Very pleased my piece 'Crude' (from the bigger piece Precious Things) is having another outing, courtesy of Hemiola. They are a really brilliant young vocal consort and well worth hearing. It's in Cambridge on Saturday 4 July - tickets available now!

Splendid use of hat on a hat. Ha haaaa.

Anyone travelling to Europe this summer know that Farage and his wrecking crew caused this unnecessary chaos. But at least we got our blue passports back. Super high quality. Oh…

Upon arrival in the EU in the long (we got our sovereignty back) passport queue, I imagine dark suited Americans tapping away on screens in a remote room - as I get to passport control (after an hour because 350 million a week to the NHS) the agents look up; Jason Bourne just popped up on the grid…

More travel. More waiting in hot pipes. Two scenes always play out. The first - as we take off I imagine Shawn Flynn struggling with the control column, suddenly shot in the foot, just managing to escape with the other Wild Geese. (Oh there’s more…)

Very much enjoying Gay, Bethell at the crease, and also enjoying Stokes’s buzz cut - a strong look. #testcricket #carryon.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Very rare sighting of all spectacles at a watering hole. Since this was taken at least two pairs have vanished again in to the wild.

Do so love cracking the spine on a new large book, knowing it will be dog-eared and coffee stained within a week or so…

Hell yeah I’m tough enuss.

The boys are back in the foxholes! A fascinating study of the Battle of The Bulge with @almurray.bsky.social and James Holland. #ww2headquarters youtu.be/VmWvgSN95jw

One of those days where nothing quite goes right. But then my boys and I helped rescue a woman who was desperate to get home to her poorly mum by pushing her car out of a snowdrift. And my boys learned that helping people feels good. Community, help, and love. So not a wasted day. Hope her mum is ok

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Saturday ‘Dad Luge’. Gold medalist.

Watching the men’s luge on the sofa in the exact position that they do the luge. #winterolympics #somuchsliding

If it makes you want to fund mine and @benwillbond.bsky.social’s project even more, I can let you know that the working title was “Ip Dip Dog Spy”. It’s going to be *that* good.

Happy Hijack Season 2 day my friends. I didn’t get to run around with guns but I did get to hang out with m’colleague @jimfieldsmith.bsky.social who has created an INCREDIBLE show.

So many press calls where he’s half way through a door. Like he’s answered the door to a charity drive or the annoying neighbour. Weird.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, as always. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy79...

Vince Gilligan though.

New video from WW2Headquarters - Al looks at the Churchill Tank! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnO...

A large knot of Italian soldiers at the hotel buffet this morning, adding to the kinetic confusion, the sudden halt by the eggs, the pausing by the beans . Plus, two solid blokes, clearly carrying, with earpieces in my corridor, staring me down. Very exciting morning.

Stranger Things Day, though, yeah? Yeah.

Please stop piping music at me. Stop it. No.

Ryanair have beautifully perfected the narrow pain of air travel. The machine check in, the small bag checks, the lack of legroom and overhead space, the constant enforced selling of sh*t. Profit above everything. End stage capitalism in full bloom.

Good News Bears.

If the aliens come it will be Ben Stokes who greets them. He’s the best of us. #Ashes #Fifer #Itakeitallback

Everyone now… Where’s your Head at? Where’s your Head at!!!!?

Given the cricket I may have a whiskey.

Never not astonished by the lusty morning holiday drinkers at airports. It’s 07.30 guys. Some fellas here three pints deep. The day hangover alone…

Come on JOFFRA!

Has anyone on here set up a Hive heating system without going insane and wanting to destroy the universe and everything in it?

Does…does anyone fancy a pint?

Absolutely loved this and by coincidence am slap bang in that space where the voice is telling me ‘no’.

Air travel is mostly waiting on stairs isn’t it?

@herbssnoof.bsky.social and a very happy birthday to you. At ease. Feet up, kettle on.

Too many moving parts, man. Kin ell.

Tough enuss.

Super busy hotel buffet breakfast solo dodge dance this morning. Kinetic.

David Cross folks.

Friday night though? Yeah?
