Why is it only 9pm? I've already done a 36 hour day of cooking and conversation, since 10am this morning. Tired.

I've been watching the 80s Fall Guy series. You'd be forgiven if you thought this image was wrong, but Tom Selleck appeared in S1 e12 as himself. In the first of this 2-parter Lou Ferrigno was the Hulk. Class #fallguy #leemajors #tomselleck #hulk #nostalgia

This and everything before it. Anything after, including Joshua Tree, I can do without. Also, they may well have done some really good stuff, but it's 'them' I dislike.

I never watched Miami Vice first time around. Probably slightly too young, although I remember some of my mates talking about it. Maybe it was a protective parent thing. Anyway, considering it started in 1984 it holds up. S1 e4. #hooked #miamivice #michaelmann

Feel like I've spent an inordinate amount of time adding commas to poorly written docs this morning resulting in me rejecting their use in my own written work to the detriment of the readability of that work which resulted in me being out of breath trying read it back it being a long winded joke.

Wife brought her old violin from her Mum and Dad's. I've ordered a new bow and some resin. As if I don't already make enough noise with my guitar and harmonica. Fun times ahead 😁 #music #creativity #mentalhealth #tinnitus #noise

This evening I have been mostly learning to play The Highwayman (by Jimmy Webb), then cooked a Daal curry and a vegetable curry, then 27 onion bhajis for the hen do of one of my wife's best mates. I'm now eating trimmed lemon cake - the 3 tier 'hen' cake is magnificent πŸ‘Œ
