My first meeting tomorrow is at the crack of half past eleven. I reckon we can get away with a meeting of Late Night Album Club...

It's a shame I'm in bed and asleep because it means I'm missing out on Late Night Album Club which tonight involves Bob Dylan and All The Saxophones. But I don't know that because I'm in bed and asleep.

Sadly Mr Goldie is no longer with us but I told this story in the pub and said if I got through the song I'd just have to buy one for myself. But in the end the bar staff presented me with this.

It's time for Late Night Album club with this week's LP find. You are welcome to mock my taste as long as you do it somewhere else.

As of this week I own a turntable. Dragged kicking and screaming into the 1970s... I've just bought these in a charity shop for £1 each. I may have been overcharged.
One of these things is not like the others. I just don't know which one it is.

There was a Pride event in Dundee today. I feel a bit an imposter at these although rationally I know I shouldn't.
Anyway my phone camera app offered to straighten this photo (and my flag is in there :)). Definitely nothing funny about that. Oh no.

Hooray! The luthier has just brought Jones The String back from ukulele hospital. Sorry neighbours. But at least it's not a banjolele.

I'm sure the filkers will be thrilled to see that I got a Pegasus. Yay!
I won it for my soon too be classic toe tapper, "Handing over five pounds ten at the bar".

Well this is annoying. Jones The String, my 8 string baritone ukulele, seems to have had a mishap.
Good news for people in neighbouring hotel rooms in the next couple of days I suppose.

I've spent the afternoon at a memorial/wake for a well-loved St Andrews local, where, under instruction to "wear bright colours", I was wearing this. I regret nothing, and was told it was appreciated.
When I die, please do similar ridiculous nonsense for me, or I'll come back and haunt you.

This was a nice thing to see in the window of Lush while wandering today. I feel a sudden urge to buy all the bath bombs.

I have just received a new (okay, 20+ year old) toy to play with and frustratingly I have a rotten cold and therefore it's just not going to work yet...
On the plus side, if the cold lingers on, I have an excuse to not go to tomorrow morning's research committee meeting.

This morning I've been attempting to explain my research impact through the medium of Lego, which is curious because that's how I started. The googly eyed thing represented my wish to make a googly eyed thing.

If you've never been to Fife, this is basically what it looks like at the minute, if my typical commute is representative.

This turned up and will be proudly fixed to my coat next to all the other pins until it accidentally falls off like they always do because I'm careless.

Not a guitarist but I want to play anyway, because I spent an embarrassing amount of time choosing this. Behold Jones The String! Ukulele players of #Bluesky, show us your straps.

🎶All bound for Morningtown, many miles away 🎶
With any luck we'll have about a two hour delay because the expected arrival time is 6am and I do not believe in 6am.
