Tales From The Crypt - Thursday 17th November 2022

Another busy day ahead, so you'll not hear a peep.

Power has remained stable all day.  Makes you realise how much you take it for granted.  For how much longer?

Drinks with the Idler returns and tonight's guest speaker is Jonathan Coe, author of novels including, 'The Rotters' Club', 'What a Carve Up! and, most recently, 'Bourneville'. He was very interesting about politics, writing and other themes.  I got to ask him a question about musical connections to his novels - 'The Rotter's Club' is named after an album by Hatfield & The North (which I'm sure you knew 😉) and music features greatly in that novel.  I came away with two music recommendations: one classical (Herbert Howells) and another, Vinny Peculiar, who isn't.

After the talk, there was a chat amongst friends before we all quit and I went for dinner.

Son #1 and I ate together while watching Frankie Boyle, which was full of laughs, as usual.

The end is nigh, so off for a chat, poem, Idler magazine, music and sleep.

Tales From The Crypt - Thursday 3rd February 2022

Image
Thursday begins early as usual, but with the added excitement of a visit to the nurse for a blood test, primarily, as I understand it, to check if I have a vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid deficiency. (I know I don't have an iron deficiency as I'll be using it on some jeans (genes?) later. Sorry. I'll get my coat) Blood bottled up and ready to go off to the lab, I head for home and work, via the essential coffee stop. It's a very busy day for meetings at work and consequently the usual applies. I am due to be heading off for the south coast this evening, after the Idler drinks with Professor David Nutt talking about the 'real science of cannabis and health'. Mid-afternoon it looks as if our plans for the weekend are in doubt.  I await news with anticipation and have already formulated a plan B.  Plan A is on!  There's a slight alteration, which means I'll not be able to attend the Idler drinks tonight, so I guess I'll need to find time to watch the r...

Love, Poetry and Revolution - Monday 13th February 2023

Image
A busy Monday ahead with a mix of chores, admin, work (on my non-working day 😇😕), course reading and TV watching. Chores are underway and a couple of vital (hush, hush things) are done. I'm finally going to sit down and watch the last one and a half episodes of 'Happy Valley'. A brief interruption when the carers make their lunchtime call, but now I've finished 'Happy Valley'.  It was a really good series with a dramatic and thought-provoking ending. To ensure that I've read episodes 2 and 5 of 'Ulysses' in time for Wednesday's seminar/discussion, I'm reading them next.  It should also give me time to research things that need it (famous last words!) Filing. That's another thing I need to do today.  So much paperwork arrives regarding E's care and supplies that no matter how much I tell myself I'll deal with it as it arrives, I don't.  It would be a good habit to develop. The good thing about filing is that I can listen to t...

Dreadzone at SUB89 in Reading Friday 7th April 2017

Image
Back to SUB89 and also to Dreadzone after a semi-enforced break, on a Friday night and accompanied by my sons - "Dreadzone virgins" in the words of MC Spee: sounds like the setting for a great night out... ...and so it proved to be! There was no support act though Greg Dread (Greg Roberts, drummer) played a DJ set prior to Dreadzone taking to the stage - a gentle warm up for what was to follow.  The band took to the stage to cheers and applause and launched straight into 'Rootsman' from the new album, a great reggae-based opener that led neatly into MC Spee's intro for 'Return of the Dread' - and already the "bouncing crew" was in full sway. Dreadzone are a joyous band live - it's impossible not to dance - and I for one had a grin from ear to ear whilst dancing for the entire two hour set. There was a good mix of old and new songs though a definite bias towards their most "successful" album, Second Light. S...

Tales From The Crypt - Saturday 6th August 2022

Image
A panoply of exciting activities to begin my day: laundry; food shopping; washing up; cleaning the kitchen.  When will the excitement end? The highlight of my shopping trip was a chat with the bread girls about their children and a general life catch-up. I narrowly escaped catastrophe (biohazard) in the coffee shop when I queried the milk they'd used to make my coffee. Turns out they had made it with milk originating from one or more cows when I had requested it be made with milk from the nuts of a coco. I wasn't clowning around. The saga wasn't to end there, however. When I arrived home son #3 helped me unpack and put stuff away. Unusually,  I placed my as-yet untouched coffee near where we stack the bread and pastries bought from the bread girls. You know what's coming next I'm sure.  If you imagined my coffee was knocked over, the contents of the cup unleashed in a tsunami of caffeine and coconut, you would be correct. Owing to the lie of the land, the tidal wave...

Lockdown Diary - Sunday 19th April 2020

Image
Gonna take it slow today.  Breakfast of coffee and almond croissant. Take my time drinking the coffee, maybe make another. Not much of note today either. Did a load of jobs and chores, you know, the usual: washing; cleaning en-suite; cut my hair; trimmed my beard (weird). Also found time to read the papers, read a bit of the 'Wake and continue a dialogue with a friend that started on Saturday. I was pleased to see I got a reply from Henry Eliot, author/presenter of the 'Borges' course, to my course comments and questions. He wrote an interesting and detailed reply which did agree with my thinking on the parallels between Borges and Joyce. More research to be done, I think. For a change we decided to have a takeaway from our local Italian restaurant for dinner: it's good not to cook all the time. Booked the collection time in the early afternoon (last time we tried to book a collection they were full, so took no chances today!) I'm experimenting with the Hi-...
