Delighted to be helping @JaneAustenHouse decipher Sir Francis Austen's memoir in the search for additional info about his more famous sister. I knew all those hours spent trying to decipher my own handwriting would be useful in the end


Bus 375 appears to have ceased operations for the moment tfgm.com/little-gem-bus…


Remembering my paternal grandfather JWG Holt who my father never met and wondered about all his life. He survived WW1 but irrevocably changed mentally & physically by it. Totally disappeared from the family record in 1920/21 to be found in a Sussex cemetery this year.


Have to record seeing my first Xmas ad on TV last night #toosoon


Listening to Hawkwind on the Freakzone (via iPlayer) @BBC6Music & struck by how much this version resembles Charles Grey doing the Timewarp in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Might they be related @StuartMaconie ?


Today sent an old towel to the recycle bin. Realise I purchased it 42+ years ago. Does this make me a a) sustainability exemplar b) utter skinflint or c) pathetic saddo? (Can family members remember that answers other than a) will lead to no access to my wallet at the pub)


Appears Stagecoach will no longer be running the 375 route - being transferred to @littlegembus. I guess, but don't know, tickets will not be transferable so probably no hopping onto faster buses in Marple neither do I know implications for schoolchildren using 375. Be aware!


Consider supporting local music @manc_collective by buying I was at one of the original live concerts and though the elements are diverse, the combination of Bach, Ligeti etc. works & with a track available for free and the EP cheap, what's the risk?

So excited to share the news of our debut EP ‘Recreation’ ✨ It’s a mixtape of some of our favourite music by Bach, Vivaldi and Ligeti, with new vignettes by Paul Clark. It will be released on 04.09 via @bedcomrecords Listen to ‘Prologue’ now bit.ly/recreation-ep

Via Mellor church: The decision by GM Combined Authority Transport Committee to stop funding the 375 bus leaves Mellor without public transport. On Sat. 14th March at 10.00 the Mellor Society will hold an open meeting in Mellor School on Knowle Road to discuss the implications.


Never in my wildest dreams did I consider the existence of maple leaf tempura, let alone eat it, till yesterday. Obviously led a very sheltered existence.


For all who are local to me please note that there is a proposal to withdraw the 375 but service in Mellor or massively change its route. This has not been well publicised but the Marple website has the details. Need to act now.


2 excited birthday ladies (looking at you Ruth & Carey) coming down from the North to see @UpstartCrowPlay this evening. Lets hope transport standards have left the early 17th century behind today.


Did a it of a double take last night when @philipglass quietly sidled onto the set at #taoofglass last night during #MIF19. Never thought I would hear him live, so much more textured than I had ever imagined
