Despite it being the end of April, these winds have made it feel decidedly February even in the sun! #windy

The Rocketgirl Chronicles, a book of photography from Australian-Ukrainian artist Andrew Rovenko, is published in the UK this week. With a foreward by me. It’s a beautiful collection that captures a specific moment in time - both for the world and for the father/daughter relationship at its heart.

I used to strum away at my guitar trying to find a way to create a song. This morning I started using my metronome with the bell on a 4 count. Suddenly structure appeared and the fledgling bird appeared on the branch.

My friend Pete's work from a life drawing session I ran with @tmld.bsky.social of the wonderful @kramerevans.bsky.social

Let’s not forget this.

I'm watching Robert Golden's short film on creativity. What am I curious about? How, as an actor in a, long running play, can I explore that curiosity 8 times a week, given the discipline of the form? vimeo.com/1179499980

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

A crisp, blue skied morning

I totally was cool once.

How was your Christmas? Only cooking for 4. My cousin Ana helped with the peeling and chopping while I could be left alone in the kitchen. Loved it.

I keep looking at the potatoes in peeling, thinking, I know it's only 4 people but, is this enough? And I peel another. I've been doing this for about 10 minutes. I should stop

BBC Radio 2 Love Songs with Michael Ball Now Playing Joni Mitchell River

Dear Michael Ball, Thank you for playing Joni Mitchell's River. Sometimes Christmases aren't what they seem for people, there's loss and heartbreak disguised by a thick veneer to keep everyone happy. River is for those people. Those people and me. [email protected]

Ok. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding got me in the end. I miss my friend.

So...people that say politics shouldn't be part of football seem to be pretty quiet about FIFA awarding Drumpf the FIFA Peace Prize

The lovely Julie Hesmondhalgh, with whom I worked in Cucumber about 11 years ago!

No, we set the temperature of backstage. And we need to make sure it's healthy

I'm really good at making soups. You could say that I'm a consommé professional

Finished recording the wonderful new @janettay.bsky.social book out next year. Thank you to the amazing producer Nicola Clayton who was vital to directing me. I'm so glad she speaks both canto and mando!

More audiobooking with @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social today.

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess, we may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark." - Agnes De Mille, choreographer

Finally finished the pre-lim editing down of photos from a session I did IN APRIL! Filled in some drill-holes with filler in the bedroom. Now on my way to warm up for the 2 show day while reading the @janettay.bsky.social novel. It's only 11.41. I'm in my 50s. There's no slowing down

live action catbus looking pretty sweet

Woke up feeling crap with no voice. Had enough milk left for 1 tea. Got back into bed. Spilt tea on the mattress. I can't even do ill without it being a minor disaster

Humanists vs Capitalists. It seems ur one or the other. And that it may not even be a matter of choice, but a matter of access to capital. boxd.it/KOTG

Thanks to @tupaqfelber.bsky.social for this photo of me outside @totoroshow.bsky.social

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

Is anyone surprised?

We don't have to push children into poverty. We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled. We don't have to aid and abet genocide. For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore. Join us at yourparty.uk

78.6kg. The lightest I've weighed for about 20 years. That's the catbus workout every day

Do we ever "peat" anything? We "repeat" but I don't think I can think of the time when I peated just once.

So #billieeilish came to see us last week. I passed her in the corridor by the exit, "that was AMAZING" she told me. Her mum said the same.

Listening to #LauraNyro like I've just discovered her. I'm loving the changes in rhythm and the Sesame Street bounciness

These are good days. 51% of the audiobook done, heading to work on @totoroshow.bsky.social and waiting for the release of the game I recorded with @pitstop-audio.bsky.social to be released so I can talk about it

Today after @totoroshow.bsky.social I had the honour of another actor from the US introduce himself to me. I felt the world change around me as we talked. Pennies dropped and I realised who Tracy Letts was. And he loved the show. @tletts.bsky.social
