Meeting a new rescue cat tomorrow. She's called Princess. Not sure about keeping the name.

Everyone said to get it. It lasted a day in our house.

Scavengers of the arts and artists.

Yellow beak may be back.

I saw a seagull on the TV. I could tell what it was by its yellow beak.

I reckoned if it was safe to put up your nose, your ears are as delicate. It only goes on the outer skin and slightly inside. Best

Empirically, it works. Do cs will tut tut but it cleared up.

I had ear eczema from 2005. Three years ago I tilted my head and sprayed it with Avamys nasal spray. Mad I know. After a week the eczema began to recede. Two weeks after it's gone. Not had any since. Docs tried drops, creams and bathing. A spray of Avamys every day...it can be bought privately. X

In hospital ATM. Collapsed last night. Possible TIA. Scan later today.

Been out of sync for a while, fainting spells, then COVID and flu. In hospital on oxygen. Then on to Tamiflu. Now on steroids and antibiotics. Had to stop my rheumatoid injection as it lowers my immunity and antibiotics fuck it over. So I'll be on painkillers very soon. It's a game.

Hope it's not an intrusion. Best. X

Sent over a copy of the anthology I'm in..x

One will be with you soon..x

Hello! Good to make contact again.
Are you writing?

I'm in print soon. I'm in an anthology by Northern Gravy.

@simonblackwell.bsky.social hello Simon. It's ackneylad from that Twitter.

no more than a rotting vegetable in Aldi.

Severely tempted. Might raid the piggy bank.

We had huge problems with our IT supplier GEAC they installed the computers in all Hillingdon libraries. The system was slow, lumpy and largely useless. The contract was renewed again after it expired. The librarian who did so went off to Norfolk University to inflict it on them too.

Zoe Lyons in Sheffield last week:

Trump, looking like an orang-utan stuffed by a trainee taxidermist.

X A struggle here too. Together we can do this life bollocks. Keep going.

Chatted to Dave Greenfield outside Edgware Road tube. I just said Hello and he stopped and chatted. I'd just come out of work. Punked up.

My order for it was cancelled.

Mick Karn was a Hackney boy.

I have all their and his stuff. 'Ghosts' makes tearful and happy. Melancholy.

A line I will always remember is when Budgie bursts into his flat and shouts 'knickers off the milkmans here'. His MIL is standing in the front room. Simple. But funny. I used it a few times....to no avail.

Adam Faith in Budgie.

Best mate. Hope it goes well.

More tests ahead. Another scan. Sputum tests.
Exercise test.
Uncle Tom Cobbly.
Might be a form of bronchiectasis.

Thanks. More tests. 😬

Got a poem being published in Ink Sweat & Tears next month. Called 'Kiss me quick.'
