A lovely day in Bath yesterday - many years since I last was there - catching up with @pamplemoussepam.bsky.social ❤️

Somehow the Wicked sequel managed to be both long & yet rushed, with some unnecessary new songs. Silly moments but not necessarily charmingly so.

I will say the chemistry between the two leadd, especially when singing "For Good" was very effective.

And my sister did get me a "Wicked" drinks hat 💚

I thought I had read this, many moons ago, and remember watching the BBC series but in a detached way.

So I am going back (?) in via audiobook.

And from that time frame, if I hadn't already guessed from the book itself on my shelf, I better get myself comfortable...

These little visitors bring me so much joy! ❤️

Just giving my childhood memories a refresh (and probably a scarring insight to the horrors Behind the Scenes) with Girlbands Forever on BBC iplayer

Watching #TheWayWeWere for the first time (I think).

Bloody hell.
This film is devastating before the opening credits even start. When she touches his hair at the bar? 🥹

At the donation centre, ready to let the NHS suck my blood 🧛‍♂️❤️🖤

In tribute, here's Dracula during his appearance on Friday (and who knows, maybe he will get my donation...)

In the light of the silvery moon, inside a former Benedictine monastery (or maybe in a galaxy far far away) we listened to live orchestra play some of the Star Wars score, A Night on the Bare Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, and Holtz' The Planets ❤️🌚

We're going to be out this evening, but I don't want the trick or treaters to miss out, so I'm going to stick this little table at the front door 😁🎃
