Great news! I’m going to try for tickets again on Wednesday (though managed to get to a show last June and feel a teeny bit selfish even trying to go a second time given I know the demand for tickets has been massive)

“Where’s Grandad?” (and the grandfather after taking a hopper and falling into the river. Traumatised looking at the ads)

It was such a great gig. I don’t know how I managed to get tickets in the Dice app but as soon as I did I was booking our flight to London! It was everything I could have asked for. Hoping you get to see them play at some stage in the future! 🙌

@traceythorn.bsky.social I didn’t realise you were on here until today! 2026 rocks (he says, ruefully watching as it goes downhill rapidly from here)! Hi 👋

We saw Sam and Beth at Live at St Luke’s in Cork in December and honestly, he was just a delight! It was a great gig (right up there with your own and Ben’s at The Moth Club on my birthday)! ❤️

A mug from Great Ormond Street Hospital in front of a kettle. Text overlaid saying: The Same Day Twice. Losing my best friend at fourteen. Losing my mother thirty years later. Learning to live with both.

Missing No More One magical night in Hackney with Everything But The Girl — and a fan’s dream come true.

I’ve been writing in Substack lately. Here’s a piece I wrote following the Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn gig at MOTH Club last week open.substack.com/pub/micheald...

Not that I have seen. And there’s so much in the past week alone I would have loved to have seen his take on things

“In like a lion, out like a lamb” — though today’s been a beautiful day. Spring very much in the air. March is welcome.

Felt like #TheWhiteLotus stepped it up a gear from the first episode of season three to the second. The storylines are starting to take off. The new theme song has grown on me too.

@mariankeyes.bsky.social Finally saw the skit on “Who do you think you are” and it was gas! ‘Host of what? A parasite?’ and ‘Gollum with a hair transplant’ had me skitting 🤣 Fair play!!! ❤️

I had to bring the tin of Danish butter cookies to work because I not only opened it, I was in danger of eating the lot myself 😅

Sunday morning, tea and toast lit by the Christmas tree lights. Watching Rick Stein’s Cornish Christmas show with Pudding (our cat) curled up beside me
