One day I'll figure out how to write a decent bio...
Pinned
I've decided I'm going to try and watch 100 new movies this year. No actual pressure to do it, just want to try and watch new movies over old ones when I have a chance!
Just to be clear, I mean new to me, not released this year.

I am here to take your photos and make you feel good
Doing the rounds and updating my profile pic. This is a big deal for me; putting myself out there again. I’ve been down about my appearance and weight gain. In stills and video, @defydesigns.bsky.social has made me feel more relaxed about such things. I am grateful. This is who I am. Deal with it.

Just discovered that Dragon's Den has 22 seasons and it is nearly 12 days of non stop TV!

Colouring artwork is hard when you haven't thought about colour and illustration from about 15 years!

I'm mega proud of this. The amount of work that went into it should be apparent, but that doesn't change anything.

Just went for a walk for an hour because I've not left the house yet today and I'd like to eat some more chocolate.

Went for a bike ride this morning and really enjoyed it. I've not done either of those things in ages.
I'm off work now and hoping for pleasant weather to have a few weeks of activity and eating everything.

I was today years old when I found out that Royal Mail will automatically read the postcode and number of your parcel and deliver based on these two things alone.
Thanks to an old postcode on a site account....my package is at a random house in splott near somewhere I haven't lived since 2011.

I'm in Nottingham for the first time in 7 years. Last time I was here, I was doing an iron man, this time I'm playing a gig.
I can't explain how different these two versions of m3 are. That event cost me a part of my soul. Hopefully tonight is a little easier.
I want to come back and race again.

I'm 44 years old. I have 4 kinds of modelling clay and no blutac. I have 14 guitars and no blutac. I own 7 cameras but no blutac.
I guess I'm buying some blutac for a 20 second social media post.

I always knew Lonnie Donegan was great. He is a direct line of inspiration to most every British band since the 50s. This is long after his skiffle peaks and he is absolutely cooking!
There is something to be said for great artists finding a new peak in their 40s and 50s.

Watched Predator Badlands last night and has resulted in several heated debates about me calling it a solid 5/10. Some people have taken this as awful, when I mean it as thoroughly average. It's the number in the middle of the scale! When did calling something a 7/10 become average?

I'm just about to go take photos for an 80s portrait style Christmas card. One man and his cats. I'm surprisingly excited about it.

I've been digging through the @dropkickmurphys.com catalogue because the new album is great. Going back to the old ones really makes me miss Al Barr on their songs and I find it even weirder that there are songs credited as featuring Al Barr on the new album. I guess he isn't coming back now.

The most Sunday in November activity is cleaning the house and throwing a load of stuff out, knowing full well all that clean up effort and space will be lost in 6 weeks time.
