  I've had this ancient cassette in a draw for like over 30 years and the tape broke (an old C120 so yeah daft thin tape) but i think there's something on there i'd like to hear. I do have a tape splicer but no splicing tape. I only need a little bit and splicing tape is a rarity thee days but one day i'll have to buy some just to see what rubbish is on the tape. #cassettes

  Got my password for the new #Scotrail app. Seems to sort of work. The search is a bit odd. The new app is made by SilverRail apparently. A work in progress. #Scotland

  I think of all the classic but rare synthesiser excesses the Yamaha GX-1 must top the list. When introduced in 1975 it cost $60,000 (circa $420,000 in today’s money), weighed 272 kg and really was just made as a luxury, very limited availability test concept and sold to seriously well off musicians (i mean polyphonic in 1975 was a rarity and with both horizontal and vertical after-touch). Keith Emerson is playing one in the promo for ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man. He broke his, bought J...

  #3GoodThings Got out inbetween the light rain. Tried some new Golden Wonder crinkle ridge paprika crisps. An oasis of joy in a world of otherwise shrinkflated crisps. My other half has finished their open university diploma. Feeling empathetically proud they stayed the course.

  Amused by a local story of a 103 year old woman attributing her longevity to her love of Quavers and Wotsits crisps so had to look up what year they came to beas I was sure they'd only been around for half of her life. 1968 and 1971 respectively. #UK #crisps

  Why has nobody made an electric toothbrush that channels music into your mouth as you brush your teeth so people brush for longer as they go full talk box ala Peter Frampton?

  Some people are seeing Xmas stuff in some of the stores already. Have a word with yourself if you are a store with Xmas s*** in it right now.

  Had to bite my lip reading one of those "we earn 80k but are struggling financially". People have big costs I guess just some more than others.

  Sounds like GoPro continue to be a company in trouble. Some are giving them until the end of the year in terms of survival. #ActionCameras #GoPro

  Predictably there were a fair few fireworks going off around here last night. Oh the schadenfreude.

  #3GoodThings Found a 2004 dated disposable film camera still in box (let truly awful expired film results be mine. See previous post). My fatigue has abated somewhat today. The garden raspberry canes continue to be producing a great crop. It's #cranachan o'clock.

  New #Scotrail app coming end of July. The existing app will be junk. New app will require a new setup and won't save payment details but will operate with Apple pay and Google pay. Think I'll stay with Train Pal. At least they refund tickets. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/important-information-about-buying-tickets #Scotland #apps #rail

  Love that there is a #synthwave track called DpaintIV. Oh the things I did in Dpaint way back when. Suitably nostalgic track. https://youtu.be/eXOPa_Gs420?t=52

  Miserable wet weather day here (aren't they all?) But have been visited by Alan Rickman cat (who did meow exactly like their namesake) with perfume cat though very fleeting. Both were drenched but clearly had more important business than having a Chinwag with me.

  My radio app has BBC1 and BBC2 audio feed stations using the audio description option. Listened to Blade Runner on BBC2 for a bit last night with audio description which spoilt the Vangelis soundtrack as the description just filled so much of what you are listening to.

  Just saying but the NAC supplement i got smells putrid when you open the container. Luckily the capsules have no taste. You have to wonder.
