The main collection remains an eclectic mix of joy, reminding me why I love Giacometti, Moore & the adorable ancient hippo and deepening my admiration of Bacon yet evolving with new items such the insect sculpture below 8

Gorgeous Gunpowder & Abstraction exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey with an ethereal yet imposing feel in his huge electro gunpowder compositions. Abstract, natural, random yet entrancing with depth. An unexpected joy 8

116 #TheChoral Ffienes stars as a choir master ousted from Germany &it's music culture during WW1, taking on a amateur choir to fuel his passion. Futility of war, importance of humanity, importance of love kindness & humour are gently told by a good British TV cast in a TV film. 5

Exploring the issues in jems family which are slowly teased out across the film, focusing on son, wife and brother Ray, who has lived with shame, hiding for 20 years after a war crime. Intense slow film of guilt & loss, good score, well acted but with limited emotional engagement. 6

So 3 CB with Kenny stepping forward and oscar as lwb? Better than Kenny left back.
Glad to see Duffy dropped

Who plays at full back will be interesting. Assuming jack still out who is next best at either lb or RB? Fisher at RB preferablebut what options? While it be mcconcilr with medic in for Duffy??

A couple of players is less important than a coach who can. Make the most of those we have, move the ball forward, reintroduce defending to the CBs, remove the bad actors in the playing squad (for clarity Duffy). now is the time to sack manning

horny young creative couple return to Montana. post birth, vibrant Grace shrinks & spirals as feckless Jackson's repeated work trips, thoughtless gifts, dalliances & sexual rejection & isolation means depression hit hard. Lawrence excels, pattison broods. Bold intense emotional 7

West End feel to the latest adaptation, looking sumptuous. Plenty of laughs with Toby Jones as Iago, Hardwood bombastic as Othello, Byrne channeling Hugh Laurie Prince Regent as feckless Rodrygo with Vinette Robinson shining as Amelia. 6

Back to the playhouse for the oft returning comedian, for more generic ramblings, stunning coincidences and acute observations. Always a funny night 7
