January, not April, is always the cruelest month. I’m very happy to see the end of this one.

So sad to hear about the death of Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Band/The Rutles/Monty Python) today. I’m the Urban Spaceman

Unseasonably mild weather today.

I’d forgotten how great the Popclip app is. The ability to select some foreign language text on a page and have Popclip translate it is extremely useful.

We don’t usually have a family Christmas until Boxing Day so I hope everyone has had a happy festive time.

Just watched the very first episode of The Expanse. I think I’m going to enjoy this.

I’m already a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to Kindle books so £0.99 for Neil Gaiman’s American Gods quartet was an easy purchase.

When it comes to great big works of fiction it’s Kindle all the way for me.

Last pub quiz of the year. We lost the main quiz but won £50 of drinks for the next time we visit. A good night and just what I needed.

Fantastic show by Dweezil Zappa and band in Glasgow tonight. Perfect antidote to the December doldrums. 🎶
