Hello! I'll be speaking about Roman Britain at Southwark Cathedral on July 19th. It's a fun talk aimed at kids & families, but adults might learn stuff too! And there are other fab historians on after me, so come for the day! cathedral.southwark.anglican.org/visiting/sou...

For anyone unfamiliar with Big Mouth - a little taster. πŸ˜‚ They do love a musical number!

I wonder how long it'll be before shows like Big Mouth are labelled as 'porn' or whatever because they talk about sex & LGBTQ+ relationships. *sigh* 😠

Need to work out must visits list for expo. Who has cool new small press RPGs I need to look at?

I know it's a weird & crude show, but I like Big Mouth. It's unapologetic about showing messy relationships can be & both how wonderful & terrible people can be. All the characters are very different to each other, with broad spectrum of interests too. Also-female hormone monsters are brilliant! 🀣🀣

Recklessly having caffeine after almost falling asleep on way home, so I can be awake to eat dinner. Watching some old Big Mouth eps to remember what had happened just before new series.

Made more progress than I thought I would tonight given delays to starting & weird worry about some of the cross stitches.

There's someone pretending to be me --if you could report and block, that would be great.

I have decided my cross stitches tonight aren't too fat! πŸ€”

Also beautiful drag queens on my tv that can probably slide their slim calves into boots I can only dream of! πŸ˜•

Trying to decide if the measly number of stitches I've added to my lighthouse sampler look fatter than the others! 🀨

*sigh* And I thought the trains were a mess this morning! πŸ˜‘

Completed! #crossstitch

Got this far with cross stitch last night. Lighthouse is done except for some plants at the base. Not bad progress over 2 evenings.

So far am enjoying Mrs Maisel. Getting further with the lighthouse on my cross stitch sampler.

Trying an ep...maybe more of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. And picking sewing back up.

Well that film was ridiculous. Calling it a B movie seems rude to B movies. Worth a watch if you like ludicrous old horror films with wafer thin plots.

The tip of the iceberg. No. Just no. Do the right thing ScotRail. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Expert being interviewed by 50's cop couldn't be anyore suspicious if he was stood holding a large knife covered in blood. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I'm not saying he did anything, but he is definitely acting like he has a cellar full of bodies!

Another way to put this: Nick Clegg admits AI industry is built on theft

Oh, the glamour.

Woman "How is he?" Doctor "He's organically sound..." WTF - since when did regular local doctors talk about their patient's 'organic' state!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Jonathan is convinced there's an ancient curse. He's on his own. Someone has already died though & his head stolen, so what do they know! Of course it could be some weirdo behind it all! Or a curse.

Hearing came back today, so films are an option again!

Watching a film I stumbled across called The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake. No idea what it'll be like - could be great, could be terrible! πŸ˜†

Hypothetically - if I had the right streaming service or whatever, should I watch Succession?

Very glad subtitles are a thing.

Not done much today, as head is full of cotton wool. Can't hear properly, barely anything in 1 ear. Balance is shot. Stupid sinuses. 🀨

I see there's a 'post a character who looks good wet' thing going about & it would be weird for me to to post a pic given comments I've made. Not the best pic to illustrate or the one I was thinking of, but I'm tired & need to sleep!

Got distracted & kept watching Lower Decks & stitching. Ooops!

Going to start s5 of Lower Decks. Not sure how far I'll get before I need to pause for the night.

The colour has helped.
