Watched season 5 of Fargo and it was a real return to form, did everything I want Fargo to do. So, considering that season 4 had left me a bit meh and I hadn’t made it past the first couple, I’ve given it another go. It’s ok, perhaps on its own I’d even think it was good. But lined up against everything else branded Fargo, it’s the poor relation.

We fight like brothers, my man.

My other half has been wanting to go to a Jane McDonald concert. I’ve been very positively encouraging her. My standard speech on ‘music is music’ and how I bet it will actually be a good night with audience interaction, anecdotes and rollicking good crowd pleasing songs. I think I’ve just realised she means both of us. I’m literally sat here now strategising how I stay sounding super super positive and then come up with the thought hey! This could be more of a friends / book group kinda thing.

Which in a strange twist of fate, means he could potentially now be under my greenhouse.

I can’t be sure but I think I overheard someone say it was absolutely full of kilts.

Where’s Nichola’s book about the deep state and big camper? That’s what I want to know.

**** ‘em!

Field research, when I worked in a posh restaurant, the smallest thing we killed in a microwave was a wasp.

I noticed this evening my local record shop has 4 versions in stock, each with 1 different track on it. Personally, as someone happy not to be a completist, part of me thinks best of luck to her if some tube decides they need to buy all versions. But by the same token, it does actually suck, and hoovers up industry capacity and kids spending money she really doesn’t need. So I’m stuck somewhere between it being fine, and it being selfish and greedy.

Yeah, I saw it

Don’t forget, you aren’t allowed to compare him with a Nazi, it’s only allowed the other way around.

Now that’s a photo…

Very similar vibe, but then I guess its literally a similar thing, Victorian workers terraces placed on cheap uneven land close to the jobs on the water. And all those ‘salt of the earth / he loved his mum’ scallywags. I love the urban geography of places like Liverpool. Its always the same, the shittest housing is long gone, the poor housing is still there for the workers walking to the jobs at the ends os the streets. Then, as the land and the aspect improves the houses get larger, gardens appear, ornamentation, parks, wider roads, tree lined pavements for the managers and the council staff.
