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

Watching Jaws. Robert Shaw. Absolutely brilliant actor. This and The Sting, hold enduring memories #jaws #thesting #redford #newman #shaw #movies #film
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
Buy flowers for my wife most weeks. A gesture. This week, Β£16.50... Reduced to Β£1.65

Next up, 'WheelFest' Saturday 14 June. I'm on at 2.15pm, hosted by Rhubarb Radio. WheelFest is a car meeting event that takes place in Pontefract town center. It showcases variety of vintage, classic, and custom cars. Also features a 1940s zone #pontefract #livemusic #folkmusic #americana
It's an ace couple of weekends ahead. On Saturday 7 June I'll be opening Packfest at The Woolpack in Huddersfield, then on Saturday 14 June I'm playing WheelFest in Pontefract Town Centre #livemusic #musicfestivals #huddersfield #pontefract #carshow #wheelfest
Updated gig list for the next few months. Slow and steady, but getting to play at some cracking events. Should be a lot of fun www.thedeadpoetmusic.com/upcominggigs #livemusic #musicfestivals #folkmusic #folkrock #originalmusic #singersongwriter
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.
Here's a new video for an old track. Let it Rain is from the album All My Ghosts. Hope you like it :-) youtu.be/M1Xskky8U70?... #music #guitar #singersongwriter
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
A reflective post in response to a fellow songwriter who told me at the Filey Folk Festival that they're "behind everybody, and trying to catch up." www.thedeadpoetmusic.com/post/no-one-... #songwriter #songwriting #folkmusic #fileyfolkfestival #livemusic #philosophicalreflections #folk

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.
Up since 5am this morning. Not a great start to a busy day. Going to comfort myself by reading a new book - had it for a while actually, untouched - Bound for Glory, Woody Guthrie #books #reading #tinnitus #folkmusic #folk #history
Gig list for the next couple of months. Nothing too taxing, should be fun #livemusic #indiefolk #folkrock #folkmusic #americana #fileyfolkfestival
Advantage of #tinnitus. I'm up in time for the first #f1 qualifying of the season.
Update: I've bought new strings, Rosin and chords / notes chart for the violin. A day of blah, at least ends with a piece of mild amusement
Four years to the day since Mum passed away. She was a truly wonderful woman. Miss her every day.
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 π #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 π
It's world book day, so I'm just going to put this here #worldbookday2025
