Last week one of my students asked me to name two favourite bands I had seen live that I would want to see again. I thought… I then named Duke Special and The Wannadies. Yesterday both announced gigs near me. Were they listening???

I seem to have turned the tv on recently for every Brit win in the Winter Olympics. I don’t watch much tv…
Been down the Seth Holt rabbit hole, now onto the Don Chaffey train. Two very underrated filmmakers who were troubled by the booze.
This is what happens when students are working and you have a set of pens in front of you.
When Bargain Hunt is more exciting than the Winter Olympics 😬
Cat & Dog have not let me sleep. I am so tired. Cat spent most of the night meowing to tell me he had done a poo in his litter tray! Dog has been up and down the stairs wanting to wander after the Cat and then jump all over me, presumably to tell me about the poos. Welcome to the weekend. I’m done.
Stop it with the de-ageing. Let them be the dinosaurs they are.

Currently reading the making of the greatest movie ever filmed in Malta. I love this movie.
Talking it through with my pal, we reckon that because X is such a cesspool, and you can’t ‘tweet’ anymore that we should reboot Twitter… …But call it Trotter, and the messages are called Rodneys. Also, you can only Rodney about Only Fools and Horses. Thems the rules.
My blood sugars have been all over the place this holiday, diabetes has been a drag because of it, I’ve been wheezing & coughing cos of my chronic asthma and now I’ve thrown my back out. I’ve asked to be turned into glue next, might be useful for something?
One of the Beebs current Traitors backed my mad supernatural series so of course I want them to win.
I might have found a way I want to do the feature after all. Might…
I’m currently obsessing over Czech films from the 60s and 70s. My kind of nuts.

Today has been wiped out thanks to diabetes. First time in ages since I felt like utter crap because of it.
I’ve been watching a bunch of films this December that feel like glorious magic tricks - which is what cinema should be about. I’ve also watched a bunch of shit.
Maybe I was in the wrong mood for it, but the episode of Pluribus I watched last night (could’ve been ep 5 or 6) bored the pants off me and has made me contemplate not bothering to finish it.
