Another great thing about the BBC's 1965 Sherlock Holmes TV series, it's one of the very few productions to keep Holmes's original catchphrase "Purse wank!"

Keith harris had a phase post cuddles when he’s developing Orville but hasn’t got the duck puppet yet
The puppet he does use is erm minstrelly

If you look into its eyes you can see the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival.

Saw a little Cavalier puppy on the tram this morning and it was a proper little reminder of our Toby.Felt myself filling up a bit and had to get myself right.Still miss him and our little chats around the park (in between him mithering squirrels)

My girls got me this (among other things) for my birthday a couple of days ago.Great book to do a bit of research.Not that I need any for Stalybridge/Ashton. @totalcurtis.bsky.social

Thought I’d watch Masterchef for a bit.Only had it on about 30 minutes and heard the word ‘Journey’ about 67 times 🫤

Sunday boozing.

A wonderful wrong answer on The Chase.

Still occasionally look down behind myself when I’m in the kitchen making food.He was a bugger for just appearing silently right behind me!

Second this.Lost our boy Toby in February and I’m still catching myself having ‘little moments’.But the almost 10 years we spent with him were the best years we’ve had as a family.

A nice distraction from the ‘other stuff’.

Jigsaw!

Record fair purchase from a couple of weeks ago.Got round to listening to it today.#Bowie

Walking and boozing.Bank holiday special.

Imagine thinking a trip to Wembley is to watch a bit of footy.

If only there was some sort of signage to make lorry drivers aware they are approaching a low bridge.

And the number on the tin of beans was the year they needed to be used by,not the time of day on a 24 hour clock.

That bacon could do with 4 days less cooking.

Eddie Grants forgotten follow up to Electric Avenue.

Sure is.

A bit of refuelling after today’s big walk.

Can’t they just put signs up round Dubai like we had in Manchester at the height of the Cold War?
‘Dubai - a military drone and personality free city’.

New Mills,handy for the hills.
It’s good to get out.

I’m starting to think ‘lessons will be learned’ and ‘we must listen to the voters’ doesn’t mean what I thought it did.

Bugger.Stay safe.

Most won’t care.It’s a cult.They refuse to believe anything that’s said against them.Even if it’s something they know will affect them (lower wages,less worker’s rights) they’ll still not go against them as they think ‘they don’t mean me’.

It’s mind boggling how people think these are going to ‘save’ our country.I’m not too sure what from,mind.
‘We’re going to take away all of your rights and make sure you’re paid next to fuck all’
Sounds great!🫤
