Chose to rewatch For Your Eyes Only for James Bond Day, that is a straight up great movie and stands the test of time pretty well - and unbelievably well for a Bond film.

Today is World Lung Day. A pleasant surprise to have the @sarcoidosisuk.bsky.social charity feature my comic about being diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Please spare a thought today for those affected by the range of conditions that affect our lungs, from asthma to COPD to Sarcoidosis.
