More beautiful weather here, gang, although the heat wave has also begun. However, I have plenty of fans — including that great new ceiling fan in my kitchen.

AND — tomorrow, a handy man is coming to replace the ceiling fan in my family room.

AND– well, this has nothing to do with the heatwave, but those guys from the County are installing my new front door today! I’ll be sad to see the old one go, because it is 123 years old and I love the history of it. But, to be honest, it doesn’t open and hasn’t opened for decades and there are not even any keys that fit the extremely old iron lock. So it will be nice to be able to walk in and out of my front door if I so choose!!

Okay. This was posted on Tom Petty’s Instagram page yesterday for Father’s Day and I just loved it — it’s such a candid shot of Tom and his granddaughter, and I love the fact that his guitar is on the bed, along with the TV remote.

In other news!!

Nick Cave’s Solo Tour 2024 continues in Serbia tomorrow, and then, the following week, he has several dates in Finland and then Iceland but alas!!! ALL shows are sold out.

And he also sent out another Red Hand File yesterday, wherein he explained what his new song, “Frogs,” is all about!

Oddly, it turns out that it’s yet another love song for his wife, but this time it’s biblical!!

“In Frogs, a couple (most likely my wife and me) walk through the rain on a Sunday morning. An alert listener will deduce that they are walking home from church because bells are ringing, and a reading from the Bible, the story of Cain and Abel, is still rolling around in their heads.

Ushering in the week, he knelt down

And crushed his brother’s head in with a bone…”

You can read it in full HERE.

And listen to the song here!

Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.
