Record Store Day at Vinilo Records Southampton, They had sold out of the 7 inch single Come up and see me (Make me smile) originally released 50 years ago and one of the first singles I ever bought.

Went tp see the wonderful Thea Gilmore last night. My first time but I have been a fan for 30 years. Spoke to her after the show and apologised for being late to the party. She is such a nice person. #TheaGilmore #livemusic #Papillon

Nothing like competent parents to make you feel you do not meet the grade. But do they have a record player or tickets to see Thea Gilmore and Better Joy next week? I rest my case.

One wonders whether the irony of hiding and interview with a campaigner who is concerned and reduced welfare behind a paywall is lost in the i. Very pleased with the quote that those living with MS are not wastrels or ne'er-do-wells. #disability #multiplesclerosis #PIP

Listen from 13:37 to hear a text from John in Southampton (I wonder who that is?) who updates the nation on both a Chuck Prophet gig he attended and say that as he has Multiple Sclerosis he is resting up.

Halting the progress of multiple sclerosis What we know, and what we want to find out...

Well worth a listen to learn more about Multiple Sclerosis. I am lucky not to have the uncertainty of Relapsing Remitting MS. I mourn my old life but I step forward to embrace the future and what it will bring. #disability #multiplesclerosis #nexttattoo

Don't sell our NHS for a trade deal with Trump Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not open the door to US healthcare profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during deal negotiations....
