Hoping that going to see Franz Ferdinand today of all days is not some terrible portent. Excellent gig though!

I need to be careful what I write in future. My last novel included heavy betting on war and AI deciding who lives and who dies. Add to that the 2018 novel with the pandemic and destroying Notre Dame, and lots of cybercrime. I have been accused of witchcraft.

Also does not specify volume of beers.

We actually tried for tickets before I planned this trip but they went like hot cakes / Pies / Fish suppers.

My mum was Scottish and I’d rather be in Murrayfield than Twickenham!

Always an opportunity to expand the vocabulary.

O/T I am Vienne-bound next week, wondering if there are like minded rugby fans watching the game on Saturday?

Shocked to hear the news. That GIF is perfect. Met him (and Paul Jackson and Ed Bye) virtually when he directed a fan read of an original mini episode for Holly Hop during Covid - youngest played Young Rimmer.

Now this startles me because I loved the Herb Garden and in particular Parsley the Lion but we had a black and white TV...

I’ll be over next week for ten days - can’t wait to see what state the garden is in. I imagine the pool is quite full.

Those exquisite proportions have soothed my eyes. Amused by the listing of a β€œwall Muriel” mind.

That's a Fred song for us - although as there is no cat-controlled access to the outside world, hearing his "Muuuum, I caught a thiiiing" yowl at night is unsettling.

And it was a large mouse. Indoors. But in a farmhouse by fields with holes in the walls that's a risk.

Layla yells like this pre-vom. She heard the video and came to see who it was...

I’ll look into that.

Same. I haven't manage to delete all my content, although it is archived, but the account is locked down.

In the immortal words of Douglas Adams:
Arthur Dent: I think I’m going to throw up.
Ford Prefect: go ahead, we could use some colour about the place.

Mwahaha.

Picking my cousin up from there in a couple of weeks. Coffee in the boulangerie at the roundabout until I see the tail fin over the terminal 🀣🀣

Nope. Withdrew months ago from a trip I’d be doing in a couple of weeks time. No regrets. I have two friends going over next week for different work reasons and I’m concerned. Sure they’ll be fine but I wouldn’t risk it.

We have one. It’s cute but I make much better rice in a pan.

Happy Houseversary!

You made me think about the date and realised it’s four years today for us.
