Go out, they said, it's good for you, they said. I'm not a dolphin. I only want to see this much water lapping at the edge of a beach, preferably in Amalfi or Positano. (at Lymington, New Forest, Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmt7WmoML9E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I watch F1 races with music playing. For obvious reasons todays music will be by Foo Fighters. A great band to soundtrack cars going outrageously fast round a track. #F1 #foofighters #taylorhawkins (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbnMPEsM52u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you @harbourlightspicturehouse for the £3- ticket for @thebeatles rooftop gig movie Get Back. Frankly I got a bit emotional seeing them play together & clearly having such fun. Watching a Bobby who looked about 15 yrs old get so upset about them playing on the roof was hilarious. "You can radiate everything you are."

First trip to the cinema in three years to see a romantic classic just in time for Valentine's Day. Later I will be doing that other great Valentine's Day thing & watching the Super Bowl. #casablanca #ValentinesDay #superbowl (at Harbour Lights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ6_Jobswel/?utm_medium=tumblr

A bit late posting this but on a mild, mizzley January night I had the joy of watching the Saints win 4-1 over the Bees. (at St Marys Football Ground , Southampton) https://www.instagram.com/dahoudrees/p/CYr1b5poeyh/?utm_medium=tumblr

My Christmas dinner is a fry up, I love a good fry up. However, due to my love of charcoal I have used a stock image rather than one of my fry up as burnt everything often offends. Hope you all have a fun & happy day. Stay safe peeps. (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/dahoudrees/p/CX6O9ijIyAb/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's the Winter Solstice so what better way to celebrate than with some old favourites from the early 1980s (& soup because it's blooming cold. Note: soup not pictured). #japan #Heaven17 #OMD #christmas #masamutsuchiya #gentlementakepolaroids #davidsylvian (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXv23Z7I-F2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Four albums that are battling for my ears. All from this year & demonstrate just how vibrant the music scene is as live shows return. @snohaalegra.@chloemoriondo @joycrookes @littlesimz #BestAlbums2021 (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVse6E5oCk3/?utm_medium=tumblr

So yesterday was fun. Southampton's first goal scored at home this season, first win of the season & a beautiful sunny day. (at St Mary's Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJCKEhomVV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Time for our usual walk n talk round the reed bed. (at Eling Tide Mill Experience) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqjI8kn5EV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Birthday to my longest standing friend (not pictured). She has chosen to have her birthday on International Record Store Day (pictured). This post is in lieu of a birthday card (not pictured), which continues a long standing tradition of me failing to send her a card. Have a great day Anth & at least you haven't got up at the crack of dawn to queue with the hipsters in the hope they still have a copy of a Steely Dan album by the time you get to the shop at midday.

So yesterday the heavens opened & I thought our walk would be off but three hardy peeps showed up (& an excited Labrador dog) so off we went. I don't have pictures of any of them just of the rain on my way to Eling. (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTSwZDHEAO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's walk is coming from Swanwick? No, my Bournemouth bound train from platform 3A switched to 3B but not before a train had come into 3A, which I & a couple of others got on. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not been to Swanwick since I was made redundant from a software publishing company here 28 years ago. Senility emulation in full effect. (at Swanwick railway station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-Y0ooHGeW/?igshid=1uwh379rxhv9d

Second jab done. Downpour getting here & downpour incoming now I am off home. Stopping to get treats at Asda. Now to stay alert for the new variant... (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5XxAwHWk6/?igshid=1fwln9j4hr8g9

Fiona Apple's Fetch the Bolt Cutters was my new album of the year but the glorious deluxe re-issue of Sign O the Times by Prince was hands down my most played album & a shining light in a dark year. (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeRgZTHMio/?igshid=11v84f3dqfin8
