I’m so glad I’m living in the time of podcasts (and YouTube too, I think). The amount of fiction and non-fiction stories I hear, that people make out of passion, in their own way, and has never had to be cleared by a commissioning manager saying ‘can we change everything about this?’

Waterloo Station has a Stranger Things Christmas Tree, which I’m pretty sure misses the point of both Stranger Things and Christmas Trees

As part of my ‘let’s get out there and experience some stuff!’ I’m going to an opera tonight, which is fine; I love opera only I’ve just checked and it’s over three hours long. Which feels excessive…

Right, that’s Weird in the Wade and Uncanny all caught up. If I listen to any more ghost stories, I’ll have nightmares, so now for one of my other passions - stories of people surviving catastrophic events, and Against All Odds

Well, the Old Jim episode of #Uncanny is terrifying (stealing someone else’s voice huh? That sounds familiar…)
This does sound like the kind of area I used to live in - I lived in a town but there are so many tiny remote villages in the area

And now to finally to catch up on #uncanny - I haven’t listened to any of the new series since the first episode - I’m looking forward to this. (Especially the roads one, Road ghost stories fascinate me, why haven’t I written one?)

I love creating my podcast, and sinking into the story I’ve created, but I’ve been so deeply engrossed in it the past few months I’ve been barely aware of the world outside. It’s a bit of a relief to look up and see all the other stories out there, waiting for me to pay attention

I’ve bought myself some tiny little earbuds that are small enough to fit into my pocket so I can take them everywhere and at any point, sit down and listen to a podcast. Although the idea of playing some of the most terrifying listens out loud on the train is wickedly tempting…

I’m having a podcast catch up weekend. I’ve been working so hard on my own (the finale is almost an hour long!) that I am sadly behind on all the podcasts I love so catching up. Finally. Starting with Weird in the Wade.

And speaking of @weirdinthewade.bsky.social - I’m just listening to her fantastic episode The Potton Road Poltergeist and I just screamed in the middle of this coffee shop

The Rue Papers will return for a third and final series next year…
(Or at least - final in this form. I suspect Beatrice won’t let me go that easily…)
And between now and then - I may publish a few text stories and short audio stories on the Patreon; as the whim takes me…

Ooh, hell of an ending to the latest Pluribus, I am enjoying this very much. Carol Sturka is a magnificently angry heroine, I love her.

Love visiting the library on a winter evening. The dark cold outside - the warm cosiness inside (don’t think about the basement). The shelves of books on all sorts of things (ghost stories, where are the ghost stories) the soft voices of people choosing their weekend (whispers from the basement)

At the BFI to watch A Cottage in Dartmoor, a silent movie directed by Anthony Asquith with live piano accompaniment.
Again, I know nothing about the story and I am heroically restraining myself from reading the notes beforehand so I’m not spoiled. I just liked the title…

I’m at the opera! Seeing The Makropulos Case by Janacek. All I know is it’s about a woman who lives forever. I don’t often see operas I know nothing about, so very excited

I have a habit of going to look at modern art installations that are supposed to be unsettling and finding them comforting. Like Babel. In Tate Britain yesterday, saw Mona Hatoum’s Current Disturbance, a box of lightbulbs that go on and off randomly, with the noise of electric current. It’s

This coffee shop is playing a very slow strings version of Last Christmas. Three thoughts - it really is a beautiful piece of music. It also is very clearly 80s music any way it’s played. And does this mean I lose Last Christmas before November is even over?

Also went back to the Lee Miller exhibition. Interesting that her pre-war photos - the surrealism, the travel photos - feel like she’s trying to escape, to look beyond horizon, but all her war stories, both fashion and documentary, feel fully present, like she’s engaging and recording that moment

What is it about toothbrush adverts that mean they are always really patronising? And toothpaste ones intensely annoying. Is it me? It’s just me isn’t it. For some reason highly irritated by all dental products advert

The Marie Antoinette exhibition at V and A is fascinating and beautiful but really packed, so difficult to see anything. Includes the rumoured guillotine blade which seems odd for a celebration of her style but also some truly gorgeous dresses (not all hers)
