it has turned so cold outside again just in time for the holiday weekend but no matter - I’m just chilling with my new purple orchid. Happy Easter to you all.

My first work of fiction was written in biro in a school exercise book. Before my schooldays were over I had acquired an old manual typewriter, with which I pecked out my first short story. Not long after that I proudly owned my first rejection slip from a magazine editor. It soon became apparent my dream of being a writer was just that and if you wanted a roof over your head and food on your table then you had to get what my Dad referred to as ‘a proper job’. The kind of job that steals your soul, saps your energy, crushes your aspirations, but, yes, puts food on your table. In life, you do what you have to in order to get by, but you should never let anyone destroy your dreams. Lock them away in your mind, protect them, but, when nobody is looking, take them out and let them play for a while, just long enough to keep them happy. For one day you will get the chance to set them free. This picture shows my current writing setup. No wonder I now have oblong eyes like a goat! If I could go back in time and show this picture to myself as that little boy scratching away in an exercise book I do believe his poor head would have exploded! But I would have whispered “never give up” in his ear and left him pouring his vivid imagination out with pencil on paper.

My thoughts on the sublime new Katie Melua album, Album No. 8 are on my blog. (link in bio)
Don’t be fooled by the simple title, this is a very special album.

The gorgeous Casio FX-730P. Outshone by all-singin

The gorgeous Casio FX-730P. Outshone by all-singing Smartphones with their fancy (and subscription-greedy) apps but you can quickly write your own formulas and BASIC programs and the battery life is practically forever—I’m talking months and months on a couple of button cells. Rechargeable Schmargeable, pah! #casiovintage #oldiesbutgoodies #stillworking #nowifinoproblem

Lovely way to spend a damp Sunday morning, just making jewellery. I don’t wear it, I just make it. #therapeutichobbies #jewellery

I just put up an outside light! Except it’s inside, on the side of a bookcase overlooking my desk. Because I just fancied working in a little Victorian ambiance now the nights are starting to draw in.

Okay, this is just a tree. But from a distance it looked like an Ent marching purposefully across the fields to intercept me. Or a bloke in a tree costume. But my eyes and my overactive imagination were playing tricks and the photo revealed it to be just a tree. A lovely tree, but just a tree. Not an Ent. Oh well.

This little beauty is my Casio J-10. It is from 1984, the year another beauty, #katiemelua , was born. Like her, it still performs flawlessly. Unlike her, it is nowadays described as ‘vintage’. If you call Katie vintage I shall come and biff you on the nose with a moist cucumber. One criticism it had was that it doesn’t have a memory clear button. Well, Katie doesn’t have one either and she’s done okay. As I type this I’m looking ruefully at my MacBook and thinking I don’t hold out much hope of it still working in over three decades from now. Mind you, I could say that about myself too.

This calf has nice back legs but the front ones are too stubby—the line of the spine should run parallel to the ground.

Okay Master Frodo, we’ll rest for the night in that old shed with a tree growing out of it but first thing tomorrow we must head across the marshes and get to that Tower so you can be rid of that infernal ring. I think the pawn shop opens at 8.

😃 I’ve not been able to get flour from my local supermarket for 2 months but thanks to Heygates and Amazon I now have 16kilos of the precious white powder (sadly it isn’t green despite saying so on the packet). If it wasn’t for the lockdown I’d invite you all round for khachapuri, not that any of you would come mind. Right then, let the bake fest begin 🤠 #haveflourwillbake #ifeellikekhachapuritonight

Yikes! Not long now! No matter where they go I will find them…. though it has taken a long, long time. So glad to finally catch the legendary band @clannadband on their Farewell Tour and experience Máire’s goosebump-inducing voice once again. One of my favourite bands ever, especially in the 80s when they knocked out “Magical Ring”, “Legend” and “Macalla” in successive years, all brilliant albums. #clannad #farewelltour #moyabrennan #robinthehoodedman
