Last couple of days I've been putting in some Velux windows in a spare bedroom. At least three times I've walked in and this thing has scared the shit out of me after forgetting it was there 🙂

Since it's #NationalAlbumDay in the UK today... Has there ever been a better run of great albums in tandem with such a great run of album covers as these records by Super Furry Animals? (That's a rhetorical question. The correct answer, of course, is: No, there has not 😉)

Check out their brilliant album if you like a bit of guitar laden psych/shoegaze. Highly recommended!

I visit my dear old mum several times a week at the local care home.
In the evening, I often stand outside the shower room while she's inside to make sure she's safe and not getting exterminated

I was burgled in the early hours of yesterday morning in Gosforth (Newcastle). Among other things, they stole my very distinctive Riese & Müller e-cargo bike. Please share and let me know if you happen to come across it 🤞🚲 @rideelectricgo @space4gosforth @NewCycling @NclSocRide
