A shameless Sunday evening shout-out for my novel, just in case anyone fancies a lighthearted pre-Brexit pre-Christmas read! amzn.to/3ZuAXZ0 #booksky

Thanksgiving as a concept is a good one, although my thanks will always necessarily be secular, and given to good company, good will, and the multifarious ways we each bring forward our respective humanity. We are a wondrous, stupid species and we should be thankful that we can perceive at all.

Thank you @brendanjamesauthor.bsky.social

Delighted to give my brand new novel its first public appearance in such great company!

If anyone is looking for their weekend read, I would be honoured for you to give it consideration… ❤️✍️ 📚https://amzn.eu/d/4iP5Zwn

Had a lovely evening with @lainyjthomas.bsky.social at the Hart Hill Christmas fare in #Rugeley - and managed to sell a book too😊 Check out Lainy’s new book, Results Day, if you like an emotional page-turner! #booksky

THE HUMAN LEAGUE - 'Hysteria' album (1984)
The 4th studio album released in May '84. Included 3 singles, 'The Lebanon', 'Life on Your Own' & 'Louise'. Less successful than 'Dare', the album would reach No.62 in the US & No.3 in the UK.

Sat next to a bloke on the train

He has his laptop on the table next to me

He’s typing into a box labelled ‘Problem Alignment - Goals & Non-Goals’

Thank Christ I’m retired & not subjected to all this type of HR bullshit anymore.

It really is time all this meaningless garbage was called out

Those really were the days! 😊

RIP the glorious Patricia Routledge. To me she will always be Kitty; delivering Victoria Wood's monologues with pin-sharp precision ❤ VW always knew who would do the best job with her words, and was never afraid to give her best lines away, for the good of the comedy.

An extraordinary early picture of the Human League in a studio. Phil Oakey is wearing a backless lavender striped cropped t-shirt and skin tight white trousers. What a mensch.

A toast today, folks, for Phil Oakey, aka Phil Oakley, aka Big Phil, aka This Is Phil Talkin', who has turned 70. Didn't he do well?!

A bit of North Wales sky and Irish Sea … good for the soul.

🤣🤣! I was lucky then! Cheers John, have to say this trip has really reignited my love for the country.

Lovely going back to Ostend for the first time in years. Lots of life and lovely weather. Sadly, the old international express trains are no more though… #oostende #europetravel #belgium

🤣🤣🤣!!

In Bruges…. No Colin Farrell yet but I’m making the best of it 😄 #brugge #europetravel #interrail

Have finally visited #Leuven for the first time…. It did not disappoint. #traintravel

I know the Channel Tunnel has been with us for over 30 years now but I’m still amazed you can leave Birmingham in the morning and be in Brussels late afternoon! #interrail #europetravel

Thank you so much, mate! It's been a crazy year so far!
😄

Absolutely chilling…. “Tomorrow belongs to me….?” Words fail me again….
