A photograph of a car park with a yellow van with the words Bishop’s move painted on the side. The van is parked diagonally across the lines of the car park.
One for the chess players out there.
A car overtaking a van on a motorway at 89mph. Photo from speed camera.
Got a notice of intended prosecution in the post. Gutted to get fined and Three points on licence.
Felt better to find it was Mrs B in my car hurtling up the M6 at 89mph. Hopefully her last Six points have ran out by now.
Cover art for the book Notes on an execution by Danya Kukafka. A fix is the cover photo.
Not sure which lovely person I follow on here recommended this book but I’m glad they did. Loved it. The lives of the women take centre stage rather than male serial killer protagonist. #booksky

@lostfootballs.bsky.social Been a busy month.
Same here. One going next year & the other the year after. A mortgage on top of the mortgage.
My wife putting the last piece in her Richard Hawley jigsaw.
That’s a lot of fucking orange says Mrs B as she successfully finished her @richardhawley.bsky.social jigsaw. #richardhawley
A screenshot of shite adverts and detritus spread across the screen 📺 f something you want to read.
Christ, that wasn’t the easiest thing to read with all that crap everywhere.
A family in front of a sign saying they were captured by escape the fort.
Half term and the kids have been like 8 year olds we have to entertain. Done bowling, crazy golf and today failed brilliantly at a WW2 escape room.
Hopefully they can go back to spending all day in bed scrolling like they’re supposed to & give me a break.
With a name like that and such a glowing description from David himself I’m surprised they weren’t massive. 😉
Thanks for finding that out.
He gets a mention in the James Brown Loaded book about him being in a band too. Very fleeting though so yeah, probably terrible.
Portrait of author David Peace.
Met David at a reading for a reading of Red or Dead. Told him I’d read all the Red Riding books one after another. He looked at me with a frown and said ‘why would you put yourself through that?’ He had a point to be fair. Also got a portrait of him. Lovely bloke.
Headline in local online rag about man getting his wife up the duff after only two strokes.
Not much fun for Sophie though.
Hot cross buns on a plate in front of a keyboard and monitor.
An afternoon snack of hot cross buns whilst editing the shit out of terrible theatre lights whilst listening to Gil Scott-Heron. The revolution will be properly white balanced.
A follow would be lovely Reece. Thanks for the offer.
My last trip to Southport has the same shit on sale too.
The book cover art for the Kevin Rowland audiobook.
Just finished this. A strange autobiography to say the least. He’s made terrible decision again & again with his life and career.
Glad he’s acknowledged his mistakes with friends & ex band members and tried to make amends but probably a better title for this would have been ‘With Hindsight’.

I had a brief stint at CoOp funeral care last year. Eight including me of 13 staff had read your book. You definitely have an audience in that sector. Look forward to your next book. May get it from the library to give you a boost in a year :)
Quicker than you’d think.
Advert for a piece in tech radar. Something to do with eyewear and cameras and anal. Wasn’t going to read any more than the headline.
Nope. Not going to read anymore of that thank you very much.
I enjoyed this one.
Film photograph of my younger self wearing Levi denim red tab jacket and a hat.
Been sent this photo of myself from a mate. Judging by the hat, it’s mid 90’s. Still have it somewhere. Strange to see that fresh faced twenty something again.

No money left after Christmas but still manage to find it for gig tickets. Bit like kids and making room for pud after leaving half their food. If you’ve not heard of her then you may well enjoy something new.
Mrs B has bronchitis but feeling a bit better so local bar and local restaurant for us tonight.
Hope all you lovely people have a good time yourself tonight however you do it and all the best for the impending enshitifaction that 26 is going to bring. X
Happy Christmas to all you lovely people who keep me amused everyday. Hope you get everything you want and all have a peaceful but fun time.
Love from me and the family. Xx
A white transit van parked up with double yellow lines coming up over the front from the road across the bonnet and back onto the road.
Told you you couldn’t park there.
A box from The Range store of an inflatable perfect woman who’s nag free and compliant.
Fucking hell The Range. What year are you living in? Nag free, Compliant? How is this shit still being made and then actually approved to be put on sale?
Really sad news about Martin Parr. He was such an influence on mine and so may others photography. He saw the beauty and joy in the mundanity of life and brought it to life in his work. What a legacy of work he’s left behind for us.
