2nd weekend in a row for 90s Britpop nostalgia, alternating events with the progeny

12th July 2009 I had to give up my ticket to see Oasis because I was about to have the boy. They then announce their split. 16 years and a tiny bit later, and now his favourite band, I get to take him with me 🙌

Our rescue dog, Nerys, is on anti-anxiety meds, and often refuses to move - but I totally relate and just think she is menopausal and over this shit

🇧🇪 Belgian Odyssey 2025 🇧🇪

Best travelling partner - an end of GCSEs treat - and a very special few days in some very beautiful locations

In Bruges, watching In Bruges

A joy to be back at @theclpe.bsky.social on such a gorgeous sunny day for a Lego Serious Play-fuelled workshop on participatory research followed by a mini writing retreat.

A very hot day for a White Wedding: Yungblud @Bludfest keeping the Gen X parents of their emo Gen Z kids happy with a surprise appearance. Personally I would have gone for Rebel Yell given the audience, but let’s face it, White Wedding is always going to win the popular vote.

Looking forward to this too! I hope it’s good. We spend a lot of time on the west Somerset/north Devon bit - in fact the other half walked 12 miles of it today - from Porlock to Lynmouth - which I couldn’t because I have something called a new job to go to…

From absolute legends Norman Jay and Jah Wobble to Barrioke playing in our local park, bank holiday Monday had a slightly surreal flex today

I don’t remember the parenting books mentioning anything about taking your 13 year old to her first social media ‘activation’ (basically an anarchic type of meet+greet/crowd-sourced music promo event) but it was lots of fun & Yungblud does have a lovely fanbase. And yes, I do feel officially old.

Amazing! Well done! 👏

We used to have one dog who looked at me like this so I’d play with him. We thought he might like a friend so they could play together. Now we just have two dogs who look at me like this 😵‍💫😁

Good morning starshine, the earth says hello! Grand day out at the Tim Burton exhibition at the @designmuseum.bsky.social

Not looking too shabby, London

😮

Waited a long time for this. Last time was in 94 at Leicester De Montfort supported by The Dust Brothers (later The Chemical Brothers)

Hyem from hyem

History made! Glad the boy and his grandpa got to see it together 🥰

Great timing to be back home…Come on The Toon!

9th anniversary of staying in an Air BnB. in Bath apparently owned by James Martin (or his stalker)

Spotted in east London today

I don’t have any else to offer than dog content at the moment

Nerys got a glow-up

Introducing Nerys, our newest member of the family. Her Welsh name is in honour of the rescue centre in Llanelli who took her in as a retired breeding dog from a puppy farm in Ireland 💔. She joined us on Saturday 25th January, aged about 5, & is settling into her new life of being totally spoiled 🥰

Gorgeous clear day in the motherland
