On a bit of a holiday to Porto. The bad news for me is that it is raining here possibly even more than back home.

There’s a scene about half way through the film The Great Beauty that uses Arvo Pärt’s version and it’s so beautiful and melancholy- always makes me well up
“My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here…”

If you’re looking forward to watching the Stranger Things finale today like me, a while ago I made a dnb cover of the theme tune and it is a bit of a banger (even if I do say so myself): on.soundcloud.com/PgTR2UdIxiJV...

Happy Festivus, one and all!

May your Feats of Strength be brutal, your aluminium pole undecorated and your Airings of Grievances prolonged.

A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

Currently in Devon for a pre-Xmas getaway ☔️
two men are crying in the rain and one of them is saying `` we 've gone on holiday by mistake '' .

Just did a tiny bit of pushback against right wing authoritarian creep by voting for the board recommendations for the National Trust AGM to keep the Restore Trust loonies out. (It’s really easy to do! Just hit the quick vote button to accept the board recommendations)

Bristol skies during the Balloon Fiesta can be pretty epic! Hoping the wind blows them over my house in North Bristol at some point…
