A timeline cleanse, if needed.
It’s Zaph Camden and Groupie Jonsdottir!
We’re happy because we’re from Europe.
And we have each other.
And also watermelon.

Zaph & Groupie have been enjoying the old classics with a classic spin on things, in the company of the London Symphonic Rock Orchestra.

Why anyone would want the 80s back when the 70s exist is beyond me.

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 1d

Not so much indecent as insane!

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 2d

Groupie has been enjoying these repeats.

We’re Scottish (although I think Groupie’s secretly Icelandic)
So you’re just the same as us, then, only with more maple syrup 👍🏻 🇨🇦

You’d probably need to be clothed in the climate we live in 😊

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 2d

I would say have a day of treating yourself, perhaps in another town where you can imagine packing these feelings somewhere and leaving them there.
It’s the last few days of this moon this weekend which is a good time for endings so if you can do it then, so much the better. 🌙

Happy birthday Corin, who reminds me so much of Groupie. I think the four of us would get on well if we met up.
Preferably in a naturist setting of course 👍

Pretty much as it would appear now, given the position of the moon. Lovely.

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 4d

A lovely city!

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 4d

Am reminded of the PornoSec department of 1984 (the novel, not the year)

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 4d

Proof positive we’re in the dark timeline.

Dan @danofthewibble.bsky.social · 4d

I’d prefer beef.

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 4d

This would be my equivalent (and yes, I’ve got it already)

Difficult choice; the UK Gold bar set from the mid 1990s were lovely, as was the Yorkshire Liquid Gold one, but…

Lovely.
I first saw A Hard Day’s Night late at night on TV and loved it. Always loved coming across 1960s films/TV shows during my teenage years, gave me a real taste of nostalgia for a period of time I never experienced.

Even up here the occasional Post Brenhinol logo on the uniform shirts appear. Not sure whether that’s a mistake or personal request though.

(As I never leave the building on business I’m exempt from uniform requirements. Which is fun, people visiting think I’m a manager sometimes 😆)

Have had to write a resume (or a CV as we call them here) for the first time in about twenty years.

Fortunately the iOS Pages app has templates for that kind of thing so I’m able to knock one up on my commute to work which will suffice for the purposes I’ll need it for…

🎵 Oh the viewing’s sublime, from the north, channel nine,
That’s Granada,
And those programmes will shine on all 405 lines
From Granada! 🎶

Is this the “only fans” thing I’ve heard so much about? 😛

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 5d

The lesson from this 23rd day of the moon is;

Don’t expect those in charge to know any more than you do. They’re just bluffing it like everyone else hoping their position ensures no one calls them out on it.

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 6d

Under relentless supervision, no doubt…

Zaph Camden @zaphcamden.bsky.social · 7d

Seen on Groupie’s travels.
We’re wondering what the story behind this one is…

I have to describe this as alt-text for those who cannot see and to be honest I’m not sure what to write here.
OK, it’s some kind of purple vibrator. There I said the word, are you happy now?

The Australians liked them hard hitting too. Here’s one of theirs. youtu.be/S_Hw4IOk6d4?...

Had fun in Montrose visiting Groupie’s family down there, where we did moon card readings for her cousin. Here’s some other things that caught my eye there.

A moon card reading. Three cards showing moon-based artwork and the legends;

Bring love into the situation
New Moon in Aquarius

A new start is coming!

They’re now all bragging about the time they all got pneumonia.
Luckily we’ll be getting off in fifteen minutes.
Still, nice to see the Scotrail “no alcohol rule” is being as rigidly enforced as ever.
