Very nice find on the beach this morning. A piece of "pier pottery" from the old pier restaurant from the 40s or 50s. With the full Walton Pier Ltd logo on the rim of the plate.

Love, love this tune. But the 7" I play out has developed a jump. 12" is just for home.

Had the best time djing at the Rivoli Ballroom Northern Soul night on Friday. Alongside the GO!GIRLS team. Lucienne, Ali & Tina. 400 people and the dancefloor was electric.

That was an intense 20 minutes. Too drained to eat now.

I made my first proper cake for a good 15 years. Feeling ridiculously pleased with myself. And it was bloody delicious.

We are in with all the windows closed. It's a flat rather than a car in the garages. Awful.

Fire on Rowley Way. Thick smoke everywhere. Firefighters are here but can't even see them through the smoke!

Free NYE party at the Priory Tavern on Belsize Road in Kilburn. Live music from Buster Cornelius & The Kilburn Priors and four local DJs all playing some lovely vinyl. Come on down!

Someone in the house may have got some Joy Division oven gloves (thank you Iain) but look what Santa just bought me! Once I get my hands on 3 AA batteries there's going to be no stopping me. Baileys for breakfast and a Stylophone that only has instructions in German? What could possibly go wrong!!

Once dozed off on a white leather sofa and rolled onto a stray malteser. It was carnage. Unbelievable amount of chocolate from one small sweet.

The Christmas Baileys has already been consumed. Just the emergency Aldi Ballycastle Cream left. Read the label. 28 servings in a 70cl bottle? You are shitting me!
