BBC Midlands Today producer by day, Online features writer by night... MoC of WM News Online NUJ chapel. Coffee, cats and Coventry mainly, with a few gigs thrown in.
Took refuge from the 37c heat in Berlin’s computer games museum… Managed to get on the top ten score on Asteroids :) All those 10ps on a misspent youth were were it
Off for fun in Germany with the girl.. obvs - given my rail record - already running 90 mins late…looking up Interrail delay repay
Bloody love a Getdown Services show… might have to catch them again at GM… but you missed Murkage Dave who just seemed a bit mystified as to why he was playing a gig in a library
Walked past his Three Tuns in Coventry the other day… still standing amid the demolition of the city centre.. waiting to be lifted out
Been doing some video editing this week… getting to grips with the new subtitling tool The Conformatron.. and the old faithful Project-O-Matic
I had to reboil the daughter’s effort yesterday as it hadn’t set - checked this morning and only slightly softer than concrete :) Not what you want to be doing in this heat
Bees absolutely loving the gardens at Cov’s Charterhouse… Lovely lunch spot 🐝 🐝
Like my job most days but getting to write about Terry makes it a special day… oh and a very old bird… Weekend reading incoming
Just went to interview a bloke who said “you’ll recognise me as I’m dressed as Sinbad the Sailor” .. novel…lovely story though about Coventry’s forgotten impressionist - Sydney Bunney - look at these beauts
Spotted some wild boar today.. All the Spanish Springwatch updates from me 🐗
Just about got close enough for a phone shot of the little owls that have been making a racket at 4am every morning
Ha! Feel slightly guilty I’ve popped to sunny Spain to visit friends… they have little owls nesting opposite
Eeek - extra waterproofs for the daughter off on DofE expedition today
Reminded me of the time I knitted an Arctic tern which was used as part of a touring campaign and exhibition #superseabirdsunday
Popped in to see a friend who’s just moved into an office opposite the beavers of Oxford St. Who knew… ? (old hat factory - above Foot Locker) Always look up
Now waiting for a bus watched over by the great lama tree of Clissold Park
Managed to find a more-than-decent festival Sunday roast.. Last band for me was Little Grandad - who were great - such a lovely few days :)
Festival season officially underway… Three days in a field with bands and nice people - bliss
Love a reunion.. 32 years since we launched Up All Night on 5 Live.. The only team with a wine budget and the first to get access to the World Wide Web thanks to legend presenter Rhod Sharp
@brimfulofnasha.bsky.social - not one can of Stella between them... amateurs
