Lunchtime, bikini, SPF'd up, getting some sun. Days like this are rare.(Also, realised there is an aspect of our garden which isn't overseen by anywhere else. Tanlines be gone!)

Oh damn. PIcked up the wrong tin of spray so had to start a piece again from scratch. Never mind, quick shower then a trip to Range to get another tin of glitter. It *shall* be done!

I don't feel strong enough emotionally to work through that fucking farce of a "consultation" yet. Give it a day or so.

Quite horrid news: the venue for the twice-a-year concert I come out of gig photography retirement for, have adopted "The Fucking Interim Fucking Guidance". End of an era for me then.It's just one more thing to chalk up, really.

Finally got down the to-do list enough to do some of the non-critical bits, so trying to get a march on next week's horrors instead.(God this beer's rank. It's alcohol though, innit.)

Working late so relocated to the one remaining LGBTQ+ pub in Wakefield. Beer is bloody awful but at least I can feel a bit safer.

Dave Stewart’s trying to be as cool as Chris Lowe, failing miserably.There’s too much wankery from Annie Lennox in this one for me, not into it at all.#TOTP

Seriously though, stuff like the DX7 Bass1 patch were all over the place. stuff like FM Bells and percussive keys, not to mention the pads (which I think might be in this Feargal Sharkey one). Everywhere.#TOTP

I discovered this version of “Shaft” in a box of charity-shop 7s and was curious. One play and it went straight in the Box Of Shame.#TOTP

I’ve made a (quiet) return to gig photography recently, but only on-request and only if I’m going to enjoy it.At some point I need to write a blog article on how it absolutely became a chore and took me to a brink, but this is not the day for it.

Huh! Coincidentally, Bruce Springsteen was my first shoot at Leeds Arena. Total chaos that night because it was the first gig they put on. Don’t have any pics to-hand from that one tho.#TOTP

@pndc No, it’s been a Dell chassis since about 2008.

@Ricardus I think that episode was where they lost me. Then it came back with a stunner.
