#mwe Once I thought of this I couldn't unthink it until it was done
I paused my run for ten minutes to hunt down this Cetti's warbler, but finally I saw it - never again will I bother to stare at a shrub to look for one #birds
I saw them on a whim at Green Man last month and you're right - it's just great guitar rock, plain as
Most weird is that this strange album ends with one of his most conventional songs in years, Strangers When We Meet, such an overlooked single that could be jostling higher up the table of Bowie songs with a different context
Always wonder in a new season if the new Sky graphics can handle an extra temporal digit on the scoreboard clock. I thought this would be football's Y2K moment, but it held on. We held on. #HolyHundred
Ah you mean a gooskey
A female mandarin duck, and a mystery hefty duck that really waddled over with passion and you could feel the earth shake - what is it? #birds at Osterley Park
The Hindu Times would have more clout about it if it wasn't ripping off a Stereophonics album-track of all things
Look at this excellent duck. Ask a child to draw a duck, and this is what you'd get. Quintessential duck. What this non-native duck is doing in Snaresbook park is another question #birb
I only heard Spinning Away for the first time recently and was just struck down by it - wonderful song
Twirling, twirling towards freedom
Interesting, I just wish the sound was more dynamic. Some of its most inventive moments feel shy and get flattened - production doesn't immerse me
Toscakaka: an almond sponge topped with caramelised marzipan almonds. Note the speed holes in the sponge, to make the cake go faster #baking
Very glad to hear, still on my list - her presence at Green Man in 22 was so infectious, and her back catalogue is littered with such beautiful songs
I liked their previous two albums but this feels like a proper step up - favourite album of the year so far, similar vibe to Wishy last year
I was in an indie 80s Music League league and this was a real highlight for me! So many little bands like this who I'd not have heard otherwise
I wonder if the screen reader just screams out in pain
Release Myself is a lovely song
FFS, don't tell me I need to have watched all previous nine series and 18 episodes to understand this one
Baking with barm: a deep (if dense) fruitcake and a wonderfully soft white loaf #baking
This is exceptional, thank you. Surely the most one-sided stardom:budget ratio around
Are we still accepting new albums? Might I posit We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It!!'s (or simply Fuzzbox) glam-pop romp Big Bang! youtu.be/ZF0aHzNtYsk?...

#mwe Roberta Flack - Feel Like Makin' Love: I must confess that her supposed magnum opus First Take rather passed me by, but this for whatever reason had a much more profound and enriching experience. Rightly an icon
#mwe Blue Sky Black Death - Noir: Is there such a thing as too much euphoria? I feel like I need to work for grand pay-offs, but here I'm being spoonfed catharsis
