Putting @vannorden.bsky.social’s idea out there, in the hope it gains traction.

Look what I’m doing Rose.

Sometime in the noughties. Banging on about the same old things.

At an art event I am standing in front of a car designed by Peter Blake, holding a sign that says JANN HAWORTH CO-DESIGNED THE SGT PEPPER ALBUM COVER.

We’ve been to the big pet shop.

A small terrier type dog is half under a shelving unit in Pets at Home, searching for snacks.

I’d happily shimmy up a lamppost with that.

We could reclaim the lampposts with the cross of Susan George.
In fact let’s do bunting.
We could have the cross of George Harrison. The cross of George and Mildred. The cross of Boy George. The cross of George Michael. The cross of George Orwell. The cross of George at Asda…

Perhaps he could crowbar in some joke about why there are only 3 women on the bill, alongside 26 men?

To boost his pension, my old mate Mark is selling 1950s records over on Facebook. I hope you guys buy some cos he has neither the temperament nor the eyesight for lollypopmanning. Find him there at Mark’s Rock and Roll records for sale.

Sadly, the way @bookshop.org is set up means indie authors are excluded. Hence the reliance on Amazon for those not supported by the industry. Having said that, I much prefer when readers buy direct from me. I get a far bigger %, make a personal connection and payment hits my account the same day.

Invigorating. Thanks.

One of my favorite Twitter accounts is Steely Dance. They take random videos of people dancing and put a Steely Dan song to it.

I don’t know when pouting became a thing, but I wish gurning would return as the default when having a photo taken.

#LifeInANorthernTown

A street in Yorkshire with terraced houses both sides of the road. It’s a very sunny autumn morning with long shadows. There is a washing line stretched across the road, the white sheets luminescent against the dark terraced housing.
