The first song you’d put on a mixtape to a crush (it’s also the last song I’d be able to listen to after a break up)

For some reason I couldn’t find a cinema showing “it was just an accident” in an evening slot. Tossed a coin between “Pillion”
& “Eternity” - eternity it is with a glass of red wine. Not sure a romcom will improve my mood but here we are…

Time to start working through my 2025 playlist - songs I have heard and liked (doesn’t have to be new). This morning I was enjoying “Dreamwalker” by Sorry Girls. Quite 80’s and I enjoyed (doing this usually results in me buying too many albums) music.apple.com/gb/album/dre...

There’s a definite Gary Oldman / Churchill on the tube moment * 100 in Nuremberg - but I still enjoyed it. Michael Shannon dependably good but lots of other good performances (Richard E Grant also very good) and Russell Crowe does the trick of making a monster three dimensional

Business does not appear to be good for Wicked (at least in this showing at this cinema). All of 5 people. Still I have coffee, milky bar buttons and a good seat
