It breaks my heart to think I’ll probably never hear this live again, not in the same way at least …

Teenage Fanclub in Chester. There were times when I thought I wouldn’t make it; but we’re here, I have a seat & all is good. Fanclub double thumbs 👍🏻 👍🏻

Such plans for today. Heading to Blackpool; airshow, lots to see with Rebellion going on, record shops, geek shops. Ice cream on the front … All abandoned ’cause we’d been driving for over an hour and had yet to get to Hanford roundabout!

I’ve never visited Blackpool when it hasn’t been a stag-do, so in fact have never seen it sober (or with a hangover!) Never been to the illluninations, nor the tower or the Winter Gardens.

Gordi (feat. Anaïs Mitchell)- “PVC Divide” Much creativity took place during the pandemic & subsequent lockdown, but little music that dealt with Covid & caring specifically. Gordi was a Doctor who worked on an intensive care unit throughout … youtube.com/watch?v=7OuYdseb…

Looking for a single ticket for @TeenageFanclub at Chester Live Rooms (10th August) I expected to remain in hospital, but have been discharged early. Any help gratefully appreciated 👍🏻

Caught a bit of 1000 Men & Me last night, one of the most depressing things I’ve witnessed.

Anything that encourages people to explore Arab Strap and earns Aidan & Malcolm some PRS is fully supported by me!

Day 16 @ hospital: Sat to watch the ITV adaptation of Val McDermid’s cold case crime drama ‘Karen Pirie’ . What a treat to hear @ArabStrapBand ‘The Turning of Our Bones’ as its theme tune.

Day 14 @ Hospital: Slept much better, exhaustion eventually overwhelmed, and they left me. I emerged from behind my curtains to see everyone washed, dressed, sat in their chair & eating breakfast!

Returned from the bathroom to find my bfast waiting & today’s meals ordered. They took great delight in predicting what I like. Are they saying I’m a creature of habit, I guess we’ll see? 😬

2025 has brought so much hard hitting & thought provoking television. Top is ‘Unforgoveable’; exemplary written by Jimmy McGoven, exceptional cast, beautifully filmed & understated throughout. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Although not a particularly joyous watch when you’re in hospital & need cheering up, it’s true #Unforgivable

“If this is what you want? I’ll document and pass it on to the day team!” “Could we not have avoided all of this, and just not woken me & waited?” Trail of staff pop in to apologise. Rupert feels guilty. *PLAN REPEAT FRIDAY*

I feel I should at least try once!” “I just want to not blow my few good veins” Someone has a go, fails. Another tries, also fails! Rupert says … “This is stupid! Why don’t we wait until phelobotomist arrives or some fresh eyes. Obtain access, send bloods as (semi) urgent?”
