Robert Smith wrote the lyrics to "Friday I'm In Love" in a few minutes, inspired by that light and happy Friday feeling. He himself said that the song was almost an "inner joke" of the band: an absurdly cheerful and upbeat track in the middle of a more varied album, quite different from the classic gothic sound of The Cure.

It was one of The Cure's biggest hits: #6 on the UK Singles Chart and #18 on the Billboard Hot 100, helping Wish become the band's most commercially successful album (around 3 million copies worldwide).

To this day it is one of The Cure's most played songs on radio and parties, a classic that transcended the gothic label and conquered everyone.

Wonderful screaming parties of #Swifts along De Montfort Road tonight and we saw an entry to a nest box at the rear of Western Road. Three entries and two exits at St. Anne's Church and up to 11 Swifts swooping around our area of #Lewes.

Far end of the airfield but worth getting the steps in to see these beauties at this weekend's RAF Cosford Air Show.

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone

All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Cherry Falls is a bush tomato, so needs no pinching our or tying up. It is one of the earliest tomato varieties we know.

So we sowed seed of Cherry Falls on 16th March, and today, just less than three months later, we picked our first ripe tomato.

You could always spot a bean stealer with the smug nervous look on their face, trying not to make eye contact with the canteen cowboy, white skin where their wedding ring should be, back for seconds as though they never got fed at home.

And then there was the covert bean stealer. You’d find him lying on your bed at dinner time, waiting for his scran bitch (single soldier) to come back from the cookhouse with his order. Usually, a black mug of tea and sticky buns and whatever else their bitch could smuggle past the canteen cowboy, stashed in the map pocket of their combat trousers.

But sometimes PADS were allowed to eat in the cook-house while on guard duty then raid the guard box for leftovers to take home for their Hank Marvin (Starving) pad brats, or they were confined to camp during Active Edge call outs. So, it was happy days for the pad whose missus couldn’t boil a f**king egg.
Warning! If, easily offended I really do advise you not to read this book

On this day in 1982, HMS Glamorgan was struck by a land-based Exocet missile with the loss of 13 lives.

As ever, our thoughts today are with Glamorgan’s crew as we remember their service and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

Please can anyone confirm that the 2 incredibly cute, blobby, beige invertebrates on the edge of the right petal of this Tormentil flower, are Springtails?

If not, what else might they be?
