The cover for Notice by Heather Lewis.

YouTuber @criminolly.bsky.social called Notice by Heather Lewis the most disturbing book he’d ever read. I wouldn’t go that far, it’s definitely definitely difficult to read.

Have you read Notice? What’s the most disturbing book you’ve read?

Ale-Hop earbuds case, black with “in my comfort zone” written on it.

I forgot to pack my AirPods when I went away recently. I only had over ear headphones. I bought these from Ale-Hop in Spain for €20. They’ve been great! They sound good and the noise cancelling works. And at that price I don’t care if they get lost or damaged.

Irreversible is a fantastic film. I know I shouldn’t watch it again but I’m drawn to it so I do.

There's something about Trellick Tower in London that I like.

Jade’s album That's Showbiz Baby is out tomorrow. I’ve enjoyed her singles and appearances on Jools Holland so I’m quite excited for it.

A view of Lisbon, Portugal from the cruise terminal.

I’ve spent the day in Lisbon. Maybe that’s why I really want to play Azul and Lisboa right now.

Tell me about it! I’ve spent the last week on a ship, all inclusive, and I’m really pounding the Rennies! Only a week to go! 🤣

A psychiatrist’s office doors in Ajaccio, Corsica. The doors are brown and the right one is open. There’s a “9” above the door.

I found this door in Ajaccio, Corsica very interesting. Why?

I had a pint of Chouffe Blonde and a pint of Duvel 666. Slightly feeling it now!

The outside of one of the best bars in Málaga.

Some of the fridges (6) in the bar in Málaga full of beer.

I think I’ve found one of the best bars in Málaga. It has a large range of draught beers and even more in cans and bottles.

I’m now sitting on a cruise ship in Southampton drinking beer in the pouring rain. What happened to my life?

No. And it varies so wildly around the country.

My Evri delivery woman is great too. We both think Evri are shit though.

Here DPD is the best (I’ve fucking jinxed it now I bet) and Royal Mail are mostly shit.

Rant alert: I think they're both absolute shit. I had another bad Evri experience this week. I'm now so fucked off with both companies that I'm not buying from any company that uses them exclusively and I'm telling them why!

My Arran 10 has departed. You will be replaced!

I’m sitting out in the sun enjoying a beer listening to Phil Collins sing Sussudio on the radio. Then I realise it’s been 40 since I first heard that song! Thanks Phil, thanks for making me feel old. 😭

Album art for the Wolf Alice album The Clearing.

Well that's a bloody good album. Their best I'd say.

Bristol's quite good if you avoid peak holiday season. It's quite small so easy to navigate and the food and drink options are pretty good.

Are there any groups in #Bristol for disabled people on public transport?

Something needs to be done about the shit state of public transport in Bristol as a whole and for disabled people in particular.

I’m “enjoying listening to Martin Kemp playing 80s songs on the radio” years old.

Tonight I’m at an 80s disco. I’m wearing 80s clothes, drinking Old Speckled Hen like I would’ve in the 80s and am sitting on my own while everyone dances like the 80s. Pretty accurate so far.

Four bottles of Laphroaig whisky: Quarter Cask, Lore, 10 year Sherry Oak Finish and 10 year Cask Strength.

My Quarter Cask is nearly empty and Lore is getting very low so I bought 10 year Sherry Cask Finish and 10 year Cask Strength to replace them.

The stage for Moulin Rouge!

Here’s the stage and elephant.

Tonight I will be seeing Moulin Rouge! The Musical!

I’ve spent a very pleasant morning sitting in the garden while it’s in shade. The sun’s coming round now and in half an hour it’ll be hotter than an oven out there and uninhabitable.

If there’s one song designed for hot weather it’s Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

I can still remember every song. This new version sounds really good.

I loved Wolfsbane’s 1989 debut album, Live Fast, Die Fast, but somewhere down the line my copy went missing and it’s never been on streaming.

It turns out Wolfsbane have re-recorded and re-imagined it as Live Faster.

It seems to be when an MP gets a cabinet post that they start becoming a selfish arsehole as they start climbing the greasy pole.

Getting the electorate working together seems like a bigger problem than the MPs selfishness to be honest.

There are still a few good MPs around I think. Most of them are worried about losing their seat. There are ~73,000 voters in a constituency on average. I fully understand you'd need a hell of a lot of people writing in for them to take notice but I think it's doable.
