@AugustaLees As welcome as ever! Thank you for the music!

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

She may, however, steal your dog. *hides*

Seriously though, her set on Saturday was fabulous and if you missed it, well, you missed out.

I'm unveiling my coviding career pivot!

I played my second folk festival this Saturday and I've another gig this Friday, a solo spotlight at Watford Folk Club 8pm with a sing-a-round.

Come along to see me and my harmonium!

Audience decapitation not always guaranteed.

So, yup. This is THE update about everything.

I have pancreatic cancer. OK, so I no longer have a pancreas either, but there's a decent chance some of it is still in me.

With a little bit of hope, we may have the chance to get rid of it.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

So then. I no longer own a pancreas. Or a spleen. Or a gallbladder. Or some other bits of plumbing.

It's been an exciting 11 days.

If you've even slightly missed my musical musings please please sign this petition.

I'm too unwell to parody regularly, & every hospital/scan/blood test appointment I run the gauntlet of whether I'll catch an infection that will make things worse.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

Well. I've been MIA for a while, no? The last few months have been an adventure!

I strongly do not recommend trying to meet the reaper due to a knackered pancreas. On the upside, I've only had to trade a phalanx and insulin production for more time at this life. A good deal tbh.

GET THIS VITAMIN D IN ME.

It's June and I've had to put the heating on.

JUNE.

As brilliant as ever, enjoy some Augusta rishing... I mean dishing out a ditty!

[Augusta Lees @AugustaLees]

🎵Here’s my Rishi ditty

Someone (@mrjamesob & more) always gets there first.

Look at little Rishi,
Wetter than a fishy,
He’ll not get his wishies,
When the votes come in…

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@OhMyGerardz Exactly the same with mine! It's almost all worn off the front, too.

I guess there's a line about the shine rubbing off brexit or something.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

Good lord. I give up.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@sophiearumble I'm so sorry.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@sophiearumble Magic! Rest well Sophie!

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@street_trashed I'm so glad you did that video the other night, about where you said the issues you've received from the AA hardcore.

That was a special video as it sums up a lot of my issues with them too.

I don't count my days, I just know I don't drink.

You are an inspiration. Keep going.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@sophiearumble I can smell the rain. (Yup, one of those people. I think it's coming.)

We must! Shall I do my usual and send you my upcoming rota?

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@sophiearumble Dark. Potentially rainy. The odd weird shaped white thing appears in sky.

Hunger. Especially when short of biscuits.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@iamgeekpie Well that solves the question of "where am I getting my scran tonight?".

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@Hoffy1956 Either something as simple as Lime & Soda... or... this stuff.

It's absolutely splendid.

[Mark T @Zombie_Quokka]

@hyggeandpuppies This. Or. Using the opportunity to make up some new ridiculous surname.
