Tonight I attempted to watch Havoc. I do not recommend that to anyone else. Ever. Unless you’re a fan of the Batley Townswomen’s Guild productions.

I hope he's never phoned Moe's Tavern...

Woohoo! Just found a tick on me. I ‘think’ it fell from clothing onto me, but… *pinches bridge of nose*

Creeping closer to daffodil totality. A few stubborn holdouts left.

When you want the feeling of taking a shit in a kitchen.

Mother called. Then wanted to video chat, so she could show me her garden. So, I told her how to do that. That was all fine. Then she asked how to turn on speakerphone, so I explained, but could see the reflection of the phone screen in her glasses so could clearly see her not-doing what I said.

Looking at the vague specs for the upcoming Bond 4K releases. Have they delved into the vast archives? Spruced up the docs? Made new docs? I'd just like 'making of' extras that don't look like late 80s wedding videos.

"We didn't know what you wanted, so we got you vouchers"

Technically good. Technically not-good. This really isn't how film posters work. Especially not when you're bastardising the original artwork too. Cramped and everyone competing for dominance. Above water. Below water. On the level of the water. Title too small. What an odd thing, all told.

Me, after the final whistle in a West Ham game…

Sure, the squirrels and deer are eating the buds at the same rate that they’re opening, but I do love magnolia season. This is the first, but the others aren’t a million miles behind…

As its been a Quatermassy morning for my wallet so far, I'm now going to peer through my fingers at how much the Hammer 4K restoration of Xperiment is going to cost to get to these shores...

The system very very occasionally works...

You know the drill: Something something feeling alright? Something something barely touched your...

Still not warm enough to work outside... *adopts Mother's voice* "It's a north easterly wind, and it's bitter". It is though. And I mean my mother. Not the computer from Alien. It'd be weird if that were dispensing weather updates from Somerset.

When I saw this caption in Andor I only thought of one thing.

Trying to buy some linen trousers for the summer. No matter where I go, every store is overrun with fast fashion dreck. All with their toes dipped fully into the sludge of nasty crap. I don't want to buy a pair from Bukkakemangoparrot, LifeplankyXX or Gothicfunnyuncle.

When I'm deported I hope the news outlets go with 'Man who repeatedly called the President 'a stupid orange cunt'...'

Absolutely not the fault of the publishers, and totally the fault of international mailing prices which are utterly unhinged these days - but it's just cost me $65 to buy a paperback from the UK. *pained look to camera*

"Darling, there's an Italian plumber at the door with an outrageous accent. He says he's here to do the drywall in the new extension. Do you know anything about this?"

Clicking 'keep me signed in' and 'trust this browser' on iCloud with all the confidence that it'll do those things as a parent asking a toddler not to bang cutlery on the table.

I've taken the briefest of looks at 'the papers'. Had a little scream. Done some breathing exercises to calm down. Now to try and not think about any of it for another entire day living in dumb-Nazi land, where Republican voters think Richard Wagner was the guy from Heart to Heart.
