Today seems a good day for a rom-com

I just finished this. Lovely show. The proportion of rom to com is maybe higher than I’m used to, but I enjoyed it.

I shot this at Hengistbury Head a couple of weeks ago. I find it quite relaxing

Wish it was longer really…

I’m sure these are all really good and well worth going to…..but the phrase ‘festive theatre shows’ seems to me to translate to ‘poor substitutes for panto’

I didn’t know this existed but I want to read it

One of my favourite comics has written a memoir about following my favourite team

Paul Merton on Have I Got News For You

No one is irreplaceable in show business. But we’ll keep going until the sun explodes and consumes the Earth, which will be the top story the following week.

I like it when people use the word ‘weblog’ but I often read it as something like’wedding-blog'

I’m enjoying the #Powershell tips module. I’ve already learnt a couple of things….and I’ve been using Powershell for about 103 years

It was some while before MGM was off to see a profit from the wonderful Wizard of Oz – specifically, until it was reissued in 1949. Over the Rainbow was nearly cut pre-release, because executives felt the Kansas sequence was too long.

This list has some of my very favourite films on it

Four characters from "The Wizard of Oz" stand together on the yellow brick road with the Emerald City in the background, accompanied by the movie's title.

I was half-listening to Graham Norton the other night but I missed this

In a development that absolutely must not catch on, something interesting has happened on a TV chatshow….

Redmayne’s revelation that he was shown how to use a phone as a weapon if attacked proves quite the hoot, with Mescal riffing on the absurdity – “Who’s actually going to do that, though?” – Norton chiming in, and Denzel laughing along. Ronan is trying to say something but she gets honked over, before managing to cut through with a line for the ages: “That’s what girls have to think about all the time”.

Not sure how, all of a sudden, I’m quite so old….but I’m lucky to have lasted so long

It seems to have got dreadful reviews and I’ve not seen any of the other films but I enjoyed Venom 3

I don’t think I’ve posted this before. A sketch note/map that i did a few years ago of the walk from Salisbury to Stonehenge

I saw these today, near Canary Wharf. I imagine they come to life at night, when everyone’s asleep

I can’t wait

Oh no I can’t…

If I ever meet Daniel Ek who, I believe, is “Mr Spotify” I’m obviously going to tell him off for how little he’s paying the artists.

But when I’ve finished doing that, I shall ask him if he can tweak the app so that you can click on the song title to get all the cover versions of that song

I enjoyed Play On at Salisbury Playhouse last night

It’s a jazz musical based on Twelfth Night

I should probably have looked up Twelfth Night beforehand, as I’m not great at Shakespeare, but it was good fun nevertheless

It’s on tour after it finishes at the Playhouse
