Spurs 1 - 4 Arsenal…
Great day out with @gaygooners to paint North London red once again.
Arsenal arrived with a few nerves, but left with authority. Eberechi Eze did his derby thing once (no, twice) more, while Viktor Gyokeres also powered home a brace. Spurs buzzed but were swatted aside. Statement made, table topped, neighbours quiet.
Onwards & upwards, my friends.

Blondie in Camera 1978 @ Barbican Music Library…
Yesterday Darren and I went to see Blondie in Camera 1978 at Barbican Music Library in London’s glitzy Barbican Centre.
Martyn Goddard’s lens turns 1978 into a time machine with better cheekbones. Fifty shots of Blondie at full voltage, Debbie Harry smouldering, the band mid-detonation. Posters, album art, even the cameras get their own moment. Rock history, beautifully framed and faintly feral.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Darren…
I went out with the lovely Darren yesterday afternoon for a great catch up, nice food, and cocktails. We had a right laugh. 😂
(We’d been to the Barbican Music Library to see the Blondie photo exhibition earlier - but more that later.)

A Small Win…
I’m heading to Welwyn North today. To see my mum. A semi-regular trip by train. 🚂
My Oyster 60+ gets me to Ally Pally for ‘free’. So as usual I planning on buying a separate extension ticket for the rest of the journey - a return train ticket from Ally Pally station to Welwyn North. The usual £9-50 return. 💷
Except…. Making the same journey a couple of weeks ago, an inspector got on my train and checked my ticket. She pointed out I’d made a mistake. Shit! What? Yikes! 😱
Well, it turns out the error had actually been in their favour. The Oyster 60+ card actually extends as far north as Hadley Wood - four stops up the line from Ally Pally so nearer Welwyn North. 👍
And the price of a return ticket from Hadley Wood to Welwyn North? £6-50 return! D’oh! I’ve been over-paying by £3 every time I’ve been to visit my mum! 🫣
The thrill of discovering you can do something slightly cheaper in your sixties is unmatched. 😂
The Milky Bars are on me! 🍫
