Images like this are wondrous. How nonsensical our little concerns will be in the end. It’s comforting in a way.

Watching #vitalityblast #T20 #cricket. Tense last few minutes btwn Notts Outlaws and Yorkshire. The local county feeds are excellent and occasionally delightfully quixotic. The production values of the YouTube live feeds are also first tier (not watching on Sky as I am a frugal jerk, lol).

I can’t believe I missed this film first time round. ‘The Creator’ is beautiful, original, discomforting, and thought provoking. Extraordinary sci-fi. Extraordinary writing & production. I rarely post but when I do, believe me, it’s because something is incredible…and this movie is incredible. Wow.

Watched the Brazilian movie ‘Carlinhos e Carlão’ (aka ‘Macho Man’). A perfect performance by Luis Lobianco as an unhappy troglodyte literally forced into and then out of the closet to turn into a fun and loved alter ego after 7pm. Funny, sweet, and full of redemption…10/10 would recommend!

Consternation…

Oh, this is so pretty!

Conclave. Superb movie. 10/10

A minimalistic piece for moon lovers. Not my usual style, but this is what resonated with me this Monday. Sometimes, simplicity speaks the loudest. Hope it brings a little wonder to your day...

Listening to Sting’s 1999 album ‘Brand New Day’ after a couple of years. So good. Every song is a perfect mood. He’s the ultimate musical artist.

Six Nations Rugby France v Scotland…I can’t believe Mauvaka got away without a red. If an intentional off the ball headbutt on a player who is on the ground isn’t a red then what is? 😑 ugh

Now this is decency. So proud of Starmer who is rising to the occasion after the loathsome last few days. Brave and exhausted Zelensky lighting up at the warmth of the PM’s greeting was wonderful. Great pic by Reuters.

How lovely…

Hilarious, sweet, razor-sharp clever, and bizarre. ‘Mandy’ is awesome. Diane Morgan - as always - is incredibly talented and funny. Mandy’s friendship with Lola (the amazing Michelle Greenidge who was in the latest Death in Paradise, I think) is lovely. So good.

“We are the scatterlings of Africa, both you and I…” One of the greatest albums ever by Juluka back in the early 80’s. We dreamed then of a better world. A brotherhood of Mankind. Nothing is impossible.

Diversity was God’s idea.

Beautiful. Reminiscent of Sydney Nolan’s ‘Central Australia’ which was also painted in 1950. I wonder if the two artists overlapped somehow?

Motherland…. Apollo 17’s original Blue Marble.

Rewatching Star Trek Voyager for the umpteenth time. Perfection. Ahh…to be part of Captain Janeway’s crew!

Oh my goodness! I’ve been looking for the artist’s name for a while. Aida Muluneh…I love love her work. 🙏🏿
