I watch sea eagles and take in the sights and sounds of Lake Washington and Mercer Island bear Seattle.

I take a break from mowing the lawn to try and fix the strimmer. Gah!

The sounds of the water wheel at Worsbrough Mill Museum. Best with headphones.

Prompted by a meeting with a colleague from the past I think back to simpler, more complicated times, friends lost and found... and Stereolab.

I nip out to catch the opening hour of the second ever #longplayer day, capturing some Lindsay Seers and Rhodri Davies along the way.

I borrow a book from the free outdoor lending library known as Snøhetta Book Pavilion. Smoking shelter meets Parisian pissoir in its look, this brilliant spot actually gives us a place to escape thanks to the National Literacy Trust. Launched during the 2018 London Design Festival. https://snohetta.com/projects/396-snohetta-book-pavilion

I catch my first trip to London on an LNER Azuma train.

In which I subscribe to a dead tree magazine with an obsolete freebie to read a story I’ve read a million times before.

I took my Dad a playlist of some of his favourite songs. With Alzheimer’s it’s hard to reach moments of focus, purpose and clarity and it was lovely to see him, using headphones to get in the zone, singing along happily and undistracted. #alzheimers

Reflecting on Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures on it’s 40th anniversary and also on what I was actually listening to at the time.
