What a treat Conclave is - equal parts thrilling, pensive and camp. Fiennes is a shoe-in for Best Actor; Rossellini Best Supporting Actress. Best Supporting Actor more difficult to call but almost certainly from this film.

An extraordinary, surreal production of the already surreal Tales of Hoffmann at @royaloperahouse.bsky.social. Wonderful cast but Olga Pudova as Olympia particularly stands out.

Gutted to discover that my favourite restored lost garden, #Dewstow in Wales, is now closed permanently. After being re-dug from underneath a pile of Motorway spoil, it's particularly upsetting to lose it again. Praying it will be maintained and opened at least occasionally.

My favourite #magiclantern kaleidoscopic chromotrope, as projected. The distant firework-like sounds are from the crank mechanism.

Oh Boy! Just discovered that #EllenWillmott first visited Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood 30th June 1892, with her friend Lady Fitzhardinge. She enjoys it so much she returns 20 days later 20th July 1892, this time alone. It's the first concrete proof they knew each other this early.

This morning I just wanted to join Seta in this box but there wasn't room so I decided to do something positive and get the hell off X. I've followed as many of my old Twitter chums as I can find but I hardly have any, and must be missing loads. Please tell me who to follow here...
