It was worth standing out in the cold to look up in awe at the lunar halo around tonight’s full Worm Moon.

So good to see such a big audience at tonight for 2001: A Space Odyssey on the Cinerama screen.

It’s exactly 11 years since I did this, so I suppose I should have released an 11 disc anniversary box set today. #11xEleven

Mimi Parker was one of the first and nicest people I interviewed for my radio show. This is such sad news.

Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but
She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.

Imagine ALL of England & Wales under 2-10 feet of water, and more than half of the UK’s population without ANY livelihood or shelter.
That’s the scale of the Pakistan floods.
Please, continue to raise awareness.

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.

Even though the outside temperature has dropped, it was still 27.5°C in my house at 6am today. It’s a shame all this excess energy can’t be put to use somehow, rather than just making the house too hot to sleep. #heatwave2022

Watching Jonny Bairstow’s sparkling innings today, it was easy to forget that the world’s best batsman was at the other end. Joe Root seemed happy taking singles to just watch Bairstow along with the rest of us. #ENGvNZ

My first day at a Test for 3 years didn’t disappoint. Jack Leech’s 10 wicket haul is almost as pleasing as his 1 run in 2019. And I spotted Lord Patel walking around so I had a brief chat with him to tell him I support what YCCC is doing now to defeat racism. #ENGvNZ

Some of that other life that I hadn’t yet seen includes one of our local foxes. It was enjoying a snooze in the long grass when I got up this morning. #NoMowMay

3 years ago this was just a lawn. Now I have yellow rattle, clover, plantain and several flowering grasses. I see lots of moths fluttering around in the evenings and I bet there’s lots more life in here that I haven’t seen. #NoMowMay

COVID-19 has finally got me and I’m gutted that I’ll miss in Leeds on Saturday. 😢 I have 2 tickets that cost me £25 each. I’d accept less if someone wants to go in my place.

I’ve passed a rather sickly landmark. It’s 20 years since I last threw up. 🤢 It was in Cambodia, January 2002. I remember it vividly because it later turned out I had amoebic dysentery. Life was very different for a good 5 years after that. But at least I never threw up again.

I suppose as Spotify’s artist database is still fundamentally flawed, it’s not a huge surprise that some lyrics also get falsely linked.

It appears Spotify’s new lyrics feature may be a little off here. ‘Red’ by Dirty Three is an instrumental. 🤷🏼

It’s 15 November and I’ve finally harvested my last courgette of the year. It has been extraordinarily mild. Although maybe extraordinary is the new ordinary.

Hundreds of ladybirds have been trying to find somewhere to hibernate along my road. They seem particularly attracted to the insides of my window frames. Sadly, I think a lot of them are harlequin ladybirds.

I can now get 5G at home so I’ve done a speed test. I knew my broadband was slow, but the difference is amazing.
Broadband: download 11Mbps / upload 2.3Mbps

Having planted winter aconitine for early pollinators, it was a joy to see a hoverfly on one of the flowers today, the last day of winter.
