Leftish Stax obsessive. Occasional bass, with mental health issues. Real ones. WE NEED MORE HATS. Views only mine if they're any good. Sheffield, but WWFC.

Tracy C and Time lords please

Right, I've joined a book club c/o the fabulous @kateshipway.bsky.social.

For the next book, they wanted some classic literature but not as long as, say, Anna Karenina. So I suggested Adam Bede, which I read thirty years ago and remember loving.

Going (back) in.

Lula looks very much like he's been shown a picture off camera of what the CIA will do to his family if he doesn't cooperate.

Not a good season to be a Wolves fan. We already look doomed.

Today being an exemplar for our season. At home, mediocre but competent opponents, last minute defeat. The defence has become awful. #WWFC

It's hard to see much chance of a recovery whilst Fosun hold the (v tightly controlled) reins.

@ingridandress.bsky.social Evening Ingrid. Only to say I'm listening to some of your work, which is, frankly, bloody brilliant. Helps get me through.

Mixing you with some Katherine Priddy, a folk-y singer here in the UK. Also superb.

Hoping to hear more from you. And gigs'd be really good too.

I gave away my wedding photo one year. An antique pair of sheep shears last year, obv.

In our team, we do actually give away something we have that we no longer want...

Lidl have given me a bonus having spent enough in the month. A free haircare product ffs.

They mock me. Gits.

Dignity here. Dislike the band, but a good song.

Wow. Like, wow.

Nah, I've met you. You're fabulous.

Or I've just re-watched Attack the Block. One of them maybe?

On a legitimate tangent from that, do you read John Wyndham? I read them again recently. They largely held up, I thought. The Kraken Wakes especially.

Well, the crows are mobbing something over Nether Edge. Gone out of sight too quickly for me to work out what.

Erm, I'm discounting Temptation.

Say Hello and Don't You Want Me are both superb pop records.

But Party Fears is extraordinary. So, that.

Well, hello from the floor of Sheffield Arena, where I've just seen Nadine Shah give what, frankly, was too short a support set. Liked her.

Self Esteem coming up shortly.

Afternoon Donna
Hope you're in fine form generally, and getting by today.

As time passes, I find the anniversaries almost welcome. Official permission to remember. It was my sister's earlier in the week. As you say, shit.

Afternoon. Don't know that - had to look it up. Worth reading now?

Time for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Nephews* have been let out to roam out. It's allowed sometimes

I go for Do, not Don't

Malice here, I reckon.

Cheers for this Simon. Appreciated.

In Stratford for Cyrano. Half time. Very good this far; some lovely touches. I am fearful that the second half may bring heartbreak.

I remember walking into the newsagent on the Monday morning after this (the date of the Indy story) to find it front page news on every paper.
