Public policy advisor for the CIPD. Recovering political aide. Slovak expat - dad - runner - metal fan - movie buff. Posts reflect that.
I had a real visceral reaction to the Oval Office spectacle last night.

I am a product of the post-Cold War geopolitical order. To see it crumbling like this is filling me with utter dread.

The US has chosen. Time for the rest of us to regroup and step up.

Those who have known me for a very long time will know I've dreamt of having one of these in my own home for just about 25 years. This week that dream came true.

A lot of elbow grease and several obstacles to overcome trying to bring this antique back to life, but it's here and it works.

I got to watch three films at the weekend, for the first time in months.

Behind the Lighted Stage - a Rush documentary that is more human than most.

Longlegs - unsettling and bizarre, but mostly enjoyable.

My Old Ass - so effortlessly good that I know it will stick with me for a long time.

A good day to be outside in Aberdeenshire, for a change. Strong little legs up a slightly snowy Mither Tap.

Right, let's see how long the sky stays blue.
