Somebody's idea of a "perfect Christmas" differs considerably from mine.....

So I've just met Michael Sheen. Like you do.

He was completely charming.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

After a very early start this morning courtesy of my Mam having a minor fall (she's recovered and doing very well), lunch will be made happier by a carrot that looks like a rabbit.

Spotted this place on my #BusCommute home. Wonder what the menu's like? White bread only I imagine, and all their offerings are unpalatable. #satire

Umm, are you sure the Bethany Chapel is just 20 years old, BBC Wales...?

Today's show reminds me of this piece of wisdom that went viral a few years back. I hope everyone listening in is suitably fascinated!

I've been actively trying to avoid coverage of that man for years, but I can't help but wonder if he did attempt it, and if the attempt sounded like this....

Unsolicited picnic (am I doing this right...?)

Graham Nash tonight defied every single one of his eighty-three years. Still passionate about his music, still energised, still angry. If you get a chance to see him, do it.

....and that's the first single from the new anarcho-folk band 'Hot Custard', from Droitwich.

Now, here's one from 'The Fall'....

I'm on a bus. I want to go to Cardiff city centre, I'm a bit worried about the destination of this one.... #BusCommute

My entry to the #GettyMuseumChallenge that happened early in the pandemic. Done with a cheap pipe bought off the internet, some blu-tack, a wall with textured wallpaper, and 30 seconds with MS Paint.

That hairstyle reminds me of another Scottish icon.... #TOTP

Spotted on the M4. They're getting quite brazen these days, aren't they? What next, Sea Devil Pneumatics...?

@rhyskamjones.bsky.social Found it. Apologies for quality of the photo but this was nearly 20 years ago (so camera not as advanced as now), also the museum was quite dimly lit, & of course flash couldn't be used. Not an exact copy of the dragon, but too close for my liking.

With the sad news about @booksellercrow.bsky.social's passing, there was only one choice of t-shirt to wear today. RIP. 💙📚
