Weather is particularly disagreeable this afternoon after a decent start to the day. Nevertheless, the Gosforth Charity Shops have been as gladdening as ever. Brook Tavener shirt and Autograph wool coat with change from £16. Auld neck/whiskers: model’s own.

Another good win for United’s under 18’s today. Low key progressing very well behind City’s Gold Standard.

I can only judge ‘racy’ television against a fairly low benchmark. Apologies for misjudging.

One of multiple recent trips into Newcastle on the bus this morning (I’m away to Manchester). Fleet could do with an upgrade (that’s happening*), but punctuality and journey times way better than they were a couple of years back. Fares capped too. Good.

Digging through some (between) lockdown photos when I maxed out my allotted ‘outside’ time away from work by walking around with camera. What a strange time that was. Anyway, this was December 2020 with a sweet little Minolta zoom lens.

Had a good few tears there, that’s really hit hard. An absolute force of nature. We’ve lost one of the true greats.
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride.

Looks like we may have, sadly, lost a very dedicated prog fan judging by what was on offer at Mind in Jesmond today. Multiple copies of various 7 and 12 inch releases from Banks, Rutherford and - especially - Collins. Japanese import Genesis singles in a charity shop? New one on me.

Be a fucking good day for at least one European leader to take this stance. Stitched right up.
