A treat for a chilling Wednesday evening. The suitably spooky setting of Revelations Ashford for a performance of ‘A Christmas Carol’ by the brilliant Gerald Dickens great great grandson of Charles Dickens himself. Great to catch-up with @atters1000.bsky.social

We went to see an am-dram production of Strangers on a Train last week and for some reason they seem to have used AI to write an article on ‘strangers on a train’ for the programme. Drivel in its purest form.
