It's an incredible piece.
I will always read anything by Gideon Haigh, but nothing has quite floored me like this long and very personal piece. Big thank you to @bytonywilson.bsky.social for cross-posting it.

I really love The Cat Empire's 'Where the Angels Fall' record. The back to back songs for Felix's brother are just incredible. One of the great albums.

We decorate the trees in our street. This is the third year.

Oh, Oxford Street, tree art thou?
Our street has an annual street tree art exhibition. It's organised by our neighbour Matt Clare of Mono Design, and it's a lovely excuse to stand in the street and sip sparking wine with neighbours.

My son Jack's in an acting group called ShineNow for kids and young adults with disabilities. They made a film last term about a heist of Taylor Swift tickets.
I play the villain Arthur.
Jack plays Daniel.
Very fun.

Happy birthday to me! I'm on the cusp tonight that Van Halen called 5150. I made a post with a photo from each decade.
