We talked Robert Shearman of "Dalek" and "Chimes of Midnight" fame into interviewing me for my "Leap of Eighth" book panel at the Long Island Doctor Who convention in August. He's always a good time, that oughta be a hoot! #DoctorWho #8thDoctor @lidoctorwhocon.bsky.social

Three hand made ceramic dishes. All glazed in earth tones.

As a "mature" professional up-skilling w/a Journalism MA course it's in some ways hilarious to be undertaking work experience, but quite enlightening to see how different UK media outfits operate. Last week I learned a lot seeing how Global Radio's regional newsroom in Bristol gets things done

Black Box was the musical highlight of Bristol Pridefest for me. I actually didn't even know I knew them until they dropped "Everybody Everybody". That singer has amazing stage presence and the crowd did indeed "dance dance dance dance" #HouseMusic #techno

A four piece band on a big outdoor stage with a Bristol Pride banner behind. The lead singer is a badass black woman in a sparkly hot pink jumpsuit. The three backing members are white men on congas, guitar and decks.

I willy-nilly started watching random seasons of Taskmaster during lockdown and now that I've watched... ten?... of them and am trying to start another one, I'm cursing previous me for not watching in order. Or at least keeping a spreadsheet.
