Watching a documentary about music in 1971 and the comments that John Lennon made about Nixon could very well be made today about Trump. Have we learned nothing in the last 50 years?

Had some new ones from small producers at a tasting last week. More interesting and enjoyable than many mainstream wines.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Roast lamb, roast potatoes, peas and carrots. Old school. With a nice Bordeaux red.

Well that was a bit of an anticlimax, but not completely unexpected. #T20WorldCup 🏏

Thanks very much. Just need some more clear skies now. 😁

I bought myself a very simple Dobsonian telescope a few years ago and now have nice dark skies to use it on. Any tips for learning where things are in the night sky (apart from observing and making notes)?

It doesn’t feel quite right to β€œlike” these posts, but it is the only way to say that we are reading your diary and wishing you the best.

Or a wine inspired by Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. 😁

Just imagine the feeling.

Watching Peter Gabriel live in Athens in 1987 and can’t help feeling that I wish I could experience the feelings that a really successful musician feels playing in front of that many adoring fans.

Tea with new (us) next door neighbours, walk into town to have a Negroni, back to supper of roast chicken breast, roast crushed potatoes and creamy mustard leeks, bottle of red burgundy.

This is what retirement is all about. 😁

Ooh, shiny!

Saw The Comet is Coming at The Engine Rooms in Southampton and just could not believe how he could play like he did without seeming to take a breath.

Price has doubled since we (very, very luckily) filled our tank a couple of weeks ago! 😳 Terrible for so many people.

I wish people would stop posting stuff from X on here. I left that cesspit to get away from just the kind of stuff that is being cross posted here. 😑

Rules? Some of my favourite photographs have been those taken into the sun.

First clear night for ages. Went out with binoculars for a bit of star gazing. Moon was very bright but still managed good views of Jupiter, Orion and even the Pliedes. Not managed to see those without a telescope before. Need to get telescope put back together ready for a dark night.
