ASTONISHER No.51:  ♫ Bad Penny Blues was an unlikely jazz hit single in the UK and Humphrey Littleton's only chart success.  He didn't like the very up front piano which was the post production of unlikely engineer on the session Joe Meek.

Anorak Alert No.38:  On Dodgy David Dickinson's Real Deal throughout a transaction both the punter and dealer referred to a concertina as an accordion. ♫

#FollowFriday ain't too proud to beg eh?

Dr Nearthecoast is in and listening but at this difficult time only consulting via email at doctorntc@nearthecoast.com

Surprisingly shortly after yesterday's digest emailed out it had been more viewed in the USA than the UK ... well this is Suffolk ...

Anorak Alert No.37:  The blurb write on the back of this Maigret DVD seems to think the iconic French detective was Belgian, perhaps they're confusing him with Poirot or that author George Simenon was a Belgian.

SRN Nearthecoast is in, fiddling with her tick list, pen and prescribing guidelines, hoping there'll be enough PPE but still listening (apparently) at ntc@nearthecoast.com or text 07970 865730

The clocks have gone back.

Recent(ish) house sales around near the coast.

We've always l♥ved Elvira Mistress of the Dark's tasteful productions.

L♥VE this, geographically not near the coast but we've had looks exactly like it.

We have over 5,000 stock images  available on Alamy. 

In a probably futile attempt to control our continuingly sprawling Facebook albums we've merged Bury Saints 2017-2016.

Friend of nearthecoast Peter Brockett has a four year old Microsoft Surface and it's incompatible with Windows 11.  Gratifyingly he agrees with us and Tom's Guide, wait and see.

Throwback Thursday: 14 years ago today a pleasant sunny day in Aldeburgh with a display of Minis near the Moot Hall and petanqe/boule being played outside the White Lion.

Life Skills 39:  We're clearly a bit slow, we couldn't see how useful emergency equipment like a defibrillator is when it's locked behind a number pad.  What you do is dial 999 to get the code, though in our defence some cases don't make this clear.

The temporary traffic lights have now been in Fairfield Road Framlingham for eight months.  Mind you they've got a ways to go to catch up with the nearby BT hole in the ground that was there for at least four years before finally evaporating.

Man in the Hat (not this one) is bravely crossing into Norfolk tomorrow to play The Cellar House Eaton and returns to his home town next month.  In the meantime he his accepting bookings for 2022 so you can experience his impressive chest voice and has even found time to continue his support for us. ♫

Very pleased Darren Smith who sells fish exotic and otherwise Tuesdays and Saturdays on Framlingham market continues to support us.  He gets lots of clicky click on his link in our fortnightly(ish) digest.  Supporting us explained here.
