There are Christmas albums and there are Christmas albums. This is the latter. Superb production and sumptuous bass, brought to you by the man instrumental in the discovery of the Beatles. Happy advent. #christmasmusic #bertkaempfert #thebeatles #vinyl

Spot the difference: On the left, Kellogg's "New improved" All-Bran - that's universally hated - compared to the original. Naturally the whole box of the new stuff went in the bin. The end of an era and of me as a Kellog's customer. Shades of the "New Coke" debacle... #allbran #kellogs #unholycockup

Casper taking a break from wheeking at the moon this evening and lurking in a paper bag. He is one noisy were-pig. #guineapig #fullmoon

Our 2 new guinea pigs have a Californian mother (famous for their black snouts) so it’s not surprising they are getting dark noses. However, at the moment, Stanley’s colouring could be considered… unfortunate. #guineapig #toothbrushmoustache #charliechaplin #mustache #notadictator

D-Day for introductions: our two new Teddies are in with Norman. After 10 minutes in statue mode and some initial skirmishes it all went quiet. I was expecting Armageddon after 5 minutes. #guineapigs

Two new guinea pigs arrived with us last week, both 3 month old teddies.
Stanley on the left, Casper on the right. Casper is a cutie. Stanley on the other hand… #guineapig

Is there such a thing as a Machiavellian Guinea pig? I think so. He just stands by the new boys, watches and plots. #guineapig

Passport stamps. They are a dying breed. To mark 15 years since my father's passing I wrote a liitle piece with a few of the entry & visa stamps he collected on his travels in the early 60s. Plus an interesting travel itinerary! #passport #visa #travel

June edition of the German Rolling Stone magazine with a cover mounted 7inch single of Genesis’ The Carpet Crawlers. Proper record too, none of this stylus destroying flexi-disc malarkey. #vinyl #genesis #rollingstone
