The Christmas 2025 Lego is complete!

#NowWatching Certainly the slimest of the Christmas Ghost Stories. Michael Bryant is perfect as another M. R. James academic who driven by hubris (and possibly greed) won't recognise warning signs.

I hadn't seen Blackeyes since it's original broadcast, and remembering the hopeless contemporary press coverage I was hoping for a revelation. But it really isn't very good at all, mainly due to Potter's mad directorial choices killing the thing stone dead.

Omg we’ve won a game 😮⚽️🔴 #mufc

since it's autumn, here's something i drew last year, Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) and Charon (Ramon Tikaram) from the TV-series "Kaos", carving pumpkins for their spooky season. #kaosnetflix #kaostvseries #greekmythology #charmetheus #pumpkincarving #halloween #samhain

Surprise! My little animatic aka homage to Stephen Dillane is finally here for you all to watch! Short but sweet, and most importantly, made with love and eternal gratitude. Any kind of support is GREATLY appreciated, enjoy!!💖 youtu.be/gfAhfztcv8o?... #StephenDillane #animation #animatic #art

And there you go! The second batch of teaser stills of my homage to the ever so wonderful Stephen Dillane! I will most likely release the full animatic during August, so keep an eye out! I had so much fun working on this and I can't wait to share it with you 💖 #animatic #StephenDillane #art #myart

You can’t beat a National Trust secondhand bookshop when it comes to unearthing gems!

The weekend wasn’t entirely as unexpected or hoped, but probably the best we could do given Mum’s dementia. Despite the cake arriving in a squashed box it is still delicious, and the cream tea hamper was worth the exploding yoghurt pot when I tried to hide the Roddas in the fridge.

Got to love a National Trust secondhand bookshop. Two Samuel Beckett play texts for £1 each.

At least we will be spared being humiliated in the Champions League next season 😬 #smallmercies

Of course the deadlock would be broken by a scrappy own goal. That’s just peak Manchester United and Spurs this season 😩

Reading these stories it no longer feels as stupid as it did, but breaking a metatarsal by standing up caused much mirth…alongside pain and humiliation.

My very own Carpet Porsche 🤣

An old slang German word for a dog that’s small enough for you to accidentally step on (making it yelp/honk) is Fußhupe. It means “foot-horn.” And if a dog is low to the ground but still speedy (like a dachshund), I’ve heard it referred to in German as a Teppichporsche (“carpet-Porsche”).

Happy dog at his favourite place 🏏

When I was about 10 there was nothing in the world I wanted more than a Duncan Fearnley Magmum…except maybe a dog. I only ever got one of them 😂

In his first match at first class level, he scored 17 runs. In the second, he scored 18. This was clearly the inspiration for the phrase “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

His most famous play, Wait-no-yes-shit-sorry-ing For Godot, was about two batting partners involved in a disastrous runout.

Happy Birthday to Samuel Beckett, whose main claim to fame is his first class batting average of 8.75.

I adored my Talking Baby Sinclair 😭

Eclipse!

Happy Birthday Stephen Dillane!

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the sweetest man and most inspiring hermit there could be, aka our Stephen Dillane! Ever so charming and so incredibly compassionate, and of course, exceptionally talented as well 💖 #WilliamOgilvy #art #StephenDillane

Why did I take so long to watch #Kaos? It's fab! Particularly loving Stephen Dillane as Prometheus.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid

Slow Loris 😍

Perhaps it is me, but the plans for Manchester United’s new stadium are giving me Butlins vibes…with the Space Needle stuck on top.

Huzzah! It’s time for County Cricket Matters! @anniechave.bsky.social

Even now I'm half wondering if this is some softening-up exercise for a more limited (but still dreadful) set of final proposals, but just to be clear - this would be an act of outright barbarity without precedent: not copying the Tories, worse than the Tories. www.itv.com/news/2025-03...

Is the chap in pyjamas yawning or cleaning his teeth with an invisible toothbrush?

Favorite Film or Television Portrayals of Historic Figures: Stephen Dillane as Viscount Halifax in Darkest Hour (2017) 💖💖💖📽️📽️📽️

Was just reminded that Daniel Craig and Jason Isaacs and Stephen Dillane played Joe and Louis and Prior in Angels in America in the UK in 1993 and I would like to request a time machine once again please and thank you

When your new National Trust membership card has part of Stannis Baratheon’s Dragonstone on it 😍

Where is Starmer's statement of support for Zelenskyy. No excuses. No equivocation.

#Christmas 1991: Tableware & Gifts and Christmas Decorations from PDSA (+Christmas Pudding Teapot; Victorian Mince Pie Tray; Holly Berry Napkins; Holly Tablecloths; Roses Mug and Chocolates; Pair of Holly Lamps; Victorian Style Santa; Christmas Wreath; Angel Chimes; 20 Wooden Decorations, and more)

Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

Today’s watercolour practise has seen me painting a toucan. I feel like a Guinness now 😂

If this commentator says “I have to say” one more time then I have to say that I might scream. #EVEMUN

Gulls aren’t getting bigger, they are just getting closer to us according to the Breakfast News.

First proper go with the watercolours. There’s a long way to go but it’s a start!
