Hope you’re starting to feel better. Have a great day.

It's not often I am happy to watch something on loop.

One of my acting heroes. IMO one of the greatest cowboys ever. This weekend I shall binge Lonesome Dove, Broken Trail, Open Range and Geronimo! Maybe more. RIP 😢

One of my absolute acting heroes. I know some won’t agree, but he was the best cowboy ever. IMO.

She certainly won’t be lost for words.

When are the people of the world going to stand up and say ‘enough is enough’ to the thugs and pigs that govern them? The world has never been so shit.

Love him x

I completely understand - it happened for me post Brexit in the UK. So many people I respected and loved shrunk into people I didn’t understand or would ever mix with.

I actually went to the doctors suspecting rheumatism in my hands. He thinks it's just RSI from typing. I celebrated my avoidance of old age by going home for a large mug of hot chocolate and an early night.

In general I don't do people or crowds or noise.

We had this fella on our veranda up in the mountains of Spain.

This has to be the way forward. Using tariff threats as a bully boy tactic against ‘friends’ is a sure way lose them.

At this point if I was abducted by aliens 👽🛸I would consider it a rescue mission.

The way it's going I wouldn't be surprised to see Kemi Badenoch jump ship.

The left side of the house will soon resemble the Mary Celeste.

The world has fallen out of love with America, and unless something is done in managing domestic US politics, it's going to get worse.
China are laughing; as new trade deals open up with countries that look to shield themselves from Trumps tariff based bully boy tactics.
It's a chaotic mess.

Nice. Have you seen the Netflix show 'La Révolution'? Not the same as what you're doing, but could contain some worthwhile inspiration.

That acoustic album is superb. I'd forgotten it's existence and just dug it out, dusted it off and put it on the record player. Thank you. It's a make me smile album for me.

Turns out the film's becoming fact.

Some of our non front line troops returning home. Your leader sickens me.

Evel Knievel betrayed his friend and threw himself under the bus!

Why, when there is so much shit going on in the world, is the Beckham family rift headline news everywhere? It is red top gossip, and that’s where it belongs.
