Very nice find on the beach this morning. A piece of "pier pottery" from the old pier restaurant from the 40s or 50s. With the full Walton Pier Ltd logo on the rim of the plate.

Had the best time djing at the Rivoli Ballroom Northern Soul night on Friday. Alongside the GO!GIRLS team. Lucienne, Ali & Tina. 400 people and the dancefloor was electric.

I made my first proper cake for a good 15 years. Feeling ridiculously pleased with myself. And it was bloody delicious.

Fire on Rowley Way. Thick smoke everywhere. Firefighters are here but can't even see them through the smoke!

Free NYE party at the Priory Tavern on Belsize Road in Kilburn. Live music from Buster Cornelius & The Kilburn Priors and four local DJs all playing some lovely vinyl. Come on down!

Someone in the house may have got some Joy Division oven gloves (thank you Iain) but look what Santa just bought me! Once I get my hands on 3 AA batteries there's going to be no stopping me. Baileys for breakfast and a Stylophone that only has instructions in German? What could possibly go wrong!!

First Snowball of the season.

The Christmas Baileys has already been consumed. Just the emergency Aldi Ballycastle Cream left. Read the label. 28 servings in a 70cl bottle? You are shitting me!

Some get rehoused by the council in quiet seaside towns in Essex. Once the arcades close, they often turn to drink.

Can we go back to the simple pleasures of of posting pictures of vintage pencil sharpeners now? This was my dad's. Possibly 70 years old. Brings me joy.

BlueSky has sent me down a rabbit hole tonight that ended here. There are worse places to be.

Still plenty of decent vinyl out there at knock down prices. 50p each from Format Music in Walton on the Naze. One of my favourite record shops. (They aren't over here yet but I'm sure it won't be long).

Quite fancying a beach office?
