Plans for the weekend? Sunday looks the better bet for most of us!

“Pretentious… moi?”

One still. One punchline. One of many unforgettable Fawlty Towers moments. Medallion man Mr Johnson flirting with Sybil.

Farewell, Prunella Scales. One of the shining stars of sitcom.

⏰ The clocks go back this weekend… which means it’s 10 years since this live televisual cock-up. Feel free to have a laugh at my expense…

So sad to say goodbye to Dave Ball. A pioneer of electronic music - alongside Marc Almond in Soft Cell, then later with The Grid.

Edgy, experimental and catchy as anything. Thanks for some of the most perfect 80s pop and 90s dance anthems.

🎙 When live TV goes wrong... had a few texts about this! The microphone dropped inside my outfit and I had to grab the emergency mic.

What you don’t see - but do hear - is presenter @jenniferjoneswales.bsky.social running across studio to pass the stick mic, like a baton-relay champion. What a pro!

That moment when people start standing up at a gig… but those behind you are still sitting down… then Neil Hannon invites everyone to come on down!

Marvellous concert from the Divine Comedy in Swansea. Very impressed by the new(ish!) arena too!

Plans for the weekend?

There’s a good excuse for a lie in on Sunday…

☁️ Dull, grey, overcast? It’s a good week to drop the phrase ‘anticyclonic gloom’ into conversation. Here’s the science bit…

Morning. A quiet, settled, predictable week to come… weather-wise, anyway!

A moving night watching Edwyn Collins say goodbye to fans in Manchester, on his farewell tour.

Edwyn’s performance, resilience and humour was incredible, despite suffering a stroke 20 years ago. So much love at the Albert Hall for one of our alternative national treasures.

Thanks for the lovely messages, folks! Big fan of #CardiffHalf… great to see brilliant banners and so much support en route.

Testing out your dancing legs after running 13.1 miles might not be the best recovery plan… but a great Simply Red 40th anniversary gig in town tonight!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Twenty years since my first Cardiff half… ten years since my fastest… probably set for my slowest today!

🏃🏾‍♂️ But still love the challenge, superb support, landmarks en route, and the buzz it brings to our city. Pob lwc pawb. Let's do this!

🏃🏾‍♂️Weather-watching for Cardiff Half Marathon? Me too!

Here’s the latest forecast. Looks like the worst of Storm Amy will have cleared, to leave a better but blustery day on Sunday.

🐈 Love this story. Theatre-loving Fizz named UK's cat of the year… I can vouch that he’s the cheekiest too!

Was at an event with Kaleb Cooper in Llandrindod Wells at the Albert Hall. Guess which cheeky ginger strolled onstage and stole the show*?! 🐈

🍁 It's the autumn equinox... and feeling more like it, after a cold start with patchy frost.

☀️ The brighter, chillier side of autumn to come this week. A welcome change after the wet start to September.

Sitting at the mixing desk where Queen, Oasis, The Cure, Manics, Weller, Coldplay… and so many more have been before!

Watching my pal Matt Butler, host a production masterclass for the Abbey Road Institute, at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire.

A mecca for music fans!

Outdoor plans for the weekend?

Make ‘em for Sunday if you can… very wet and windy across much of Wales on Saturday.

Sue Charles @suecharles.bsky.social · Sep 17

⚠️ A wet and windy Wednesday, after this weather system brought further rain and strong winds.

☔️ Parts of Wales have now seen more rain in September so far, than through the whole of summer.

One to watch for the weekend. Turning very wet and windy on Sunday.

It’s possible this low pressure system could end up being our first named storm of the season…
