Common

One of Sheffield's most famous sons is Jarvis Cocker. He was the frontman of the band Pulp that achieved enormous success in the mid nineteen nineties.

As I drove along Ecclesall Road yesterday afternoon, I noticed a new piece of street art near the shopping centre known as Berkeley Precinct. Tonight, as I was visiting the local "Tesco" to pick up a few things, I nipped round the corner to take the picture shown above.

Of course one of Pulp's most famous anthems was "Common People"  which is what the mural is referencing. It was an unusual and clever song that tried to say something meaningful about ordinary urban lives as many of Jarvis's self-penned lyrics did:-

You wanna live like common people

You wanna see whatever common people see

Wanna sleep with common people

You wanna sleep with common people

Like me

But she didn't understand

She just smiled and held my hand

List of goodness

 With all the sadness and uncertainty in the world tell me your list of good things. 

Found a new flavor of ice cream

Got a haircut

Reading a new book

Cockerel On Time

 

Where has the day gone? 

It’s 6.30 and the bantam rooster has just tapped on the window for his supper.

I’m not going to choir

It’s been cancelled again 

More covid.

Sigh.

Greg, my little bathroom man came this morning and has arranged to start work, the week after next .

His quote is well under what I expected 

His electrician will repair the faulty cooker extractor fan too.

We talked a lot about dogs.

He also suggested that I book a skip.

I went to see our work counsellor this afternoon. 

She will support my counselling course and will supervise me in practice 

Everything seems to be slipping into place
