- Just checked my calendar and in the same week I finally release Jockula, I'll be hosting an @xtclisteningparty.bsky.social for English Settlement, as well as going to a gig on the Friday. Very tempted just to take the entire week off work (I wish)!

- Currently listening to this Jive Bunny album as I needed to figure out if I was misremembering something from childhood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM5b...

- Well, it's supposed to be the first rock choir session of the year, but I've not heard anything from the organiser as to whether it's definitely tonight. And I don't fancy going out in this horrible weather to get all the way there, only to find out it's not on.
