I had a magical weekend seeing #lilys #thelilys three days in a row. I still feel like I am floating on air.

Cornish cream tea (in Falmouth, cream on top) with Depeche Mode playing in the background. Devon cream tea (in Plymouth, jam on top) with The Black Keys playing in the background. Both appreciated, but not sure which felt more incongruous.

27/1/23, London. You wait years for a Lawrence Q&A but these days it feels like they are delightfully frequent. #lawrence #felt #MozartEstate

Saw in the New Year at Naritasan Shinsoji (Narita). Wishing everyone a happy new year - I hope we all get through 2023 ok.

26/12/22, Ōfuna. View of the #ofunakannon statue at #ofunakannonji #ofuna You can’t see the people in front of the statue but the row of lampposts gives an idea of the scale. #guanyin

The song stuck in my head the last few days was this cover from #eurotrash #eurovision special years back. I guess Terry Hall had so many great songs of his own, my mind couldn’t settle on one of those. https://youtu.be/PqcDcepREfA

2/11/22, London. #stereolab at EartH. The time I knew less than half of the songs in the set is one of the shows that I’ve enjoyed the most.

20/11/22, #thesocial, London. #whitelands and #moondiagrams at the #soniccathedral 18th birthday celebration. So now there are #shoegaze bands young enough to be my grandchildren. I’m oddly pleased by this.

12/11/22, Oslo S in the early hours, on my way back to London. The statue is by Elena Engelsen. I didn’t know that Oslo is “The Tiger City”.

11/11/22, Oslo. #thelionheartbrothers reunion show at #parkteatret Just as joyful and uplifting as back in the day.
