My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social really needs some work.
AI has had a very detrimental effect on his earnings this year.
ChatGTP doesn’t have bills to pay and doesn’t have to worry constantly.
Please repost far and wide because I don’t like to see ‘Sad Matt’

My dad had a huge regard for Paul Robeson, not just as a singer and actor, but as a political activist. He was massively popular, especially in Wales.

I notice it would also have been Luciano Pavarotti’s 90th birthday today. Took my dad to see him at Leeds Castle in 2004, one of his last performances. Dad was delighted and said it was one of the best concerts he’d ever seen in his life, topped only by seeing Paul Robeson perform when he was a kid.

Just completed a job application in under an hour, two hours before deadline. I *can* go up several gears when I have to. (Though I haven’t had any dinner yet, unless you count mushroom paté on toast mid afternoon.)

Joni playing and Jimi recording her. Imagine being there in 1968. #stilldreaming

I have an old school friend called Graham Nash. Known him since I was about 13. I suspect he’s heard every CSNY joke going.

I looked and from what I can find it seems you might be right, but they include Redruth. I’m surprised, I thought St Austell or Truro would be bigger.

Are there really that many people in Camborne? There’s only half that in Truro (or so I thought)

Couple of miles along the coastline in a brisk onshore isn’t a bad way to rein in the desponds. I could almost sit in the shed and watch the night for another hour, but there are things to do that should have already been done.

Dusk falls on St Anthony Head, patron saint of coffee lovers and vampire slayers everywhere.

Spooky season approaches. In a week or two it’ll be pitch dark up here by this hour.

Corrinne F @traviata.bsky.social · 8h

Bit more autumnal today.

I got those Sunday blues. Guess I should go outside.

Absolutely this. So often I’m squinting at a night scene, wondering if my vision is failing. Also, bring back sound clarity.

Thinking about Diane Keaton in Reds and just remembered the slightly bizarre poster for the film, which as I think someone pointed out at the time resembles Warren Beatty clutching a bundle of period laundry.

Never knowingly miss an opportunity to replug my Ron and Russell interview from Meltdown week. Spiked by Uncut at the time for reasons best left to themselves. Why yes, skippy. That's right. It is one of the best interviews I ever did.

Currently in the grip of an anxious fret. Like a human guitar.

We used to have genuinely wide cultural coverage - film, theatre, arts, even philosophy. Remember Voices on Channel 4?

Never change, local Facebook page. Someone posted a photo of a black and white pigeon and said “just seen this bird on the pier, size of a pigeon, can anyone tell me what it is?”. Someone has replied beneath “It IS a pigeon.” Someone else referred to a ‘ferrell’ pigeon. 21 replies.

I would absolutely love to wake up every now and then and find that (a) I wasn’t completely knackered and (b) something somewhere on me didn’t hurt. Like I did when I was ten.

Who would have thought that Ron Mael not only has immaculate taste but immaculate reasoning too. This is a beaut of a read from start to finish.

"The Who were charming to me when they were writing more situational songs. They didn’t necessarily concern world shattering issues, but instead really beautiful, miniature statements. [and] I love the artwork with the Heinz Baked Beans."

The Who Sell Out album cover. Pete Townshend has a giant deodorant under his arm and Roger Daltrey is sat in a tub filled with baked beans whilst holding a Heinz can. He also has baked beans on his face, clearly indicating that he has been eating them.

An incredible performer. A genuine star.

I have wide feet and almost all proper shoes cause me pain (which is why I live in trainers). I’ve been trying to find some that look nice enough for an interview but don’t make me weep with agony after an hour.

Corrinne F @traviata.bsky.social · 14h

I really like those. I’ve been trying to find a pair that actually fit, though, because unfortunately my feet are not as dainty or comfortable as they were when I last wore Start-Rites
