Went to a film at Screen 4 of @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social for the first time today - really nice little venue and will look forward to seeing movies there again. 🎥🎬

I will do the draw and announce winners tonight 😁

This could be the start of something big.

Ashamed to admit I was unaware before today of this podcast, and this is the very last episode! Essential listening, IMHO. At least you can still dip into the back catalogue! spotify.link/Gj7CisKJuXb

Pity about all the anti-social graffiti 😞

In my copy of the Blue Guide to Scotland, it records that the highest wind speed recorded in UK was 177 mph at RAF Saxa Vord in Unst in 1962 - at which point the anemometer blew away!

Morning.

And all that white space in the corner going begging 😉

It's a pity that, in the solution to her weekly puzzle for the Observer, @lauracummingart.bsky.social doesn't say whether the picture is exhibited - it might be nice to go and see it, if it is!

@filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social I do wish you would do something about your cluttered, confusing website. A simple, downloadable (PDF?) listing would be no end of help!

On the shortlist for my favourite film ever

Going to see the newly restored Pamela Brown and her hounds on the big screen tomorrow @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social ily.

First movie back at Film House - hello old friend!

@spokes.org.uk I miss this 😞 www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/lepra-ride.htm

Imagine having a 150 seat majority in parliament and still having no power whatsoever because you’ve decided your priorities are playing the focus groups to try to keep the opposition’s voters happy and not upsetting a foreign tyrant who’s dismantling his own democracy and has his sights on yours

And a great gig it was, too 👏👏👏

If I was asked, in the style of the Guardian Questionnaire, who was the living person I most admired, I'm not sure whom I would nominate: but Anthony Fauci would be on the shortlist. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

April 12, 1945: death of FDR. Churchill: "His love of his own country, his respect for its constitution...were evident, added to these were the beatings of that generous heart which was always stirred to anger and to action by spectacles of aggression and oppression by the strong against the weak."

Huh, weird. Probably just a coincidence

In plain sight....

Insider trading much? Didn’t Martha Stewart go to prison for that? Just curious 🤔 Good morning all!

Whilst I'm glad that 6 Nations rugby will continue to be free to view for the next few years, I can't help but lament ITV's coverage, laden with very irritating adverts. Things have to move on, but can't help but miss the perfection that Messrs McLaren, Butler and Moore brought to commentary.

Vance comes to Munich and lectures Europe on free speech but fails to mention Russia, where free speech gets people murdered. What should have been an important address about conflict is used to push an agenda to Europe's far right. Nobody should trust a word said by his administration.

Amazed that the pebble beaches of Sidmouth have transformed to sand and maram grass #MissAusten
