Happy 70th Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend that is Steve Harris. Everyone knows what this band and its music means to me, and especially the influence the bass had on me. Iโ€™ve been so very lucky to have experienced some amazing times over the years. Memories thatโ€™ll never fade โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ๐Ÿปโœจ

She makes me smile every day, but when she does stuff like this, my heart is fit to burst. Whoโ€™d have thunk Stevie the cat was so politically minded ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿฅฐ

A lovely walk in the sunshine and a happy 2nd hand buy for the princely sum of ยฃ3.00. Weโ€™re not going to take it, well I am, and I did. Cheers โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค“

Ha ha ha ha ha! This really made me giggle. I nicked it from another feed but added my own twist on the original meme. So true ๐Ÿ˜‚

Morning all. Itโ€™s Sunday, so itโ€™s a day where anything goes and nothing counts, so Iโ€™m going to try this later. Itโ€™s definitely worth a punt ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚

Happy Megadeth day! Waiting for the new and last ever album of theirs to arrive, but in the meantime, Iโ€™m going back to where it all started for me, Peace Sellsโ€ฆ But Whoโ€™s Buying? Killer from start to finish. This album still excites me like the first time I heard it ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽง

Iโ€™ve been trying to capture this image for a while. Tonight I think Iโ€™ve caught it. This is my front door from the inside, and when a car drives down my street, or parks across from me, with the lights on, this beautiful silhouette is created. I wish it woul

Iโ€™m so sorry itโ€™s come to this, and I generally hate โ€œbeggingโ€ posts but after Christmas, and now that itโ€™s the longest month ever, I need to raise extra funds. Please give generously, and be kind ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚ xx

This album has been on repeat for the past 2 days. Just beautiful, peaceful and calming. A โ€œno fillerโ€ album. A great way to start and end a day. If you havenโ€™t heard it yet, do yourself a favour and buy it. I promise that you wonโ€™t regret it. Right, Iโ€™m on my nose tired. See you tomorrow โ˜บ๏ธโœจ

I know itโ€™s sad, but I love this watch SO much. Itโ€™s a faithful reproduction of the original and it makes me smile, plus takes me back to a very happy time. I rarely wear a watch, but now I do. It beeps and has a light. Result! Cool ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ #SimpleThings #Casio #GShock #Childhood #HappyMemories #Digital

Nowโ€™t better to warm the cockles of my heart than a couple of sets of new LaBella strings for my main Ibanez and Fender Precision. You canโ€™t beat the excitement, feel, and sound, that fresh strings bring. The simple things, eh? ๐Ÿฅฐ #LaBella #Strings #StainlessSteel #Bass #Ibanez #Fender #NewStringsDay

โ€œI hereby christen thee The Clubhouse. May all who record in her, ROCK!โ€ ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

Itโ€™s official, the sign says so. Thanks ever so much to the wonderful Debbie & Lewis for this awesome present. The studio feels a little more complete because of it. We will indeed โ€œRockโ€ as well as โ€œProgโ€ too.

Well, Iโ€™ve failed and succeeded today. I failed to replace the pick guard on my bass as the new one is a tight fit, and needed shaving to make it right. I butchered that job and had to put on the original mirrored plate again. I succeeded in winding myself up a treat. Is that a win? ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

To all who celebrate this time of year, a very Merry Christmas. To all who donโ€™t, Merry Lots of Beer Day. To those who donโ€™t celebrate either, enjoy just another Thursday. Love to you all. May your day be filled with kindness and good memories. Cheers ๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿปโœจ xx

I just had the most beautiful Policewoman turn up at my house and I may have confessed to things I havenโ€™t done, yet somehow, she still didnโ€™t arrest me FFS! When will the universe cut me a break? It is Christmas after all ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿšจ

Weโ€™ve set realistic deadlines, weโ€™ve let the process find its own pace & weโ€™ve allowed ourselves to enjoy the creativity/frienddhip. Softly but with purpose. Focussed, honest, but more importantly, a lot more fun than the last 2 albums Iโ€™ve had a hand in creating. Never going there again! #darkisles

A MAHOOSIVE congratulations to the new World Champion, Lando Norris. I may have shed a tear of joy. Wow! So happy for him. A huge shout out to Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen for helping make this championship so thrilling. Can I have a beer now? ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿพ xx

Iโ€™ve sought advice from an appropriate adult and now the child in this equation, takes over. Iโ€™ll either come out of this having earned my stripes, or retreat into a darkened room rocking back and forth in defeat.

Happy 80th Birthday to one of my bass heroes, Roger Glover. A huge influence, an amazing musician, and such a lovely guy. After this photo was taken, we had a pint and a chat in the pub across the road. A memory that will live with me forever. I was a real โ€œChild in Timeโ€ in that moment โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผโœจ

I opened the car from a distance and captured what looks like an arty indie film still. Itโ€™s pitch black except for the outdoor glowing washing machines in the background which look like they were auditioning for the new RUSH tour ๐Ÿ˜‚

The rain has finally stepped aside, allowing the sun to smile again. Trees sway with that quiet, knowing grace, and the first breath of coffee rises like a soft summons. Hello Sunday, letโ€™s hush the noise of the world for a while, and simply be. Morning all. Have a peaceful one โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒณโ˜•๏ธ
