I’ve reached that point of the year when I’ve almost caught up on all my podcasts and have started listening to them at normal speed in order to make them last, but then repeatedly worrying that the hosts have had a medical incident as they seem to be speaking so slowly!

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025

“No, never, of course not.”

This scene from the BBC Paris Olympics documentary has made me chuckle all day. Theatre directors having to work outdoors…

Great role at a great festival

Lovely to be at the opening of @lornarees.bsky.social exhibition The Art of Ear Trumpet at Christchurch’s Red House Museum. Celebrating 10 years of this wonderful show, the exhibition runs until end of Jan 2025.

Delighted that Inside Out Dorset 2023, the festival I produce, has been named a finalist in the Dorset Tourism Awards. Our last festival in 2021 won the award and went on to win the category at the SW Tourism Awards, so fingers crossed for a repeat.

Just used the two hand choice with my ADHD partner and it worked! Thank you @helenzaltzman.bsky.social

This is utterly brilliant. What better way to get the next gen interested in outdoor arts!

Is there anyway @joebarton.bsky.social can just be put in charge of all television? Giri/Haji, Bastard Son, Lazarus Project & now Black Doves. Honestly one the most talented people working in entertainment.

As someone who is autistic, I’m glad to see that charity Ambitious About Autism have finally removed Gregg Wallace as an ambassador. I wrote to them 2 years ago, when some previous allegations had become public, and they were happy to defend him, despite his clearly problematic behaviour.

Me and the dog were joined on our walk this morning by this group of very friendly New Forest ponies. Always keep my distance but they were determined to say hello!

Great day at 101 Outdoor Arts in Newbury yesterday, for Reflect. Reimagine. Redefine, imagining the future of outdoor arts with so many brilliant colleagues

It was pretty gorgeous in the forest this morning

Been years since I read this. I agree with every word.

We picked an interesting day for an Inside Out Dorset site. #outdoorarts #naturecalling

Tomorrow is the last Serving Sounds show of 2024. Working Boys Club will be taking their musical bar to Rotherham for the 10th annual Reclaim the Night event. They’ll be at Grimm & Co from 4pm before joining the walk at 6pm. Everyone’s welcome so do come along. #rotherham #reclaimthenight
