“…she sees how happiness hides in the humdrum, how it abides in the everyday toing and froing as though happiness were a thing that should not be seen, as though it were a note that cannot be heard until it sounds from the past...” This line from Paul Lynch's Prophet Song...

We're into February and how rapidly the days are now getting longer. Lots more birdsong back now too. Credit to @neilrkaye for this thing of joy:

@BaldyMemike Haha Mike, well never noticed those! There are certainly no flower beds on the pitch. Kind of you not to mention our recent trip to North East Lincs. Lovely to hear from you Mike - and likewise, hope you are keeping well.

@RobLawrence Cheltenham have always struck me as a terribly genteel club. The only ground I’ve ever visited that had hanging baskets. I hope you’re well Rob.

Steve Cotterill running things at Whaddon Road - and a Friday night BBC appointment to view with Alan Partridge. Somehow I am 25 years older than when this last happened. Feels like no time...

What a moment - seemingly Yabbo's final show. Creative, warm and funny. Have been listening one way or another for 30 years. Best of luck Steve. It may be rubbish. But at least it's local rubbish.

@SteveYabsley I am looking forward to hearing plenty of rubbish that is at least local rubbish, Steve.

Last Sunday show from 2-6 today on BBC Radio Bristol - worth a listen if you like weak humour
