I feel autumn has finally arrived...I haven't worn shorts for the last two days and feel comfortable at the prospect of spending the next four months in brown corduroy....

Autumn is here and for yet another year I've failed to attend a traction engine rally...*sighs*

My son bought me a Monty Don style coat in June for my birthday....I wore it today for the first time. Sadly I don't look like Monty because it's two sizes too large... .I look like I'm auditioning for a Showaddywaddy tribute band...

Nine mile walk completed in 2 hours 14 minutes. 1000 calories used. Time to eat lots of pie. Yippee.

It seems to be working for you....is it though?

You look gloriously earnest...it may be a Good Thing?

I've had that... bizarre...but in hindsight wonderful. I'd watched a musical performance in the Chapter House in York Minster..drunk too much wine...and later.. it's like vomiting cottage cheese...

You too sir... you're always fabulously entertaining...well...fairly entertaining...but I'm pissed...

Sit down old fella'...

The Jedward of their day..

Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

My dad's working men's club membership card...like a little passport...to bingo...cheap pints of Mansfield bitter and the chance to listen to any number of Boy/ girl duos...

Toyah's music hasn't aged well. Important back then though...

My dad looks okay...but my mum looks like an East German shot putter...the legs are mine...the carpet my mothers...

Juice Tiger...I bought this because it's very So I Married An Axe Murderer...

Sad about Tony Harrison dying. V was a very important poem... I'll have to dig out my signed copy of his Selected Poems from way back before mobile phones...

Brilliant band...love The Monto...bit naughty I know...

Morton Feldman is brilliant....

Watching 80's music videos. Wasn't Tina Turner great...cracking set of pins too....

Sunday is the perfect day for reading isn't it? I shall be reading shortly, although I do have a curry to crack on with....

Six mile walk completed in an hour and a half. Grey skies...no rain...no wind...just very very grey...

We won the ruggers didn't we? Smashing.

Scary...but scary...😄

They look old...but nostalgic....

Are you feeling old suddenly,?

A fellow...but from where,,?

It's not bad..,

You may shit energetically..I hope not...

I imagine you will drink heavily...well deserved...

I can't believe how important Hughie Green was to my childhood... seriously...
