60 years since the Aberfan disaster. The year I was born.
In 2016 I spoke to David Davies for a Radio 4 programme. He was 8 and at the school when it happened.

Chatted with a young Spanish barista who wanted to know where my ‘strong’ accent was from.
“Are you visiting London?”
“No, have lived here over 30 years”
“But you still have such a strong accent”
I felt very proud.

Want to feel really old? Try dining solo in a busy city centre Nando’s on a Saturday evening. And yes I was asked if I knew how to order using the QR code.

Very strange man at the front door.

This one came up on my memories today. It’s from 15 years ago when I was asked to play the role of JP Ewing, the dashing but ruthless long lost brother of Bobby and JR.

Disappointed to hear ‘Thinking Allowed’ is one of the Radio 4 programmes to be ditched, mainly because I once shared an office with Laurie Taylor and thought he was one of the coolest dudes I’d ever met.

All the schoolkids are going crazy with excitement on this bus because @MichaelRosenYes happens to be on board. Now that’s a genuine celebrity for you.

There are always sad stories in the news and I rarely comment but this has really touched me. I respect the police but not these two who acted like they were facing an armed terrorist. If you have elderly relatives in care the video might make you cry.

Jumping on the Jeffrey Archer (RIP) bandwagon, I know I interviewed him many years ago for a Radio 4 weekend programme but I can’t remember what it was about. I do remember his home was lovely though.

Somebody needed to make that little bit of extra width.

Not sure if I’m gonna get off this train alive.

When two fence posts fall in love.

I know the feeling

New home. At last I’ll have a dedicated room for my flat caps.

[JP Devlin @devlin_jp]

Nice to be back at the old stomping ground for the leaving do of a former colleague, and happy to report that everyone remembered my name.

[JP Devlin @devlin_jp]

New home. No visitors please.
