Brum-ed it today with two very old friends (the best of people). I always find some architectural mish-mash to get over-excited about up there. 🩵

Still pondering all the excellent music and sonic experiences from Line Up last night… Loved all of it (super well done for organising and staying sane[ish] @allownstunts 🙌 ). Ayu Okakita was a lot of fun - she’s playing at The Library, Oxford 3/11 if anyone is interested and local.

Oh dear. I really thought it was Cyndi Lauper, Time After Time, but turns out that was my second and the first was actually this… 🙃

Still haven’t braved the Gucci thing, but love Adam Driver. And you know when you accidentally choose the right film for the prevailing mood… 💫

Saw this on the school run this morning in our local butcher’s window (somewhat amusing as a vegan 🙃) and got a bit over-excited - big nerdy Klapisch fans here! We love how he films and scores = 👌 Eldest (poorly 😔) and I cwtched up and watched it this pm - really good in a gentle, French way… 💫

At the softer end (maybe as a come down?!) I grew up with, and still love, this one. (My party trick is slightly wrong-footing later middle-aged men by being able to spot it at a thousand paces… 😆)

I lost control of our garden at some point during lockdown. The bonus is: lots of birds and insects, and blackberries for crumble. So not all bad…
This one has orange zest & juice, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, oats, & dark brown muscovado sugar in. We take our crumble seriously round these parts…

Walking back from the pub for 17yo’s birthday tea, we remembered the moment before it all went wrong 4 1/2 years ago… Human pincushion doesn’t even begin to cover it. Still, it was very pretty last night and we’d had some good chips so hopefully that helped rewire a little… :)

Lido; or maybe lidon’t next time if the boiler’s broken and temps are frozzz… Still, some of the most warming and hilarious early-morning swim conversations I’ve had for a while 🙃 🥶
