Good morning Andy.

Kavanagh I’d say and I haven’t looked.

All AI now. More’ s the pity.

They very well might have been. #DifferentTimes

This was my first exposure (ahem), to Francoise. We used to holiday in Skerries, a fishing village jutting into the Irish Sea, meaning BBC radio could be heard. I blame the BBC and my hormones. I mean, she had a French accent, I’d lead a very sheltered life.

Is that a moustache I can see?

14 is a very crucial age for the adolescent male. Take it from me.

Francoise ‘Ardy. If you heard her first when you were fourteen, as I did, it stays with you.❤️

I was on holiday in Lake Garda a couple of years ago. There was a restaurant/ bar near us, where I’d go for coffee about 10 a.m. Always be a few old boys there, with a vermouth and a newspaper. I so wanted be them.

I feel very judged by that cat.

@mmch.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:51 PM

I couldn’t believe I got there first. Thought he’d be the first person on the list.

@mmch.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:48 PM

Liking the look of that.

@mmch.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:45 PM

Cannot beat a bit of JMJ.

If that doesn’t make you want to stroll down a boulevard, drop in to bar for a glass of red wine, twenty Gauloises and a copy of Le Figaro, I don’t know what will.

I only know him as a name , but I’ll have to have a listen to this. Could do with some funk grooves as the evenings get darker.

I’m a big cumin fan, but also saffron and smoked paprika, gives everything a nice kick.

O whence the leaves
scuttering down Easter Road,
sycamore and rowan
desperate as refugees,
crowding against the wheels of street-side dumpsters…

Autumn
by Kathleen Jamie

O whence the leaves
scuttering down Easter Road,
sycamore and rowan
desperate as refugees,
crowding against the wheels of street-side dumpsters
– common leaves
with two-three crisp packets, like gaudy imposters
fleeing by outside the corner-shop
convenient for milk and pornography …

see the leaves hurry, Shy but Dirty –
past the Chinese nail-bar,
Mr Greg’s Tatoos –
they’re here, look:
blown into your stair
with the pizza delivery leaflets …
O whither the leaves?
