I was fifteen in 1976. I remember well the dawn choruses of that time. Now I just want to weep with the sadness of its loss to modern society.

Top story on BBC News at 10 this evening? Some football team stayed in a tournament (that hasn’t even finished yet) by scoring goals.

Fourth story? Oh it’s been very “warm” recently, what shall we do?

Fuck. Sake.

Working in our shop is never the same two days in a row.
The last 2 customers have made me feel old but happy and then inspired.
A lad in his late teens wearing a Bulldog Bash t shirt. I remarked upon it and he told me it belonged to his Grandad! It was an original t shirt from 1991.

The next customer, a lady in her 70s. She tells me she's out and about enjoying herself 6 months after walking out on her abusive husband of 40 years. She left with nothing and he doesn't know where she is, she's enjoying every second of life.
