Bacchae at The National Theatre. Boom. Go see. Ignore the critics who can’t see how smart it is. End of. Who are Ya?

Everyone should form a band with their mates to embrace their 50’s.
Here’s one we made a couple of years ago for that very occasion. Just watched Sally Wainwright’s #Riotwomen and loved it. Hope it inspires loads of women to grab some guitars 🎸

Needed to get away. Might do a Reggie Perrin.

Badenoch asking for huge change and making her Head Girl Debating Society closing speech as though she’s discovered fire or invented the wheel. Same old vile policies. Same old dangers.

Concerned about what might happen elsewhere whilst our focus is distracted by this shit show.

I’m in Monopoli, Italy. Here for work at an outdoor festival. Nice to be beside the sea.

Flying to Monopoli, Italy today for a Uke gig. Dressed as a Thimble. *rolls dice*

Yes it was. Thank you (indirectly) for reuniting me with my lost suitcase! And thank you for writing the book, which I’m enjoying very much 👍

I thought I’d visit. I forget to post… I mean, social media sucks, but perhaps I should persevere on here…. I’m no good on insta either!

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Rictus smiles all round. The weirdest show in town. Starwars entrances, Butlins tans, a herd of elephants in the room. This is politics today.

Sopel & Maitlis - thanks for articulating so precisely, why Gregg Wallace has ignited this much fury. A timely reminder that the bland tyranny of small time misogyny is alive and well and petulantly demanding we laugh at its jokes. F**k that.

I’m a huge fan of Philip Pullman’s writing & ideas.
Re-reading The Northern Lights trilogy for the 3rd time. Waiting patiently for the final volume of The Book of Dust. Let’s talk about Dust! (That’s not the title 😉) but who wants to talk about it? #Dust

Cost you a fortune on the Kings Road…

Blurred windswept moi, outside Raymond’s Pie, Mash & Eels shop, Eltham. Double, single? Or Double Double?

Last week’s joy.
Baden Baden. Thermal pools, £15 for 2 hours. The plastic reindeer were overpriced though. Priorities, people!

Last week’s friends, Germany.
I was enthralled.

James Webb Space Telescope’s infrared view of the Pillars of Creation

On July 30 in 1995 Hourglass Nebula The Hourglass Nebula has been formed by a dying Sun-like star shedding its outer layers of gas. One theory suggests that the hourglass shape is produced as a fast stellar wind encounters a slowly expanding cloud that is more dense near the star’s equator than near its poles

She’s a tiger now. Thanks for your postcard!

This is Christine. She lives on a bench in Baden-Baden. Baden Baden has terrific thermal spas. I spent a lot of time in those waters last week. Christine didn’t. She guards a fashion outlet instead.

First post - keeping it nice.
My cat.
