That's from the 2022 Football World Cup.
But it's still brilliant.
I have a "Yma o Hyd, you Sons of Speed" T-shirt (well, you know this of course!)
Carlo Rizzi! Wow, I remember him from his WNO days.
Tonight’s dinner had a bit of a French vibe with a Lotte Dunkerqouise (or monkfish in beer) from Sophie Grigson. Italian beer so I guess that makes it fusion cuisine?
Oh, it’s a classical art image 😂
Ffiw!
#NowPlaying I think it might be a Telemann afternoon. Elizabeth Watts and Rachel Podger? I'm there for that...
In 1976, Wales reached the last eight of the European Championships. It remains the only time they topped their qualification group. This is a lovely documentary about it. And those faces - Dai Davies, John Mahoney, Leighton James, Leighton Phillips...even "Jimmy" Hadziabdic!
There should be a separate section in the shops, "Hot Cross Buns for Grown-ups".
She does like duvet-changing days!
#Caturday
The greatest song ever written about a motorcycle …
And yes. Save a life. Look out for motorcycles .
Still time...
Toxteth o'Grady!
Pub quiz question, innit!
I think it is. Oh well, still nice!
Tonight’s dinner : spaghetti with crab. Pinch of cayenne, parsley, lemon zest. Nothing more needed. Although I chopped some red chili into mine as I think chili + crab is a good combo.
I like it. I admire it. But I don't love it. It's never an album I reach for when I have a "hey, haven't listened to that for a bit" moment.
Lucio Fulci, who we lost on this day 30 years ago...
Happy 50th Birthday to "Prima Pagina" on Radio Rai 3! (actually on Sunday, but they're celebrating it today).
Yes, we go for years without anything turning up and suddenly, there we are. They probably aren't all out there but I'm sure there's more to be found.
I was at Reading, and remember Lemmy coming on at the end.
It was recorded for the Friday Rock Show, and later for a live album - terrible cover, great set!
The sun is out and they've found another two episodes of the Dalek Master Plan. That's a pretty good start to Friday!
Thanks - don’t know this at all and so I shall check it out.
Bless you, Terry. The world is still just that little bit lighter for you having been in it.
Of course!
Lyfli, on’d yw’e!
