  Little rib tickler yesterday.
  Fun little one drawn up by a friend who’s leaving the country- we bonded over historical footwear and skating so a victorian button-boot skate seemed appropriate.
  Malice had her draw it straight onto the tracing sheet with no cleanup from her so it’s perfectly imperfect(my mate is a great illustrator luckily).
  Obvs cos I’m a muppet I don’t have a finished pic.

  I’m in awe of the local kids round my way who can just chill on the back wheel indefinitely on a beat to shit bso mtb.
  A few have those dedicated fat tyre wheelie whips which do look pretty fun for fucking around on.

  I’ll DM you. He’s been around for decades and is a true old boy craftsman. I could have talked shop with him all afternoon.
  Luckily the neck was still straight but he said he’d want to see it again a month after I pick it up for that reason.

  I had an 80s Japanese reissue duo sonic briefly before I acquired this along with a black on black 78 musicmaster which I gave to a friend about 10yrs ago.
  Considering I was shit at guitar as a teen and then gave up I saved hard and bought a couple of really nice things. Glad I kept the best of em.
  The student models are wonderful, I really wanted a matching bronco.

  Just spent a lovely hour talking shop with an old gent called Haim somewhere in the depths of Finchley.
  Stunning little workshop and clearly his sanctuary from the world.
  He’s excited to give the Swinger its service, describing it as ‘easily the most charming and significant Fender I’ve seen in over 30yrs’.
  Quite a compliment.

  So cool, congrats!
  I keep getting close to buying one so often but never been bold enough to commit.

• The fall of the Tory party

  I hope they hurry up about it. The tory party has been falling for ages now and I’m giddy with anticipation for the crescendo.
  The ‘tory party limps along and very slowly recovers because the proles have short memories’ thread just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

  Full apocalypse before the end of this season please, no cliffhangers please :)

• Anyone with an allotment?

  First visit to the allotment today since November. We’re unashamedly fair weather gardeners.
  Was in much better condition than expected as we did a much better job of tidying and covering beds last year. Harvested some carrots and the onions and garlic we put in last autumn are going well.
  Really just need to tidy the paths and strim the edges and start digging.
  Might put a proper deck in this year as we had more than enough growing space(anyone in e17 want to take on a bed?) so will put a bit of unused space over to making it more habitable so we spend more time there.

  Was pleased, had been feeling a little daunted about going up over the last couple of weeks.
