With thanks to @veedub70.bsky.social for picking this up for me from Raves From The Grave, Frome as part of his RSD 26 haul..

Long player. Now, I'll settle
With a cup of teeaaa..

Fish supper tonight
All baked in a starless pie
But I'll gaze on it

*obviously, the helmet prevented the actual wind-in-my-hair experience, but you know what I mean ...

I often wonder,
What music the Purple One
Would be making now?

Jay's dead? I'm tired
Of this bad news, never good:
Could say I'm jaded

Haiku-ing whilst tired is dangerous!

Take a break!

Apologies, I had nothing to give yesterday and needed instead to sleep, deeply..

My Mojo absent,
I plunge headlong into sleep —
Haiku left hanging...

I'm starting to look forward to my May holiday from work, where I get to stand in the corner of a field and not have to think too hard ... for many reasons.

Spotted first in Kettles Yard, enjoying the Gallery too, then an hour or so later in the famous Eagle public house, where Watson & Crick announced the discovery of the double-helix d.n.a; we gave up our table for Gaz and his wife. As we were now old friends, I felt able to ask for this selfie!! I know who's the cool one..😉

@paddy-roberts.bsky.social

Oh yes, ''liberating'' a traffic cone is indeed a rite of passage!

Bumped into Gaz from Supergrass not once but twice on my recent visit to Cambridge...

He's 'Alight', but don't 'Lose It',

Went well but for the demand
