1 Messy week

Thanks to a two-day trip to Hamilton, two days at school and a day off with a seasonal cold (like a tap running, it was).

2 Watching: FIFA World Cup 2026

This week, it cranked up to 6 games a day for the third and final round of pool games.

3 Listening: Mike Nesmith - Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash

I managed to find a copy at a record fair in Waipukurau during the week. The inside of the gatefold cover is a bit damaged, but this has been a really hard album to find, and it was only $15. I call that a bargain.

The album's big moment was Some of Shelly's Blues.

4 Reading: Mojo Magazine #338

5 Constant companion this week: Tissue box

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Senses working overtime #214

1 A week of busy busy
No time to dwell in the interweb this week, means a week of work and fixing up the house with new furniture dominated. My senses haven't been too assaulted then. 

But, I did go to The Monkees show in the Auckland Town Hall. So my JFTT is dominated by them this week. Hey hey...

2 Daydream Believer
The Auckland crowd loved this, sang along and thought of Davy!



3 Joanne
Mike is a little frail now and not in the best of health it appears, but he fronted in Auckland and left an impression on me. Unfortunately he didn't do this song, but it remains a favourite of mine!




4 The Girl I Know Somewhere
My mate Greg (middle below) gave me his Monkees albums a while back. Recently he passed on his two Monkees singles to me as well, including this little gem.

5 The three amigos go to The Monkees!
