@rwilliams1947 Thanks Richard - I have banged on for ages about how good the Spoonful were but they always seemed to be overshadowed by the more “in” groups. The lyrics to Jug Band Music are priceless.

@SalvadorDafti I have this tucked away on the original vinyl album somewhere. Such a beautiful song - I played it over and over. Discovered him thanks to the vastly underrated Lovin Spoonful.

Fred Neil - Little Bit of Rain A break-up song mature enough to see the whole picture. No blame or drama, just an acceptance that it’s over, and not to let the sorrows ever overshadow the good bits. 1965.

@AlfaRomeoUK The Sprint Veloce was my first Alfa. It was a bit frustrating in some ways and struggled with rust but I still loved it and have had three Alfas since. But I think it was the Dinky Toys Alfa Romeo that lit the spark.

Hardly surprising @RoyalMail struggle. When DPD DHL or Evri give you a time slot (usually just one hour) they deliver in that slot, not “well it might turn up sometime today”. Sadly not the first time it has happened.

August was absolutely beautiful - with golden light and dancing shadows taking us through a busy month welcoming guests from across the globe. Here’s a scrummy highlight reel ahead of the autumn months!

@SalvadorDafti The album that persuaded me to sing and play harmonica in a (very average) band - or group as they were called then.

The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones My album of the day. A love letter to American blues, London style, performed with the arrogance of youth. As snotty as it is electrifying. They didn’t want to hold your hand, they wanted to steal your missus. 1964. 🎧 Route 66

@rwilliams1947 I remember seeing him a couple of times at the Ipswich Regent of all places. I took my son with me the second time and part way through he said simply “I never realised how many great songs this guy wrote”. I don’t think I could give any better tribute.

@CakeDiddly Probably thought she was being “professionally detached” or something. See you tomorrow I hope - not that that’s going to cheer you up very much 🤔

Today my annual neurology checkup was with yet another different specialist, at a different hospital an hour’s drive away. She was awful…unsympathetic, unhelpful, disinterested…an utterly pointless episode. Really glad I took a whole day off work to feel like crap. #thisisMS

Is there any better sign that spring is here than a Brimstone butterfly flying across the garden?

I have the same frustration and if you say something you’re likely to get a mouthful of abuse. A dog on a lead disturbs wildlife within 50 to 100 metres of a path, off the lead it’s 200 - assuming the dog is even on the path!

Very sad the number of dog walkers at our local #RSPB reserve who can’t read. How do they manage in day to day life? I mean - that ~must~ be the reason they missed the numerous signs asking to *keep dogs on leads* to protect the rare ground nesting birds…… 🙄

Congratulations @ElfynEvans on winning the Safari Rally. Hopefully some of the national dailies will give it the coverage it deserves but based on past experience I am not confident.

@AlfaRomeoUK Still miss my Mito although its Giulia replacement is pretty good compensation!

Gene Clark - No Other My album of the day. A sprawling blend of country, soul and cosmic Americana, tragically ignored during its time. A record that lives up to its title, and then some. The words are also marked on his grave. 1974. 🎧 From a Silver Phial.
