And so it begins: the time of the season. Here’s what I’m listening to as autumn begins: open.spotify.com/playlist/4A1KF…

Finally, they told us a bus was ready, but then they had to scour the airport, looking for passengers who were spread all over the terminal. Anyway, we eventually got on a bus headed to Jerez. (Airport, even though just about everyone surely wants to go into the city.) @Iberia

Chaos at Seville airport. No announcements, no signs, no staff on hand, no information point, no Iberia desk. And no bus waiting outside. We ran up to departures and asked at an Iberia check-in. We were told to wait. So we waited.

Well, that was odd. We boarded a flight to Jerez but we landed in Seville. At no point did they announce they were going to do that. @Iberia

@icod I noticed. (Today.) Come back! You’re missed. (Eventually.)

I kind of stopped posting on blue sky and no one noticed and that sums it up

Trainwreck: masterchef

Tormenta en Madrid desde Moratalaz. Rayo a tierra pillado de auténtica casualidad, en una única foto😁

@AlisonMoyet Belated happy birthday from Vera, Chuck and me.

Thank you all for your tremendously kind birthday wishes today. I had a lovely surprise. I thought I was going to be 65, but in fact I’m 64. Which is like I got a refund. Who doesn’t like free?

When, oh when, is @debbiidawson going to release an album? By my count, she already has enough killer tracks for the most consistent album since Rumours. open.spotify.com/playlist/4DtN0…

@nakhaneofficial Come over to Bluesky. Please!🙏

And here it is, the cover for my upcoming single, "Killer '25"! 🎉 It’s my take on the Adamski/Seal classic. Pre-save/add! Full track soon. Let's celebrate! Let’s throw some ass!🍑

#Top24of24 Day 24 and the song that gave me more joy than any other this year: Happy World by Debbii Dawson. I played this repeatedly, whooping with glee each time it turned from a sad country ballad into a note-perfect homage to… Well, you’ll see: open.spotify.com/track/0kY86R5m…

@shockproofbeats Things could certainly be worse: in January 2021, Madrid was hit by a once in a lifetime snowstorm that broke our roof, so we had freezing water dripping into the kitchen, broken pipes so no heating, shorted lights, and impassible roads so nobody could come fix it for a week.

When I think of bad festive seasons, I think of the long stretch over Christmas 1998, when our family of 12 shivered in the frigid darkness of a week-long power cut. On how things could always be worse. irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-colu…

I’m probably not going to post on here anymore. I am now at the other place: bsky.app/profile/davidm… (Note the “m” in the middle, because I messed up)

But… but… but… Andy Zaltzman said “one”. (I think.) #taskmaster @ZaltzCricket

My jam is the way Monica says “butter” on masterchef.

Remember when we all tried using Mastodon?

I dreamed that @AlisonMoyet wrote a song for one of One Direction. It was a massive hit but she didn’t mention it on her recent podcast series as she was slightly ashamed of it. I recall one line: “I could have taken you out more often. I could have taken you seriously.”

Fantastic day in Toledo today.

@edcumming ?

Is this a deliberate error to make lame pedants share it

Ag, they just wanted to pomp, hey? (this is a joke that only works in a South African accent.)
