Rune stone, Kungshållet, Kjula, Södermanland, Sweden in 1929. 

 The inscription reads:  

‘Alrik, Sigrid’s son, raised the stone in memory of his father Spjut, who had been in the west, broken down and fought in townships. He knew all the journey’s fortresses.’“

 

A very old friend is being seen for lung cancer. I've been supporting them in Huddersfield & Leeds these weeks.....

A Private Jackie Leven Audio Sent Me Yesterday

Mostly an Interview .Jackie talks about his Heroin Addiction: his meeting Princess Dianne & Psychic Healing + he plays 3 songs. One or two wee gaps & ominous silences in the audio...but be patient, in seconds the sound returns....and it's all, otherwise Good Quality sound. By the way , I took this photo of Jackie during one of his many visits to The Hebden Bridge Trades Club.

Hemmingway in Halifax

This is Phil the Ex-Fireman in front of an advertising hoarding in Halifax town centre.

 He looks a bit like Ernest Hemmingway.Non?

 Phil is my oldest friend. We first met at secondary school in 1963. We went to stay with  his family  on the Shankhill Road in East Belfast in 1968 and, later, hitched around Ireland ,the same year, meeting Beach Boy Mike Love and spending a morning with him  ! True! not bull shitting!

Plus a million other things later (n.b.  I am a Grand Parent to his children) 

A Sound Gezzer! I Love the bloke.We are Solid.

 Anyway.We went in Halifax for our first evening drink in 18 months tonight . Ken & Phil wanted to go in the afternoon , but I'd booked a Sauna/Gym & swim today so it had to be late. 

Very dead in Town .Lots of tumbleweed !. Ken bumped into a friend called Julie .... she's the landlady of "The Blind Pig"  in Sowerby Bridge . It was her birthday on Thursday ... .[Pictured below on the right.....]

The audio is Eric Clapton .
