It’s the 32nd anniversary today of one of the greatest chase sequences in the whole history of the motion picture, which means it’s also the anniversary of the single greatest sound effect 🧵👇
Well, it’s the day after Wallace and Gromit rode again – and it’s the 31st anniversary of the first appearance of the greatest sound effect in the history of the motion picture, so here’s the story of how (I found out how) they made it...

I’ve been given a bottle of 2013 Chianti as a belated birthday present.
The question is, is it GOOD 2013 Chianti, or is it some shit that’s been sat at the back of an in-law’s cupboard for a decade or more 🤔

I made Christmas dinner for seven people. It’s not the biggest I’ve ever made, but it was definitely one of the best 😁 #ifisaysomyself and listing it all for the alt-text has made me realise exactly how much I did.
The leftovers will be fab tomorrow #stuffed

Christmas Playlist is on. Currently playing: something that is NOT A FUCKING CHRISTMAS SONG
Bells do not mean it’s a Christmas song. The lyrics have got fuck all to do with Christmas.
I was not allowed to skip it by all the people I live with who are WRONG

Prepping sprouts: (I do not like sprouts)
“God this is boring surely that’s enough”
*looks in colander* there’s like, 8.
I stopped at 21. There are 7 of us for Christmas dinner. Maybe 3 will actually eat any sprouts.

The not-fan oven side of the cooker getting its annual use.
Preheated, opened the door to let all the smoke out, put the turkey in.
Also had a maths fail - 2pm minus 3&1/2 hours ≠ 11:30am
So lunch will now be at 3pm

I kind of want to watch #Amadeus but if there is shitty fake instrument playing it will ruin it. I can suspend my disbelief for ridiculous storylines but not for bad musical miming 🤷🏻♀️
Anyone watched it? Comments?

Booked Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday off work to get ready for Christmas at a more leisurely pace than usual.
So of course I’ve got a stinking cold & am spending the day in bed. ☹️🤧🤒
