Blog2025 ≫ Imagine if I never wrote anything again

Imagine if the blog just filled up with "health stats" messages, with lower and lower step counts until they eventually stopped. That's kind of what's happening isn't it? I don't really go anywhere or do anything, just work, then stay in trying to keep warm. Heating is coming on every day at the moment that's nice.

Today I did walk, a little. After tea wife drove me to Sandgate and I went in The Ship hoping to bump into a friend. He wasn't there so I texted him, he'd been in earlier, but came back. A few beers sat in front of the fire, very nice, then a walk home. Weather a bit rough, I had a storm warning pop up on my watch earlier.

Some news from popbitch:

Both The Darkness and Peppa Pig have Xmas records out this year. Sadly neither will be troubling the Xmas number one countdown.

The Darkness’s attempt sees them cover Mistletoe and Wine. The original Cliff version was produced by 21 year old wunderkind Paul Moessl.

Peppa Pig’s new single, Peppa’s Christmas Bells is written by none other than... Paul Moessl!

FYI: The Darkness’a ex-drummer Emily Dolan Davies is also the daughter of Peppa Pig producer Phil Davies. Spooky.

I was at a Darkness gig this day in 2001, also a Placebo gig in 1996 and a great comedy show with Stewart Lee, Harry Hill, and more in 2015.

Only been to the pub today as I have a day off tomorrow, lovely.

46Kph winds and heavy rain, 8 - 11℃.
