I went for the first time recently. Really interesting, but how come there's virtually no nave?

A salary of Β£1,000 billion is so far beyond obscene that there aren't even words for it. Farcical that it got voted through.

I've seen The Unthanks at the namesake in Nottingham and Maren Morris last night at the Manchester version. Both good venues. Manchester especially.

And go see Lawrence if you can. They're back over soon, and superb.

Well, this is excellent. And right.

I am a bit conflicted, mind. Yes, you deserve a wider stage. But it's fabulous seeing you in a small venue.

Gary O'Neil!?!
*sighs*

What makes Fosun think he'll succeed if he returns? Apart from that he's unemployed.

With my mate who runs the choir I'm in, we started a #WeeklyMusicCall in lockdown. Two hours of playing new-to-the-other music, of any genre, time, place. We're still going. Have learned a huge amount.

Oh, I still listen to them. Though less so than I did, simply as the range I listen to has expanded a lot over the last few years. From Tallis through jazz, folk, country. I'm going to see Rattle conduct Stravinsky soon. Plus Lawrence, who are as good a live band as I've ever seen.

Watching last night's #GirlGroups show from BBC2. Pretty much a solid wall of absolute bangers. Well, one or two less epic. But it's got B*Witched, who had that 2 mins 57s of pop perfection with C'est L Vie. Clearly the most important.

I'm going for Madame George. My funeral needs an extended fantasia about a Belfast drag queen.

Genuinely was a joy to see, both via NT Live and in the flesh.

Saw Dear England here last week. Good to see James Graham still keeping up the quality.

This is a superb choir version of one of my favourite songs: Lawrence's Don't Lose Sight. They've really captured the joy of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Biwx...

I wasn't looking for this, but I've just seen a copy of The Warlock of Love up for Β£450. Blimey. The jacket's in a little better nick than mine, mind. Both first editions. #MarcBolan

Autumn colour at Wardsend this morning. The River Don, the entrance to the cemetery taken from the bridge and a view from the top of the main path near the old Sheffield to Manchester railway line.

Well, Wolves continue to find new ways to plumb the depths. Looking totally clueless and hopeless at the moment. I can't see how it changes, even they get rid of Pereira.

That new contract looks ever more daft. Plus Fosun still seem disinclined to sell. So, down we go. #WWFC

It's utterly magnificent.
Up with the carrot game and Shaun's proudest moments.

My mate whom I do #WeeklyMusicCall with after me a couple of tracks of Dieter Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert not long back. Seriously good.

Right, I've joined a book club c/o the fabulous @kateshipway.bsky.social.

For the next book, they wanted some classic literature but not as long as, say, Anna Karenina. So I suggested Adam Bede, which I read thirty years ago and remember loving.

Going (back) in.

Lula looks very much like he's been shown a picture off camera of what the CIA will do to his family if he doesn't cooperate.

Not a good season to be a Wolves fan. We already look doomed.

Today being an exemplar for our season. At home, mediocre but competent opponents, last minute defeat. The defence has become awful. #WWFC

It's hard to see much chance of a recovery whilst Fosun hold the (v tightly controlled) reins.

@ingridandress.bsky.social Evening Ingrid. Only to say I'm listening to some of your work, which is, frankly, bloody brilliant. Helps get me through.

Mixing you with some Katherine Priddy, a folk-y singer here in the UK. Also superb.

Hoping to hear more from you. And gigs'd be really good too.

I gave away my wedding photo one year. An antique pair of sheep shears last year, obv.

In our team, we do actually give away something we have that we no longer want...

Lidl have given me a bonus having spent enough in the month. A free haircare product ffs.

They mock me. Gits.
