this week

This week i mainly just got a new Bus Pass & then went for a drink in Hebden Bridge 

Or, perhaps, it was the other way round...?

After going to the GP's this morning I then went to Hebden Bridge Library & also got my haircut at Nathan's Barbers Shop.

I must be the coolest seventy-two year old in Yorkshire! I mean , being able to drive while reading Japanese Literature is something they just don't teach modern kids to do at Driving School.

18 years ago

 

18 years ago in Manchester. 

All i remember about this day is having toothache and a hangover. 

This was in the days when Blogging was as Cutting-Edge as Podcasting is now.

The Small Faces

 I just came across this video on twitter just now. Probably of no great interest to anybody else , but anyway, I post it to preserve it . It's The Ruskin Arms in East Ham London . Now sadly ( like so many other pubs) boarded up .

When I lived in East London back in the 70's it was my Local ( i lived the next street down). n.b. i bought my Operation Julie supplies there.......

The Landlord then was the father of one of The Small Faces and, in the 60's , the band played their first gigs there .
