Saw Krapp’s Last Tape tonight with the brilliant Gary Oldman. Got to say hello after and was all ready to chat to him about Leon, The Darkest Hour or Slow Horses, but no, in true Kuhn fashion I ended up talking to him about bananas. But he was very lovely and wrote a message for my daughter.

Flying visit back to the motherland for some lawnmower action at mum and dad’s (check out those stripes, bitches) then @laidjamestribute.bsky.social @yardbirds.bsky.social with my big sis. Pretendy Tim Booth totally nailed the dancing, great energy, great night 😁

I feel like I’m stuck in front of a laptop a lot at the moment, so until I win the lottery and ditch you losers and head off into the sunset, I’m trying to make time to be out in the fresh air and sunshine before I start work

Lovely few days in Eskdale in the campervan - as ever @mrwetwood.bsky.social made me do lots of ‘up’ but it was worth it to see Hardknott Roman fort. There were newborn lambs everywhere, lots of laughs, a bit of graveyard action and, as expected, my hot pink crocs went down a storm at the campsite.

It’s been a good 10 minutes since I last talked about death, so here you go… It’s got Columbo, alpacas and a bit of Kafka for balance. #grief
