Month: April 2019

I’m up early and record a version of a song about growing up in Blackpool called Stanley Park. I’ve had this riff in my head for years but I have only ever played it once to an audience and that was at a solo gig I did in the Boars…

The last Sunday before Election Day so we group together on the No.4 Car Park at 10:30. Nice sunny morning and a good turnout from Ashley Knowles, Mick Page, Karen McGuinness, Pauline O’Rourke, Darren Butterworth, Alan Ferry, Rob Wynne and Gaynor Wynne. I took two walks today. My first walk…

Today is Saturday and for many of the good people of TGC that means one thing – FOOTBALL. As well as being the birth place of Jesus Christ Blackpool is also famous for inventing Baby Jesus’ favourite game football or soccer-ball as it’s known in Genesis. Today Matthew, we are…

I woke with cramp in my legs a couple of times last night and I feel a bit energy depleted this lovely Friday morning …. Went to the gym and am told the pool and sauna are closing for 2 months for an upgrade. Pity as my routine tends to be gym…

Another reasonable night’s sleep – two in a row so that’s quite encouraging. Usual feline, music and blog related tasks then a bunch of customer paperwork and emails to expedite before the 9.00am bell rings. Early morning highlight was listening to the mixes of 2 new tracks by the Great…

Today is St George’s Day, I bet after the weekend’s excesses most people do wish it was a national holiday. Fed cat, showered, sorted breakfast and then off to retrieve car from Bloomfield Road. I mentioned in yesterday’s blog about the army of BFC volunteers who give their time for…

Dropped off some election leaflets and posters at the Bloomfield Club for the BST Open Meeting which I was unable to attend. I believe Seaside Lee is filming it so I will be keen to hear Tim Fielding’s piece and Robbie Whitaker is going to give an election update in…

Another bright sunny morning greets us as  I awoke with a rendition of a now familiar BFC tune in my head with a subtle electoral twist courtesy of Rob ….  🎵 Woke up this morning feeling fine I’ve got Blackpool COUNCIL on my mind … 🎵  We’ll get BLACKBURN out…

Set alarm for 5:30 so I could get up and get some breakfast for Our Jack and BG, but they were already up and showered and away before 6:00. That lad is a grafter 6 days a week managing the Arnold Clark Auto-trader branch in Preston. Hard-working and dedication is…
