Made it! @gatehouse.london

Back in the 'burgh for #Edinburgh #Festival #Fringe having worked on a brilliant and bonkers #NewMusical about the life of #JackieBouvier / #Kennedy / #Onasis Every day at 18.30 from 30/7 - 25/8 (not 11th) at the #GildedBalloon #BigYin venue 24 Come and laugh loudly and I'll a huge consensual hug!

So, looks like imma Edinburgh bound for my first festival in fifteen years! I won't be up for long and I will be there to work but hit me up with your shows and/or recommendations and I'll see how much I can fit in! (DMs please)

Found this in my flat yesterday. I assume it is for me but I haven't got the foggiest who it is from! 🤣

I have been a #BrandonSanderson fan for a long time and, as anyone who knows me knows, I read a lot. Coming towards the end of Bands of Mourning, I have to say that "Almost I forgive you for your terrible dancing" is possibly the most beautiful and brilliant lines I've ever read.

Have a guess what I am trying to recreate! (Extra points to Tim as the basil and oregano were grown and dried by yours truly) ((I also added a crumbled stock cube and sugar because I can never just follow a recipe))

Lá Le Pádraig sona dhaoibh! Éire go Brách!

Honestly this is just good fun. If you can now watch it, do! Unless you're homophobic, then it is probably not for you.

Question for my neurodiverse fellowship... When reading, are you utterly distracted if, just by chance, there is an invisible line running through the text? I'm very much enjoying this book however this specific page took me ages as I kept losing focus to look at the not line!

Ramadan Mubarak and Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant! (I googled dragon in a burka and this is what came up!)

Had a delightful weekend watching my godkids in a play* with their parents then making a Lego map with them. *it was a Howard Barker play so delightful may be the wrong word

I did this starter pack back at the dawn of Blue and it definitely needs updating since then so add yourself or message me and I'll add... go.bsky.app/JDdYaMz

I have never collated my reading over a year and I keep seeing posts of people that do and it made me wonder, how much do I actually read. 28.1.25 and I started book 5 last night. This will be an ongoing thread, if anyone other than me cares...

The problem with knowing bits of a few languages. Didn't even notice until I looked at it just now...

Sunday cooking and I'm covering my trinity bases!

BBC are making cuts to its radio drama output. Of course there are hundreds of jobs and potential jobs at stake but my main issue is the lack of care for visually impaired listeners. This is a lifeline. Please do not let it go! chng.it/XvcMK5QnXF

Tonight I'll be raising a glass of gin to an absolute legend. There are too many brilliant stories to share of Linda Nolan and anyone who knew her will, I am sure, have their own. A life always live with a smile and copious amounts of gin, even when it was a struggle to find anything to smile about.

Assuming this is legit...

The awesome #GeorgeWeightman co narrated #TheMinistryOfTime by #KalianeBradley alongside the also awesome #KatieLeung and you can vote for them if you click on the below link... discoverscifi.com/the-best-sci... What are you waiting for? Get clicking!

Forgot to post my Christmas Lunch pics. Fancy arse menus not done by me. 😁

The whole point of a belief is that it cannot be proven. You can believe in unicorns and that the moon is made of cheese, it does not make it so! I find it so baffling that the world is becoming less enlightened as I get older. Surely it is supposed to be the other way round...

This just made my heart bleed a little!

I knew I was going to be a godfather again in the new year but have just found out there's two of them and I couldn't be happier!

Finally managed to watch #SmoggieQueens written by and starring the brilliant #PhilDunning @petermcpherson.bsky.social is obvs brilliant and he is joined by a strong cast (thanks #SamClaypole ) and a fab creative team whose attention to detail is utterly delightful! 👍👍👍 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Coffee, coke, codeine and crossword. Best pre show warm up for Tim! @gatehouselondon.bsky.social #EntertainingMurder

To all my friends living with HIV, you may be undetectable but I see you. The incredible research has lead to a world where this disease never needs to kill again. As a wise (half) man once said... Live long and prosper. #WorldAidsDay #BreakTheStigma

I have just finished #TheAtlasParadox by #OlivieBlake and I am waiting for #TheAtlasComplex to be delivered. What the hell am I supposed to do until then? Damn my lack of preparation and also my speedy reading and also the lovely words that encouraged me to read so fast.

Tree is lovely! Anyone I know want to make some lovely cards for her?

Reserved my seat for #RoadShow at @gatehouselondon.bsky.social and today is the anniversary of #StevenSondheim leaving our world with one of the best legacies of any musical writer that has ever been. Having an absolute marathon of his best songs in my head today...

Still not sure how this works but I have added some more names to this so thought I would send it out again... go.bsky.app/JDdYaMz

Thought of the day: Art is subjective and not everything it to everyone's taste. It is absolutely ok to not like something but there is also absolutely no reason that needs to be shouted publicly. If a creative is not to your tastes, keep it to yourself. Unless it is Kevin Spacey, then it's fine. 🤣

Creatives out there, give @actorsnetworkuk.bsky.social a follow. A good hub forming for us lot in this new space. X

I did a thing! At the moment it is only a few people as some some haven't migrated (yet) and also I actually don't know what I am doing really. Please add anyone who should be in here. Just casting. Just UK. I will probably do a few more packs for other Our World stuff soon... go.bsky.app/JDdYaMz
