#Crewe town centre looks even more deserted than usual. Did the zombie apocalypse happen while I was asleep? Mind you it's hard to tell the undead from the living nowadays. 🧟‍♂️

At least their not in cahoots or I wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Boom Boom 😂

I conclude that my left leg, calf muscle to be specific, is living up to its sinister reputation and is punishing me for daring to exercise. 🫤

Getting down to a bit more recording today. Bo Hannson meets Billy Currie?

It seems Lidl now has self-serve checkouts. I know a lot of people object to these, but when you are in a long queue for the till it's a godsend.

One ear has gone on strike, which is a bit unfortunate when you are trying to record something.

I'm very glad to hear Zephyr is OK and that Alice Grace survived the flood. A sort of mini Noah's Ark.

This seems appropriate given that we have loonies in charge of two major powers.

What's wrong with the Saxons then, are we not good enough for you? Bloody philosophers!

Nice to meet up with my friend @mikeaitchy.bsky.social at Crewe Heritage Centre while he was volunteering as a guide in one of the signal boxes. I find the old technology both fascinating and ingenious. It's well worth a visit to see how things used to be done.

I'm taking a break from Facebook the level of toxicity on Zuckerberg's platform is ramping up with orange one's state visit to the UK. I am considering making this permanent.

Speakeasy shenanigans at Jumpin Jac's Jive Joint. Many cocktails were consumed. 🍸 @tomstapandbrew.bsky.social

Union Jack flags on Dalton mosque put up by owners not protesters

Yes, take away the ownership of nationality from the far right bigots. Source: BBC

South Lakes Islamic Centre says it put up the flags because the mosque is "proudly part of Britain".

A coffee and raspberry Bakewell slice in #crewe #uk. Although the town centre has been decimated by "progress", there are still some simple pleasures.

The weekend slipped by with a smoked lager and a smokey single malt scotch whiskey. @tomstapandbrew.bsky.social

Slightly hungover after a rather splendid Jamaican Independence Day Celebration at @tomstapandbrew.bsky.social. The booze was soaked up by delicious mac n cheese with jerk chicken, courtesy of The Sunshine Street Food Company. And we all grooved along to some classic reggae. Good time! 😁☀️😎

My local brewery and bar @tomstapandbrew.bsky.social has just been awarded The South Cheshire CAMRA seasonal pub of the year award for summer. It's very well deserved.

Seems like I can't get enough of canals. I'm off to Nantwich Marina for the floating market. Pictures to follow.
