Wearing multiple layers with hoods cos of cold.

Just caught myself in the mirror and I look like him from The Road.

May need a rethink.

Just caught a bit of Ronnie Wood on Desert Island Discs then. He's just fab.

Big Bill, Jimmy Reed, Howkin' Wolf. Well worth a listen.

Went for the 'sit up for coffee, sit back for shortbread' look.

Dripped coffee on the floor and now covered in crumbs.

I am quite the catch.

Precisely.

They don't seem to favour them in coffee shops though.

Couches in pubs and cafes always seem like a good idea til you find yourself uncomfortably perched on the edge of the seat to have your drink and food.

This could help explain why I get regular reminders that the oil needs changing on my Chevy Trailblazer in Texas.

I've only just realised it said artists and not guitarists. Think my brain saw the pic and misread it.

That makes it even fucking worse!

Flicking through the radio in the car looking for a decent tune and just got the Mock Turtles back to back on Smooth then R2.

Is this a signal? Are we being invaded?

Played this for the first time in ages yesterday. Fab.

Feel like I'm now being mocked by one of the main tracks though.

Already have! And looked at the gas fire every two minutes since, as if it would help.

One scary canary.

Just seen the Irish carbon monoxide advert with the singing canary and I'm a bit disturbed, truth be told.

Well isn't this fab.

Up there with Brendan Foster saying Douglas Wakiihuri years back.

Accent just works.

That's a new one on me. To be explored later.

I read your initial reply as you had no taste problems. Just realised what it said now!

As long as it does come back I'll cope. Just bloody frustrating. And I might be about to venture onto meds where I'm not really meant to drink. It's not the be all but when you could do with a pint...

Ta again

It was Ceftriaxone I had for 6 weeks. Been finished a week now but still bothering me.

Thanks for the reply though and apologies for using you as a medical sounding board!

Is if you only woke up at 3.

@mjowen174.bsky.social Hello sir. Me again with the antibiotics questions. I know you said you had a load through i/v. Did it bugger up your taste at all? Certain things (particularly booze annoyingly) just taste bloody horrible and I'm hoping it's only temporary!

Cheers.

Not half! A trip to the Lion should have been included but you can't grumble with that lot.

As soon as my body starts to play ball I'll be on a similar route.

E-books need to have the %read set to the end of the story, not any additional gubbins at the end.

Just sat down to read the last 5% of a book that I've really enjoyed and there was one bleedin' page left!

Feel robbed.
