Read: 1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left by Robyn Hitchcock 📚

Can I count this as my first read of 2025 despite starting it a couple of days ago? Anyway this is a short and sweet memoir of how Robyn Hitchcock became a “groover” at school in 1967. A nice origin story of an original artist.

The Allander Record Fair was in town again today. I always feel obliged to buy something but I was happy to get these for a decent price. All seem in good condition.

Three LP records. Morris On - v/a. Swarbrick - Dave Swarbrick. The Psychomodo - Cockney Rebel.

Photo collections are nice but it looks like any alt text is getting removed which is not so nice. I can’t see a way to add it back in. Unless I’m doing it wrong which is always a possibility.

I’ve lost Whamageddon again. If you go anywhere near a UK shopping centre at this time of the year you’re guaranteed to hear that darn song.

A small, decorated Christmas tree with colorful lights is placed between a television and a wooden chest in a living room with framed art on the wall.

I got my little Christmas tree out. It’s small but it gets the job done.
