointed if a seam has ripped or the valve has gone.

Do you have one of these? Game changer in the tyre lever stakes!

Nothing obvious on the tyre at first glance - my money is on you hexing me with talk of hawthorns last week! 😆

Gah indeed! But at least it was a case of weary resignation on the short walk home rather than a roadside tantrum twenty miles out. I’ll fix it later within arm’s reach of a cup of tea. 😆

"Oh fiddlesticks!" I cheerfully exclaimed as I pulled over less than a mile out. 😐

I will face my modular.
I will permit it to pass over my bank account and through my bank account.
And when it has gone through my bank account, I will turn the inner eye to see my statement.
Where the modular has gone there will be nothing.
Only my overdraft will remain.

The view from Friday afternoon.
The interior of No.2 Baker Street, a pub in Stirling, Scotland.

Missed my chance, a while back Mr Lee stayed at the hotel where my wife worked. She had a lovely chat with him, if she texted me and kept him talking I could have jumped in the car.

If memory serves I picked up my copy from a bargain bin. Must be worth thousands now.

I’ve often disregarded plugins because of horrible GUIs. A while back Cherry Audio released a flagship synth (instead of their usual clones) and the interface looked so much like a SynthEdit car crash I didn’t even bother listening to it. A bit judgy I know, but one has standards!

Atmosphere vampires? What do you want in a local cafe, a show band and a conga line?

Wide awake at 4AM having dreamt about repurposing my old Roland digital multitrack as a performance mixer. Got up and scribbled what I had visualised (and audiated) while in a half-awake state. Yes, today I also learned that "audiate" is the aural equivalent of "visualise". So, hurrah for insomnia?

I saw it on a shelf the other day but didn’t give in to my darkest impulses. But I might falter next time. 😆

From the archives, Plasma Flasks getting their shoegaze on with yours truly on vocals.
Plasma Flasks - Revolving
From 2008 this is the first video I made to accompany a track, on this occasion as a member of the band Plasma Flasks. Not much to it, I knocked it together in Windows…

For that price bracket I’m assuming it’s electric switchable glass. But even if that’s the case, it still means the porcelain throne is always on display in one’s swanky bedroom when the Crapping Cube (TM) is unoccupied.

IT LIVES!
My old Roland VS-840EX digital multitrack that I modded years ago then put in the loft and forgot about. Thoughts haven’t turned to how I can repurpose it, perhaps as a drone machine/no-input mixer type thing.

Someone showed them the Oblique Strategies card "Repetition is a form of change" and it gave them the fear.
