Cooking a veggie chilli, listening to #MarkMulcahy. Got the CD at one of the two gigs I saw him play in the UK just before the pandemic. #miraclelegion

Fourth badger visit tonight. This one is very nervous. Every visit I have picked up my phone and it's ran off. Except this visit. Assuming it's the same one. #badger
In that place in Lancashire. Second badger visit of the night. First one ran off before I could get a photo. #badger

Saw Tom Waits, four days later after this recording, in London, on this tour. Only time I have ever seen him live. When the tickets went on sale, I was ready on my desktop. Couldn't believe it when I successfully got two tickets. Most I ever spent on gig tickets in my life. I think they were £75 each. He hadn't played the UK on seventeen years. After a couple of songs, he addressed this. He said something like: "It's been seventeen years. You're looking well".
Lovely night out with @emamooma in Waterfoot, Rossendale, Lancashire, UK. Been to see Steve Diggle #Buzzcocks being interviewed by Paul and Steve Hanley #thefall for their "Oh! Brother" podcast #punk #postpunk
Treasured #Vinyl I love Culture. First heard them on the #johnpeel show, in the mid 1980s, when he played the Strange Fruit vinyl issue of their Peel Session. Saw them about a decade ago, in Leamington Spa, playing a Notting Hill Carnival warm up gig. Always lift my spirits, get me dancing, or tapping my foot, and get me smiling again. What more do you want from music? And, the cat, Nutmog, agrees. #reggae
Treasured #vinyl : Found this in a charity shop in Blackpool, UK, recently. Anne Lenner (Violet Green), was my 1st cousin, 2x removed i.e. my grandfather's cousin. She was a singer with Carroll Gibbons & The Savoy Orpheans. She had two singing sisters, one of which was Shirley Lenner (Ivy Green). Ivy's son was rock musician/actor Paul Korda, friend of Cat Stevens, Sandy Denny, knew Hendrix, was in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Amazing what you discover from family history research.
