Not sure what the point of sharing this here is, but next week I’m installing an art exhibition in the world’s smallest museum - the clifftown telephone box in Southend. It’ll have diaries on fabric and a let you contact the dead instagram.com/reel/CyV_NAmIz…
I can’t remember ever actually leaving a gig ever that early in my life before. I’ve seen talk of the Strokes having ‘sound issues’ last night and it was absolutely not that. They played a shitty setlist and didn’t give af. YeahYeahYeahs were, however, blindin.

Just popping in to report that the episode of Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ (Season 2, Episode 39, 2013) is pretty much the exact plot of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). Also one is much better than the other.

Finally back at work. Would have returned sooner but was locked out of my laptop by what I thought was a forgotten password, but was actually my username.
I forgot who I was.
Locked out of my own laptop by some sort of metaphor.

More dad treasure from my aunt’s archives. Hard to read but a clipping from a local paper, 1971, when he held a 24hr DJ disco marathon for charity and go-go dancers mopped his brow.
ALT A press clipping from about 1971 of my dad, a local disco DJ, who played non stop for 24hrs to raise money for charity
ALT An account about the DJ known as Alan Gibson, playing at a nightclub in Ilford, Essex, for 24hrs to raise money for charity in 1971. He has a killer moustache and excellent disco Afro.

Today, a family friend (who sang at my parents’ wedding) read the eulogy that my dad wrote for himself. The whole room was full of snotty sad laughter at his awful, wonderful jokes (and if you know anything about Jewish funerals, you’ll understand how special and rare this is) ❤️

My fave Older Relative social media user trope is “put a thing up”. Did you see what your sister in law put up? Danny Dyer put a thing up about Eastenders. Mum’s friend put a thing up with some minions on. Vague and muddled yet accidentally perfectly descriptive. I love it.
