Heart of Nature On The City’s Edge. Cardiff North, UK. 📷

Caught a curiously creepy ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’ on Sky Arts UK. Titled ‘The Glass Eye’, in half an hour it encapsulated more drama, nuance, creativity than most bloated Hollywood blockbuster movies! This 1957 classic co-starred a suave actor in ascendence @WilliamShatner!

Vinyl vibes! 🎶 Peace & tranquility is now resumed under a daisy-like condition! 🌼 @WeAreDeLaSoul has now entered your mind, body, and soul….💥 3 Feet High And Rising. ☮️ #TurntableTunes 🎧 #HipHopClassic

Turntable Tunes & Vinyl Vibes! 🎶 Amy Winehouse - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus Smoky jazz piano & vocal cut that is a class above the schmaltz & soul-less plastic of Kylie Minogue, et al. Whilst the Michael Jackson/Jackson Five version is a favourite, Amy hits the spot!

Positive news - not dross - a project that changes lives! 🖊️ As Manic Streets Preachers sing - Libraries Gave Us Power! 👊 Access to knowledge & culture shouldn’t be a postcode lottery… Authors back library cards for all UK babies! #Books #Literature📚

The news appears to be a shitshow of cuntfuckery. 🙄 So here’s a snap of my cat, Zita, to cheer up your pre-Christmas timeline. 🐱 *not sure she’s that impressed! 😝 #Smile 🙂

We know @realDonaldTrump is hubristic, but his delusional response to the murder of Rob Reiner & wife takes his narcissism to yet another level. No, Mr President, like most things in this world - reality check - it wasn’t about you. In comparison, the grace of Paul McCartney…

Director Rob Reiner’s murder is heinous. As a kid, Stand By Me developed my love of Cinema. A classic. Spinal Tap was genre-breaking; a fun sequel was released this year! Rob’s role on the latest season of The Bear is a highlight; his regular podcast appearances always a joy.

Turntable tonight - classic British Christmas single by sons of immigrants. Andrew Ridgeley via North Africa; George Michael via South/East Europe. ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham! is No.1 again on the official UK chart! Inconvenient narrative for Nigel Farage & Tommy Robinson! 🌍

Wind on my face, sound in my ears…🎶 A little Buffalo Stance from Neneh Cherry’s book & fresh OJ has brought colour to the day!📖🍊 Shades not needed; espresso definitely! ☕️ Sometimes, the life of a freelancer has its perks… until the bank balance hits!😝 #ADayInTheLife🖊️

The rotten scent of Musk reeks. He does not define me with his stench. My maternal line is British-European. Paternal grandfather is North African. My son’s mother is Asian. Wife’s paternal family: North American. We are a melting-pot culture of humanity. #GlobalCitizen 🌍

Meandered around city centre’s castle district where my grandmother lived & worked as a teenager for the Marquess of Bute. 🏰 Pretty sure they didn’t have shitty plastic centurions guarding the 2,000 year old Roman-built Cardiff Castle back in her day - nor Emperor Augustus! 🤷‍♂️

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. (1980)🖊️ On this day 45 years ago, John Lennon was murdered, aged 40, outside his home in New York. Batshitcrazy. The creativity lives on… and he was right - Give Peace A Chance.☮️ #JohnLennon✌️#TheBeatles🎶

Close Encounters of the Bay Kind! 🛸 Last night’s UFO sighting above the Pierhead building along Mermaid Quay in the Tiger Bay district of Cardiff. 📸 Let your imagination flow… 👀 It’s not the light reflecting through the window whilst we grabbed a 🌱 burger & fries! 😉

Mr Bojangles time on @jazzfm! Take Red Dwarf legend/song’n’dance extraordinaire @DannyJohnJules - who has worked with everyone from David Bowie to Cliff Richard! Sprinkle in his love of Sammy Davis Jr - who was born 100 years ago & adored by Michael Jackson. You have a show!

Christians. Hoisted by own petard!💥 Religious growth? No, Benny. Only your hubristic Gilead America.🙄 Western world outside of your suffocating bubble, in particular the UK, is far more enlightened.✨ It’s a big planet of diverse humanity.🌍 Be better.👀 #MinorityReport🖊️

Date night @Everymancinema Cardiff Bay.🍿 Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - the 4th film by Quentin Tarantino was a blast. 🎬 The restored 4.5 hour movie is a Masterwork of Cinema. 🎥 Uma Thurman & QT both deserved an Academy Award nomination for this tour-de-force!💥

It’s December! Gifted mom an early Christmas via her teenage idol @ Cardiff Utilita Arena! 🎟️ Front row & sold out… she was in nirvana. 🙃 Globally Cliff Richard’s sold 260 million records without cracking America. Crazy! At 85, he smashes ‘Devil Woman’! 🎸 We went all in! 😝

Sunday sunshine south-side of the city. Silhouette sea gulls surveying the scene. Smattering of sea glass amongst the pebbles, softened by the ocean & washed ashore under the pier. #Cardiff #ADayInTheLife #Bayside 🏙️ 🌞 🌊 🚶

Weekend jam - @thebeatles … a feast for the eyes, ears, and soul. 🎶 The Beatles - Anthology 2025 on @DisneyPlusUK. 📺 It’s very bittersweet reading the credits: “In loving memory of John & George” “Produced by Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr”. Yet… the Fab Four live on. 🙂

Remembering George Harrison who died this day 2001. Don’t smoke kids! 👀 Look at the unbridled joy on their faces as George & Beatles brother Paul McCartney lay down vocals for the ‘Abbey Road’ album in the summer of ‘69. 🙂 Music, creativity, art… the air that we breathe! 🎶
