Bean and Gone & Stall in the Family: this week's tales

I write a daily blog and have done so since January 2018. Since January 2026, I've been choosing two a week and recording them as a podcast. Bean and Gone explains what a BCT is and why they are back in the garage. Stall in the Family explains why I laughed at my son stalling his car so much and why that isn't as cruel as it sounds. The full blog is at www.threeflats.wordpress.com I wrote the music too. And played it...

Guides, Covers and Other Unexpected Journeys - this week's best bits

Every week, I take the best two posts from my daily blog at threeflats.wordpress.com and record them as a podcast. "A Cover Story" explains why a temporarily forgotten list of songs played a key part in a meeting I had this week. "Twice in One Night?!" is about the extraordinary evening where I went out twice - unheard of for a person who rarely goes out at all. As well as all the words, I wrote and performed all the music too. If you enjoyed this, there are 33 other episodes some of which has considerably fewer mistakes in the recording...

This Week: “Tickets Please” & “Musical Musings”

Tickets Please explains the perils of booking theatre tickets at work. Music-AI Musings talks about what happened when AI met one of my songs. Both are taken from my daily blog at www.threeflats.wordpress.com That's a daily blog and this a weekly podcast. Don't get the two confused please. One of my songs is also the theme tune and that's me playing it - not AI...

The Bank Holiday Backing Track That Got Out of Hand

The best two posts from my daily blog at www.threeflats.wordpress.com "Bank Holiday Backing" describes the many disasters I encountered whilst trying to produce an orchestral sounding backing track. "Much Music Based Mayhem" describes three further musical disasters involving a record case, a record, and a regimental goat... As well as all the words, I wrote all the music too. This is a weekly podcast so if you enjoyed this, please look at the previous 31 episodes. Shouldn't take long - just over five hours...

Charging Chaos and a Battery of Issues & Let The Record State (for the 200th time)

Charging Chaos and a Battery of Issues explains why a morning spent trying to charge my electric car proved to be a waste of time. Let The Record State (for the 200th time) is a pathetic attempt of justifying buying my 200th record when I really meant to buy a new watch instead. Both are taken from my daily blog www.threeflats.wordpress.com where I write stuff every day and choose two a week for this podcast. Do like and subscribe but don't ask me how. As well as all the words, I wrote all the music too.

A Volume of Vodka & Please Let This Writing Be Right

A Volume of Vodka suggests a number of reasons why a bottle of vodka lasted less than three days before revealing the actual truth behind such worrying consumption levels. Please Let This Writing Be Right is the cry of a frustrated songwriter hoping that at least, he has found an idea that works. Both are taken from my daily blog at www.threeflats.wordpress.com I write there every day - yes, every day - and have been doing so since January 2018. For the last few months, I've chosen the best two entries and recorded them as this podcast. Spread the word - this is episode 30 so there's lots of choose from. I also wrote and performed the music. Who needs AI?

Total Eclipse of the Meringue & Capability Bean

Total Eclipse of the Meringue talked about the partial solar eclipse enjoyed by parts of the UK last week. Capability Bean explains why I think I should be recognised as a genius of garden design. Both are taken from my daily blog - www.threeflats.wordpress.com - and the two best blog posts appear every week in this Best Of podcast. I wrote and recorded the music too.

App-y Daze is Here Again & This Watering Can Not Carry On

App-y Daze is Here Again deals with the modern frustration of apps that continually update themselves, and how mum nearly caused me to crash even though she wasn't in the car at the time. This Watering Can Not Carry On is a gardener's plea for rain and a warning not to touch the red watering can. Every day I write something in a daily blog www.threeflats.wordpress.com and every week I choose the best two for this podcast. Do go back and listen. Episode 2 in particular seems very popular. I also wrote and recorded the music which, given the icon of piano keys, probably won't surprise you. Boo. That probably didn't either.

Doggy Tales (RIP m'dog) & Sensitive Censoring

Doggy Tales is the post I wrote the day after my beloved dog was put down and is a collection of memories about her. Sensitive Censoring reveals the efforts behind me producing a simple BLEEP noise to censor a not very rude word in last week's episode. Both come from my daily blog at www.threeflatswordpress.com which has been running since January 2018. Yes, I know. I should get a life. I wrote all the words and also all the music. I also played it too. Go me. If you like this, there are 26 previous episodes of similar content and probably at least 26 more...

Bl**dy Butterflies & Blind Teasing the Blind

Bl**dy Butteflies explains that whilst Dolly Parton might love these particular winged insects, as I gardener, I'm not as big a fan. Blind Teasing the Blind deconstructs a joke before offering a short update on my current window covering of choice. The asterisks may be overkill but you'll love how I deal with them in the second story. Both of these come from my daily blog at www.threeflats.wordpress.com of which this podcast acts as a Best Of compilation. I would say like and subscribe but I don't know how to do that myself. I wrote and performed the music too #justsayin'
