Today, I found this 1977 copy of A Clockwork Orange 🍊 Cover by David Pelham 🧡
We've been clearing a big cupboard to make way for some new storage, mainly to hold the ever increasing vinyl collection, but Nick's allowing me a couple of shelves for books 😉📚
Hi. I've not been around as we just lost part of our family. Robin, my brother-in-law, died from cancer on Monday. He was only 57. This robin visited him and my sister not long before he died. I'm not religious, but Mother Nature brings comfort when it's most needed. RIP RM 🖤 x
Wotcha. I haven't posted any interesting things from my mum's house lately, so here's a 1971 edition of Frankenstein with a fantastic cover! Happy Saturday night to you all 🖤
Hello. Life is a bit relentlessly shit for me right now. However, we have just acquired an allotment, so I am going to channel my energies into planning a little green haven 💚
Evening. Whatever you're doing this NYE, it's just another evening, and it's all nonsense, really. Anyway, here are some flowers from Diana, and love from me ❤️ Thanks to anyone who follows me and bothers to like my tweets ✌️
Evening all. I found out earlier that I got the job! I am genuinely very chuffed about this, and I feel like things are finally moving in the right direction. I'm just off to meet two great friends, so celebratory drinks will be consumed 😄 x
Hi! Some nice news for a change - I've been offered some temp work as an SEN teaching assistant after Easter, and it's at a great school that I've worked with before. I hope it goes well, even if it's just short-term, as I really need a confidence boost (and the money 😆) x
After my Salt 'N' Pepa tweet earlier, I was thinking about my first Walkman and how much I loved it. There are still some of these knocking around and some cheeky beggar was trying to sell one on Ebay for £249!!! 😲
We've never made a thing of Valentine's Day, but we've usually got each other a card, and this year,

Hi. Yesterday, Robin (my brother-in-law) was cremated. He didn't want a funeral and instead we are to have a party. He asked my sister to put some of his ashes in a firework to let off at the party. It seems like a fitting tribute. Fly high, Rob 🖤🕯
It's my birthday, and I'm proud to say I've turned 48! I'm thinking of my friends who didn't make it to this age and feeling grateful to be here. On a lighter note, it was sports day at school today, but there was no egg and spoon action, which was disappointing!
#EggAndSpoon
My dad died 7 years ago yesterday and it's his birthday on Monday, so these few days in January are always the worst for me. But he wouldn't want me to be miserable, so I'm celebrating his life and feeling grateful for having him as my dad ❤
Evening all. Well, 2023 was a bastard, so here's hoping that 2024 will be better for all of us! Thanks for bothering to like/reply to my lame musings this year - most appreciated! Peace and love ✌️❤️ x
My dear friend Loula died 3 years ago today. I miss her so much. Over our 30 years of friendship, we went through some really tough times together, but we had many beautiful and funny times too. Tell your friends you love them ❤️ L.N.C. 1975 - 2019 ❤️
Another contender. I didn't get into this until '97, and then I found out our mums had been good friends when they were young. I ended up kipping on her sofa after a gig. She was as lovely as you would imagine her to be 😊.

Hello! Today has been a good day, and I'm also feeling quite positive about myself, so I've taken a selfie to mark the occasion 😆 Anyway, I hope you've all had a lovely Sunday 😊 x
I'd like to disappear for a bit. Not in a worrying way. I'd just like to be on my own, somewhere remote, with only books and music for company. Nobody hassling me. I've got 3 days to jolly myself up before Christmas Eve.
Hey, lovely people. Right now, we should be seeing Slowdive in London, but instead, we're in a Pitcher & Piano in Reading, drowning our sorrows. Today has been a disaster, but such is life! Cheers all🍸
Hey. I've been at my mum's house today to raise a glass to my dad, who died on this day in 2015. I never got to say goodbye, but he knew that I loved him 🖤
Just want to say Happy New Year and thank you to all my Twitter friends. Your interactions have meant more to me than you could know. Sending love and good wishes to you all ❤
Here's to better days in 2022!🥂🤞xx
Hey. I was talking to my friend who lost her mum earlier this year, and then thinking of my sister, who's having her first Xmas without Robin, and it reminded me of how hard Xmas without a loved one can be. I'm sending love to anyone facing a tough festive season ❤️ x
This album had a big influence on me as a kid. My mum had it on tape and I would play it on my Walkman all the time. Suzanne Vega is such a talented song writer, and I still know every word to every track on this album 🖤

Hey. I write a lot of tweets these days that I don't bother sending in the end, mainly because they're so boring. But hey, things can only get better! Right?
Anyway, here's a fab photo of Annie to brighten up your night 🧡
Evening. Well, I didn't get the job, but what will be, will be! Anyway, I will keep on keeping on, and I send love to you all ❤️ I'm slightly drunk, so please forgive me for my indiscretions 😘
I'm a bit boring and quiet on here at the moment because I'm dealing with a lot, but I wanted to say thanks to all my lovely Twitter pals for sticking by me. You're a good lot ❤️

Evening all. Life is so bloody complicated sometimes! There are so many decisions to make right now 😫
I won't bore you with the details, so here's a pic of Nancy Sinatra looking very cool instead ❤️✌️
This time last year, I was in a bad way with my mental health. I've come a long way in the past 12 months, and my lovely Twitter friends have helped so much. Thanks to all of you ❤
Mystery Dog.
‘Dog’ was anonymously submitted to the Young Artists’ Summer Show 2021. The elusive artist wrote: “This is my painting of a dog.” What more do you need to know?
Evening all. I've been doing a lot of job hunting and life admin over the last two days and making slow progress. Anyway, here's another cool book cover from the collection. Groovy, eh? ✌️
I'm doing something exciting next month - I'm going to see
@222aghoststory
👻 I've been desperate to see this, so I booked a day off work and I'm treating myself! 😃 And I will see the amazing
@iamstephbeatz
in real life 🤯 Bonus 👍
Would anyone be so kind as to like this picture? Our girl has attempted several times to get a like for her Noel's art club pics but to no avail! It would make a 6 year old very happy 😁
Evening lovely people. I've got serious back to work blues, so I'm looking at my holiday pics with a large gin 😁
I made a collage of the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean that we saw last week. I hope you like it 💚 x
Good evening. I've slightly given up on here lately, as I don't see posts from lots of my old pals, and hardly anyone sees mine! Oh well, such is the way these days 🙃 I'll stick around for a bit longer, though 😄 x
Hi. I feel quite broken by this week, but I will keep going and enjoy life as much as I can to honour those who aren't here. Twatter can be a great distraction at times like this, so I will make the most of it. X
Evening all. I rarely see a Debbie pic on the Twatter these days, so here's one to make up for it! In other news, I'm finding this job completely exhausting, but I've seen a job at a college that I really want, so I'm going for it 💪😁
Good morning. We went to the allotment yesterday and found that we've got our own blossom covered apple tree! 🌸 It's so lovely, and I feel very grateful it's there 😍 Happy Friday to you all 💚 x
Evening all. It was 9 years ago today that I last saw my dad alive, and I'm eternally grateful that I gave him a massive hug that day as he died suddenly less than 48 hours later.
Hold your loved ones tight, my friends 🖤
Winter Landscape by Caspar David Friedrich
Evening all. I've been going through some old photos, and found a selfie from 2006. I'm a few months off turning 30, and I'm on a boat in the Ganges ✌️ I think I look suitably chilled, and I actually quite like this pic 😊
#ThrowbackThursday
I'd just like to say a quick thank you to the dependable few who still like or reply to my tweets! Seriously, if it wasn't for you, then I'd be gone! 😆 ❤️ xx
Good morning. I dreamt last night that George served me a drink because he was working as a barman in a pub. It was a nice dream 💚
Have a fab Friday ✌️ x
Evening. I just wanted to share my new/old Blondie singles from Japan (a Xmas present from Nick). What on earth is the fur coat and boxer shorts look all about?!! P.S. Please don't actually reply to that...... 😆

Evening all. This week has worn me out, but tomorrow, I shall start job hunting again and try to remain optimistic. The stars will align for me soon! 🌟
Evening all. I can't believe my gorgeous friend Loula left us 4 years ago today. I miss her so much. I love this photo which was taken at a festival many years ago. She had such a great smile ❤️🌹🌟
Here's 15 year old me in 1991. I was looking through some old pics but couldn't find many from that year - probably because of my silly hair 😆 And before you comment, I was definitely stoned in this photo 😄
