I see we've turned the dial from "No Rain" to "All The Rain"

Rain! Twice in one day! (For about 10 seconds each time, but still)
Having thoroughly enjoyed Death at the White Hart last year, I've been looking forward to The Parkwood Murders and it does not disappoint! A cracking little mystery that had me second-guessing myself all the way to the denouement.
A body in the pool complex, a holiday village locked down over the summer solstice, as DS Nicola Bridge and DC Harry Ward must deal with hundreds of potential suspects among guests and staff alike… #TheParkwoodMurders is out on 16 July. Preorder here: www.waterstones.com/book/the-par...

I was talking to a friend about the new Nolan film. He said he'd heard it was a bit Od, I said Y Ssesy.
GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
When I mistype something I'll occasionally mutter "It was the blurst of times" to myself
What’s an obscure Simpsons quotes that’s ended up in your day to day arsenal? Whenever anything’s slightly inconvenient I find myself saying “Bob Dole don’t need that”
Shout-out to the toddler having a meltdown that's having to be restrained by his mother at Temple Meads because she won't let him run across the tracks to get a closer look at a train.
Just seen The Furious at the cinema. Now that's a film that does not let up the pace, wonderful stuff. Highly recommended if there's somewhere near you showing it (like @wshed.bsky.social here in Bristol)
Ah, that's what it feels like to be outside and not feel like you have to wade through the air. I remember now...
A change in the UK political landscape, you say? Maybe it's time to revisit what could have been from @backpagepod.bsky.social...
Should they still be called Little Trees when there is only one in the pack?
Maybe it is time I listened to everyone who said how much they enjoyed Dragon's Dogma 2...
Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself
One of Anthony Head's lesser-known roles was a guest role on the BBC Radio comedy Cabin Pressure, where he played smooth-talking airline pilot Hercules Shipwright. I highly recommend checking out this show. Here's a clip from the episode "Rotterdam". youtu.be/pvNtxmcqyFc
Oh, Anthony Head. That one stings. So many performances to choose from but for me it has to be Cabin Pressure. I may have to dig the CD out
God, Sock Tent is really watchable. @aiannucci.bsky.social and the gang are clearly seasoned pros by this point. #Taskmaster
Slightly disappointed in the lack of newts, but otherwise a good set to choose from here
Party Season last night and the first two of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Summer Festival this afternoon. Definitely the weather to be inside a (cool) theatre watching great plays
Idea: Greggs, but all the food is on one of those sushi conveyor belt machines
Well, it's new Dark Pictures day so if anyone needs me I'll be in a poorly lit room playing that
I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.
I've finished two new games that look at the intersection of technology and the impact of climate change over the next 30 years. Not a similarity I was expecting from the names Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss and Aphelion, but there you are
Yes, because who doesn't want ketchup that tastes like it's had a pickle left floating in it...
