I've just played #Wings doing the Crossroads Theme and have to say it's one of my favourite and best things #Wings ever did
(My Mum was a Crossroads addict: in her chair, cosy, fag lit: and whenever it ended VERY DRAMATICALLY (rare) they'd substitute the polite usual end-theme for the #Wings versh)

Ye other night I watched a 1979 #TOTP that began with The Jam doing ‘Eton Rifles’ with an unengaged Weller phoning in the miming and near the end schoolkids singing ‘I’m Only A Poor Little Sparrow (It’s A Shame)’. The best act by miles were Darts doing ‘Daddy Cool/The Girl Can’t Help It’ #NowPlaying

An Arctic blast, a day of heavy snow, a long journey to the dentist. The round trip is 150 miles across wild mountainous country but oh! the compensations.

Just had our chimney swept: local firm ‘established 1850’ - isn’t that fabulous?

Properly chilly for the first time this autumn.
In a coincidence this morning my mother sent over a photo of Aldeburgh in winter, 1971. This is the year nobody noticed my baby face had been swapped by fairies for features carved into a turnip.
