Have you heard Sleaford Mods note perfect cover?

There's no way to improve it. Even now it's still slightly mysterious. Melancholic. Like a curtain slightly parted to a world I wasn't part of at 13. Exists in the same space as non stop exotic cabaret.

Sitting in child2's wheelchair van, reading my kindle and burping while he has theatre/acting club (I guzzled a tin of pop). Only after 30 minutes of this do I realise that the wheelchair van next to me also contains a parent and that we both have our windows open. May try to style it out. Somehow.

There are 3 places I've been on holiday where I could quite happily settle if I learned the language. Reykjavik, Berlin and Ghent.

Perilous 90 minute drive up an icy road to have Michelin star food on the side of a dormant volcano. Memories are made of this stuff.

Ion adventure hotel, Iceland. A concrete block with a huge picture window on the side of a volcano with the northern lights above. The front of the hotel is on stilts to keep it level as the volcano slopes away.

I was quite scandi obsessed for a while - GusGus, The Knife, MuM. Probs not helped my going to Reykjavik for Maria's 40th and deciding I'd quite like to live there.

Based on a UK & Ireland confectionery brand, I realise this might not compute with my overseas followers. However, many thanks to @thephoenixmagazine for publishing this #climatecrisis #cartoon

Have you ever managed to see them live? Bloody amazing! I've been a fan since Polydistortion too - ploughing their own gorgeous furrow ever since.

I bumped into Bigir at Gatwick once & just babbled at him about what a fan I was. The he asked me which train platform to get to Victoria. Happy days!

Arabian Horse is full of gentle squelchy interludes. Like this.

There's a commitment there - it's not half-arsed. Pinball machine is the chef's kiss
