@TheSimonEvansX Beautiful writing. I saw you for the third time (nice to land the hat-trick) last Thursday in Aldershot and loved that show as much as the other two. Knowing now the circumstances under which you performed it, I am unable to adequately convey my respect and admiration. Godspeed.

What’s your favourite track from the album?
Very sad news on the passing of #ChrisRea who left a musical legacy but will forever be remembered in my mind for popping an egg into Bob Mortimer’s bath
@matthewsyed telling hard truths. His writing never disappoints.

After 60 years on the planet I’ve heard a lot of advice and wisdom. Only some have stuck and helped me navigate the challenges and opportunities life brings. In under two minutes I’ll share 12 that have worked for me. Scroll to the end and I’ll share a bonus one you’ll love.🧵
Hands down the greatest Xmas song (with a tipped hat to the Waitresses’ Xmas Wrapping in 2nd and Tom Petty’s It’s Xmas All Over Again in 3rd), and I will brook no dissent.
Beautiful and joyous. A small antidote to our troubled times.

Big big love to @bigbigtrain for tonight’s warm-up gig in Eastleigh. I only discovered the band about 6 weeks ago and they’ve been on constantly since then. They played most of their new album “The Likes of Us” - it is stunning. Loving the cricket references in Last Eleven!
