Maybe not trivial but Everton finally beating Liverpool in a Derby match at Goodison 💙😀

Saw one of those tiny blue butterflies in the back garden - first one this year. Lovely creature. Wish I'd had the phone on me to get a photo.

Leg End Reject

I saw a red squirrel on my drive into work this morning.

made an online order which I received email confirmation for at 11.57 for a new bedside furniture accessory from a popular UK based homeware retailer …. 13.42… the item has been dispatched for delivery on Monday…

I happened upon a horror film with graphic nudity on ch4 Reminds me of the old red triangle films on ch4

I saw an elderly couple walking along a busy path(alongside a busy road) with their gorgeous pit bull(blue coated), dog was oblivious to the noise and activity and she walked along with her fav rubber chicken toy in her mouth. I could see even with a quick glance that the chicken toy was sooooo precious to her.

Running low on tea and my Mum has better things to do at the moment than send more so I popped to Kilburn and walked around. Tried a Tesco, a Sainsbury's, and three corner shops. The third somehow had both Barry's Tea and Club Orange which was nice.

7-8 hours quality continuous sleep…. Feeling absolutely the better for it.

another good nights sleep and a good start to the day as this morning found my jacket I mentioned in the TA thread that I thought I must have left away in the hotel, it fell off the hanger and was lying on a bag at the very back of the wardrobe. 😎

The sprig is with its rightful owner, at last, and the scent in the room is divine. \o/

I'm off work until Monday week! 😎 I've nothing much planned (except going to a gig tonight, and a doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning 😄) but I'm happy enough with that.

And I still have 9 more holiday days to use before the end of June, before starting on this year's holidays.

I've just discovered you can buy a bucket of maltesers 😁

I love digging through my record shelves for a type of gig I haven't played in a while and either rediscovering a banger I forgot about or newly discovering one that I missed the first time around.

Case in point, I'm playing an uptempo funk/boogie/disco gig tonight. I was digging through my disco section and found this album by the amazing Crown Heights Affair. I used to play this track off it a lot when I lived in Singapore around 2008 ish.

Yes, the way one record sets you off onto playing another (with a tangential connection). I experienced this an hour ago with the just-released Now Yearbook 1974 inspiring me to also dig out my favourite 1999 album, a worthy way to sign off the decade. Check out that video for The Rubettes.

Found some fish fingers I don't like in the freezer, I cooked them and left them to cool by that window.

Half and hour later every single crumb of them is gone from the plate. I hope whatever stole them, enjoyed!

family birthday celebration tomorrow, I’ve been dreading it due to lack of energy but it’s been a nice busy enough but restful weekend that has seen me slightly more or less 100% restored, so fućk it….

Drifting back to sleep listening to the dawn chorus on the radio this morning. The experts are just so easy to listen to. Really enjoyed.

Took it into my head to clear out the junk from under the stairs space, not easy as it's household and all of it needs to be cleared by the big NO, and it can be hard to move even a small amount of the items there. Even tho it's been there since 2013 and has not been missed.

Got a surprising amount out of the space and th as it's a bank holiday, it's cheap to run the dishwasher and get the items bound for the homeless charities hygienically clean.

Even got the dog toys cleared and cleaned!

The F1 result today. Apologies to everyone that hasn’t seen it yet

When the Angelus bell rings and the dog next door starts deep long mournful howls as if he's feeling all the sins of humanity. 🤣🤣🤣

I feel that generally my mojo is coming back . About time 😷

Can’t be arsed typing it again. Then 10 minutes later I decide to put away 3 winter jackets / coats that won’t be worn till later in the year, felt something in a pocket, it’s my missing case…..😅

THs from today:

1. Getting the chance to sit in the park under some trees, well wrapped up against the chilly breeze, listening to music and to the birdsong, the dappled sunlight breaking through from time to time.
2. The blackbirds being brave enough to come close to pick up the crumbs I left for them.
3. A kind, thoughtful soul thinking about me and getting me a croissant (not the "industrial" ones, either - it was magnificent).
4. Another kind, caring soul, whom I hadn't seen in ages, popping by just to say hello and to give me a hug because she was nearby and had 2 mins flat to spare.

Spending time with my niece and nephew at the beach, the 4 year old little princess is a getting very cheeky, getting me to wash her bucket and spade for her and I was pretending to fall for it she was roaring mad with laughter and then she goes, "just hold them now for a second" and then she runs off giggling mad, I was pretending to be outraged then saying "oi come back here and take you bucket and spade" she starts roaring mad with laughter then 😂😂😂😄😄

Then back at their house I had a nerf gun fight with the biyeen, loads of fun 😄😄.
