I acted in an amateur production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia back in 2004. I can't remember who I played unfortunately (my script is hiding in a box somewhere) but I do remember that my friend Asha played Thomasina.

This is awful, and yet I somehow still enjoyed it. Whoever made this knows their Star Trek.

Anyone who tries to persuade me that Die Hard is a Christmas film is wasting their time and energy. If people want to enjoy Die Hard as a Christmas film then they can knock themselves out, but I won’t be converted. The debate on the matter makes me inordinately angry.

American politics is absolutely insane right now. It honestly feels like some kind of non-stop bonkers circus of ridiculousness.

I had to buy new Hycosan eye drops today because my eyes have been sore. I noticed as I was getting rid of the old drops that it's been a year since I last bought some, I guess something about this time of year triggers my dry eye syndrome.

I'm struggling to parse the image of the girl standing with her hands on her hips in the background of this still from Clueless. My brain thinks that I'm looking at a teenage Fenella the Kettle Witch from Chorlton and the Wheelies.

I saw a super cute baby seal being rescued at Seafield beach on my run today. Apparently she'd been abandoned by her mother and was underweight. I wasn't quick enough to get my phone out to snap a photo unfortunately.

I don't follow, and have no real interest in, football but I'm glad that Scotland are through to the World Cup because it'll make a lot of my friends happy. Also that seemed like a rather good winning goal, from my very knowledgeable perspective!

Cracking show from ABC, with Anne Dudley and The Lexicon Sinfonia, at Edinburgh's Usher Hall this evening. Lovely to hear some old favourites performed live. Martin Fry can still belt them out. Like jumping in a time machine and flying back to the 80s!
