It’s on the DVD of Gilmour’s gig at the Robert Wyatt curated Meltdown Festival n 2021. He also played it with Richard at the latter’s 70th birthday show at the Royal Albert Hall.

Bloody Hell!

Thanks DBP. In the event, because my flat sold (again) in less than a day, and to the sister of the woman who has just moved in to the one directly below mine so we’re are sure as we can be of actual completion t […]

Thanks for the sympathetic words, everyone. On a more positive note I showed the first new set of viewers around last night and accepted their offer before 9 o’clock this morning. Fingers crossed.

The solicitors don’t get paid until the deal concludes, so it’s odd that they don’t get work through as efficiently as possible to keep the funds coming in. I have to say that ours, and the estate agents at both […]

My other half has just called to say she’s on her way home from work because she’s just thrown up 3 times. Through all the wasted time and expense the thing I’ll find hardest to forgive is the trauma it has caused her.

Thanks. No one died, and all that will happen is that it will take us longer to be in the ridiculously fortunate position to buy a house we want for cash and have some left over. It’s the emotional investment we […]

And … I’m just off the phone to my bank who explained that a loan isn’t possible secured only on a dwelling, so our only option would be a mortgage which we wouldn’t want. Looks like the chain is going to […]

There was no issue of non-disclosure. Although every flat in my block is plumbed for gas a previous owner at mine had the supply capped, and all gas appliances and the meter removed. As a result the flat does not […]

I was required to fill in a questionnaire about what I plan to take/leave/sell for an agreed price. I don’t remember door handles being on the list but light fittings were. I remember that one specifically b […]

The strength and weakness of the English system is that an offer is often made the day after a single viewing, and the owner is likely to take the property off the market. Great if everything goes smoothly, and a […]

What a couple of arseholes your home’s last owners sound. Nothing like the housing market to bring out our most charitable attitudes towards our fellow man.

I’ve read and enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club books and while they might not be classics for the ages they’re engaging and very entertaining. All 3 were sent to the local charity shop almost as soon as they were […]

I might be better to wait until he goes off on one – either ranting or just rambling – then shake her head and mutter, ‘Weird.’ For some reason that’s the one that seems to get under his orange skin most, despite […]

That’s one of Hepworth’s many theories. ‘There are two types of money people make in music. Less than you would think and more than you could possibly imagine (you know what I mean?)’

With your background the next step writes itself surely?

Towards the end of its run I almost saw my subscription as a way of keeping the blog board running with the magazine as a bonus, rather than the other way round. I still valued Word for review recommendations of […]

Thanks Hubes. Onwards and upwards, but the whole process can’t help but be stressful. No wonder I only do it once every quarter of a century.

I knew 3rd September had some other meaning to me, and it’s just come to me – 25 years ago today I moved into the flat where I am typing this. Some time, hopefully within a week or two, I’ll be moving out and moving on.
