Bloody hell. Today was a tough walk down the street

So many people smoking. Evidently today must be rubbish day or something cause everybody had their bins out and they all reeked

31Β° with thick smokey air and steamed rubbish and rotting milk stench everywhere

Doesn't it do that when we get over a certain number or something? Same for me on Boost.

I haven't got a Spotify either, but in the spirit of sharing our music lists my top 5 were:

Tim Curry doing Mick Jagger

Paul Kelly doing Taylor Swift

Living Colour's Times Up album

Metallingus by Alter Bridge

XTC Dear God

Loving seeing everyone's lists on here.

I'm listening to the audiobook of the Gormenghast trilogy and the names of the characters are just amazing. After the initial 🫒 the characters grow larger than their names.

What awesome books.

here are some of the names.

Dr Prunesquallor. a really nice kind competent character

Lord Sepulchrave. The sensitive lord.

Flay. The loyal brave and smart personal assistant to Sepulchrave

Lady Fuschia. The teen daughter

Swelter. The head chef, a disgusting character

Nanny Slag. A sweet old lady.

Deadyawn. A school teacher.

Dog eye, a student.

I don't have spotify but I've been listening to a lot of Eric & Bas, Brittish hip hop. Which I found via this AI art music clip.

Song: Eric & Bas - T-Pain.
Clip: The Dor Brothers - The Drill
