Trip to the cinema to see Sinners. The racial politics of vampires: discuss. Could have done with a script editor but it was cracking fun, music editing was fantastic and of course marvellous costume design.

Two men cling to each other in terror as sun rises. They’ve got blood on them and one has wounds on his face.

I endorse this message (it may actually reduce driving because people would feel like they had more control on foot/on a bike)

I saw it! Awful thing is I wasn’t even surprised!

Verdi’s Requiem in York Minster courtesy of York Music Society. Absolutely fantastic performance in stunning surroundings. The sound from the choir filled the whole enormous space. No photos I’m afraid.

The Salt Path. Our household is a bit in love with both Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Beautifully shot story of a couple who lose everything and find themselves homeless and set out to walk the South West Coast Path. Anderson in particular is amazing - resigned, heartbroken, determined.

Film promo poster. Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs sit at the top of a grass covered cliff. The sea is in the background and the sky is blue. She has long reddish hair and is wearing shirt, shorts and walking boots. He has grey hair and a beard and is wearing a shirt and rolled up trousers. Both are gazing into the distance but in different directions.

Bank holiday cinema trip to see The Phoenician Scheme. Extremely Wes Anderson film by Wes Anderson. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Help yourself to a hand grenade.

Still from the film. Benicio Del Toro is wearing a suit and a bloodstained arm sling. He has cuts on his face. Mia Threapleton is wearing a nun’s habit, blue eyeshadow and red lipstick and has grazes on her face. Behind them is a crashed aeroplane in the jungle.

Bit of a backlog. Trip in May to the Harold Pinter Theatre to see Giant. Really enjoyed this exploration of when criticism of Israel becomes anti-semitism. Thanks to @naomialderman.bsky.social for posting about it’s return as I’d missed the first run.

Still from play publicity shows John Lithgow as Roald Dahl. He is a balding man wearing a red jumper. He is sat at a desk holding a pencil and has books and notebooks on the table in front of him.

If there’s a strategy, you’re a social media manager and not a poster

That’s another reason for using fibrinogen concentrate then!

Blood product management is different. Early use of cryo/fib concentrate vs 1:1:1. Less (no?) role for FFP in obs

Your greater feeling of familiarity in one area should not demean it as a subspecialty

Chloe Fairbairns @gasboardchloe.bsky.social · May 24

Oh and the management of massive haemorrhage in trauma is not the same as in obstetrics so I’m not sure that comparison flies

Chloe Fairbairns @gasboardchloe.bsky.social · May 24

I’m immensely amused at your stance that obstetrics isn’t special but paeds is. I was trained to do paeds as well.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Another bank holiday weekend trip to the cinema, this time to see Alex Garland/Ray Mendoza’s Warfare. Considering it is told entirely from the point of view of the soldiers I felt it very successfully conveyed the utter disastrous folly of the second Iraq war. Very gory (accurately so).

Film poster for Warfare. A group of soldiers wearing body armour and combat fatigues emerge from the courtyard of a residential building. They’re all carrying large guns and aiming them in different directions. The sky is grey-brown and full of smoke.

Trip to York on a gloriously sunny day to see Gary Oldman in Krapp’s Last Tape. Beckett plays are not exactly cheery are they? Also the A19 is full of absolute arsehole drivers.

A scruffy older man examines an old reel of tape. He is seated at a desk with a reel to reel tape recorder in front of him. Around him and the seat are piles of junk.

Another trip to Middlesbrough Town Hall for a farewell concert - musical director John Forsyth has retired. Cleveland Philharmonic Choir for Ritter’s Magnificat, Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music and Mozart’s Requiem. Brilliant night with fantastic performances.

John Forsyth receives thanks and applause after conducting orchestra and choir.

We know. That’s why we live off takeaways.
