Did someone mention coconut creams? My favourite biscuits. 😋

Livestream it, so that I can go with you (kind of).

Earth at night viewed from space.

It's given me some horrible sunburn in the past.

I bet you wouldn't do that to Venus. 😉

You just love those aliens. They're out there somewhere, just waiting to be discovered. 😉

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump declared himself a Flat Earther.

I watched a great programme on TV last night in which you were interviewed at the time of Relax being banned. It really struck me about how unfair, absurd and ridiculous this was. However, it did generate great publicity for the song. I remember everyone talking about it at school. We all loved it.

If it's a red shirt party, I'm in. 🥃

That sounds great Paul. I'd love to see your episode(s). I remember watching a documentary that William Shatner made when he did a real life trip into space. It was fascinating and also very emotional. Highly recommended viewing.

That looks like a nice spot for us to put out the deck chairs. 😎

But the sun is clearly still shining in your heart, and that's what matters. 🌞

Oh, and happy birthday. 🥳

Getting older does not necessarily mean getting old.

Bamboozle.

I really wish I could see you there. I'd love to hear about your concepts for Venus exploration, particularly any ideas about robust apparatus that would be able to operate below the clouds. That's dreamland!

It raises the question did Venus also have life at some point in the distant past? Perhaps the conditions were once right for microbial life and who knows, something more sophisticated to evolve.

Jaws was the very first film I saw twice in the cinema. I might have been just a little boy at the time but I was still smart enough to know a great movie when I saw one.

Very natty Holly. It would look great at a ceilidh.

Imagine the view of those rings from the surface of Mimas. It would be one of the most majestic sights in the entire solar system.

A surprisingly arty portrait of a very glamorous and photogenic planet. I like it. 😍

Good luck with this new release Jerome. I'm very keen to hear it. I have no doubt it will be superb.

You're looking very dapper in this clip Holly. The greatest showman of the era.

This is the most intense tsunami footage I've ever seen.

It purportedly shows the tsunami from the 29 July Mw 8.8 quake in Kamchatka, Russia, filmed in that same region.

Didn't get a chance to visit The Holly Johnson Story at the Museum of Liverpool? You can now experience a 3D virtual tour of the exhibition here: my.matterport.com/show/?m=4CXe...

That looks just like the 21st century utopian future that I visualised when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s.

Ten years ago today.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft made the first—and so far only—visit to Pluto.

This is a true-colour image mosaic of this enigmatic world, processed to match what our eyes would see if we were there ourselves.

For fuck’s sake.

I really hope that one day we can see this at surface level. Just imagine gorgeous high definition photographs from Titan with the same clarity and detail as the current Mars pictures. Viewing the landscape from the edge of the methane lake would be wonderful.

Well done Holly. You deserve a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine after that. ☺️
