I'm loving Jim Ghedi little ration book of poetry - cutely produced it would fit in your purse. Not read them all, but I'm already thinking, could I turn them into songs... :-p

I could have done with more time at the thereedorganworkshop.co.uk - I took my newly acquired Billhorn Telescopic Harmonium for some mucked TLC. Carl was super helpful & knowledgeable taking me thru how these instruments work & demos of their awesome sounds.

Oh wow! I’ve just been followed by Johnny Marr - I had no idea he was living in Nigeria and was so hard up his sick mother can’t afford her medicine. 💊 being the generous person I am I emptied my bank account via Wells Farage,

Every little helps ❤️‍🩹

Dusting off some old songs. Songs I’d kind of written off a steaming pile of doggy doo - what’s nice is rediscovering them again - and being kinder to them and in away kinder oneself ♥️

“I'm at sea again and now your hurricane
Have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail, can you hear its tender frame?
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves”

During my travels across hyper-text-uality I came across this video of Lucy Farrell I'd not seen before - 9 years ago. And for those who follow this - she's sporting a bob haircut!
