The new Gaga album is so 80s. Obsessed.

Good morning, please have this incredibly jaunty London Underground tourism poster from 1915.

Should we do a little key? Should we have Turkish Delight?

I love those social media posts like "you won't believe this hidden gem is in London" and it's the Natural History Museum.

My favourite Dickens quote

I'm running out of storage on my phone, so I've been trying to clear out videos I've taken over the years. Turns out I've taken a lot of videos of geese I've seen while out on my little walks 🪿

What an imaginative name.

Songs that are - on paper - quite desperately sad, but are absolute bangers nonetheless are some of my favourite songs, so I am loving Patrick Wolf's new one. open.spotify.com/track/679Exr...

I went to see The Brutalist yesterday at the Barbican and three and a half hours later (plus intermission) I was very glad they opted not to make the cinema seats out of concrete too.

I've mostly been hibernating this month, but came blinking into the light to see two shows in two nights this week; Witness for the Prosecution and Operation Mincemeat.

There are too many things I want to see in the theatre this year and yet nowhere near enough money in my bank account. Someone who understands the economy please help me budget this.

Absolutely love this album on first listen.

The original Laura Dern stan

I signed up for my local GP and I'm thrilled to discover that rather than having to call up at 7:45am for an appointment, I have to use an app (at 7:45am) for an appointment, but only if I tick some boxes first agreeing that I'm cool with them accidentally breaking horrible news to me via said app.

Firing up Streetfighter, Soul calibur or Mortal Kombat.

I've just read a completely unsubstantiated rumour that the UK is sending Franz Ferdinand as our Eurovision entry. It's worth a shot. It'll be a hit in Sarajevo.

My favourite gen 1/2/3/4 Pokémon.

This is a pretty stellar pop song: open.spotify.com/track/2OlFA7...

Made my first trip of 2025 to see Nosferatu last night. A really eerie and suspenseful film, I thought, with fantastic cinematography and performances from the central cast.
