I'm not all choirs and orchestras. Have an absolutely tremendous Welsh wall of noise. Saw them in Brussels, Ritzy was leaning right over the crowd with her guitar. Tremendous stuff. youtu.be/9kNQeDlgBoc?...

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... This is very well done but I’ll add that he was one of the few actors in history who never lied on camera There was a complete authenticity to his performances that is unparalleled He simply is An achievement that is Herculean on a set Tender Mercies is ❤️

Pan fried asparagus, smoked salmon, homemade vinegrette and a fried duck egg.

After my favourite wooden spoon* broke, I tired out several replacements. You know what my preference is? This, 50p from IKEA. *Come on, everyone has a favourite spoon/stirer. Don't they?

I really don't think you can understate Fessenden's impact on genre filmmaking. Be it as writer/director or producer, he's involved in some amazing work. And if a film features him in a cameo, it's an added bonus.

EXT: Day. The grave of Noel Edmonds. A figure lies face down in the freshly dug soil, sobbing inconsolably. CAPTION: GREYFRIARS BLOBBY.

I often say that if you often find you're the smartest person in the room, it's because nobody actually clever wants to be in the same room as you.

What I’m seeing in some of the Epstein revelations about well known scientists who maintained contact after his conviction, is folks who always thought they were the smartest person in any room, sure they could shrewdly navigate a route that gets them what they want without getting dirty themselves.

Sudden drama in the sky after a grey day.

"Have you taken your break?" #smallprophets

I opened the back door as he was asking to go out and Bert just physically recoiled when he saw outside. In case anyone was wondering what the weather's like.

Having the biscotti smothered in Gorgonzola and with a glass of sherry.

If you have spare 2 minutes 43 seconds, here's the Simon Bolivar Orchestra somehow managing to dance on stage while playing Bernstein. It's a thing of great joy. music.youtube.com/watch?v=NYvE...

Made some savory biscotti. May have a couple with some some cheese.

Gorillaz are back so time to resurrect the greatest of all music tweets. We're all out here tryna be The Quietus and she just walks up and zeroes in on the essence.

Crumpets, black pudding and a fried duck egg. Nice.

Had coffee in my excellent @theednawatkins.bsky.social mug.

Lovely stuff.

Every year @theblueststar.bsky.social gives me a horror film themed Valentine's Day card. She's excelled herself this year.

Who's just been to the groomers? (Hint: it wasn't me)

The sky is a weird, non-grey colour. What's going on?
