Wednesday 29th January 2025

Wow. Parents night last night – same week as tax return. As I’ve mentioned – I do like January – but this is taking the piss.

Anyway – the kid’s doing all right. The teachers were all pleasant enough. The Art teacher was cool. The Design teacher used to be in the army and he can do loads of press ups.

So wonderful as it is, January has its drawbacks. I suppose the best month of the year is May. Good weather, Skies full of light. Months of summer ahead. Eurovision.

There you go, May is the best.

Nature itself is beautiful all year round. I’d like to go for a walk. But there’s all this stuff to do….

Music Round clue for Joker & Thief tonight:

This is Dire Straits and their song which appears in the the music round tonight at The Joker. If you’re anywhere near my age, you’ll know it. The linked video is an un-necessarily lengthy live version. All the comments are like “this is the greatest performance of all time.” Don’t know about that – but it’s all right.
