Yes, sorry – was in a rush earlier
Leave it till about 1 min 35 for it to get going. This of course was a stream of the warm-up for the upcoming Opera House shows at the end of the month, to commemorate both […]

I’m not on Facebook but I assume the link was to the live stream? It’s on Youtube now. Predictably.

Ooooh! A nod to the Finns to haul me out of this extended Afterword hibernation. A bit off-topic but had, at age 21, my radar picked up on the Frenzy album in 1978 then Stuff and Nonsense would have won the prize […]

homebaked commented on the post, Just seen the first swallows of summer! 8 years ago
I’m in the South of Gloucestershire, as opposed to South Gloucestershire (don’t get me started . . . ) and was pretty surprised to see housemartins last Sunday when out for a walk. It’s the sort of thing that […]

Flippin’ ‘eck, DFB – I live near Stroud and, even knowing where the venue is, still get lost sometimes – labyrinthine lanes in the wilds of Woodchester – so am mightily impressed that you got there in all that […]

The film Truly Madly Deeply was my introduction to Bach’s Sonata no.3 for Viol di Gamba and Piano, so this mesmerising piece of music is now indelibly linked in my mind to the film. While this is probably pretty […]

Nah – not just for those al fresco moments: include any loo which isn’t your own. Also for when your make-up has gone rogue; cleaning fingers after putting air in your tyres (or do the rest of you just go round […]

These are the absolute minimum requirements – I need to know it’s all there, like having a comfort blanket, to avoid a feeling of doom and impending crisis:
Purse
Card wallet
Paying-in-book (hardly ever […] -
homebaked commented on the post, Nick Lowe – a man's man? 8 years, 8 months ago
Well speaking as a laydee, I really like what I know of Nick Lowe’s stuff. A propos of nothing in particular, I realised long after the event that I first saw him c. 1974 at one of Harlow Town Council’s fabulous […]

Articulated lorry, by the look of your list.

My ex-pat brother included Marmite in his essential supplies (which was tea bags, mainly) last time he went back to Basel. Marmite got confiscated at the first opportunity.

Oooh Neil! (And you, Neil). You beat me to it. Despite my devotion to All Things Finn, I have always found this one a bit toe-curling. Maybe because it’s just about the only Neil Finn song that tells a story […]

Goats’ cheese.
Anything battered (or crumbed) and deep-fried.

Plastic white sliced bread.Then there’s a food I absolutely love, having eaten it once or twice by […]

No, John, you’re not. Tea. Ugh. I do try every few years, but I just can’t . The smell . . .

Tripe. My Mum did indeed cook it from time to time – we lived in a household of great – ahem – austerity, my Mum having learned her cooking skills during the war and the subsequent rationing, and my father having […]

My experience too – but any decent restaurant will oblige by substituting the (agreed, repulsive) goats’ cheese with an alternative. I’m not vegetarian but don’t get a lot of pleasure eating a meat-centric meal, […]
