Peak Somerset Christmas Eve. Spooky standing stones & the Chew Valley Tractor Run.

Just remembered that I have to make my bed. Might just book a hotel instead.

Me : I've not booked much this year, but I should update my calendar anyway. Me, 5 minutes later : Latitude, Glastonbury, Download, Ceremony, We Are Scientists, Antony Szmierek X2, Get Down Services, McFly, Maccabees x 3, Self Esteem x 6 (6!!!!)

So basically,The Influencer Embargo then ? 🤮

Fairytale ending after all. Last minute ticket to the final show. Big cuddle from RLT at stage door - "Oh my god. It was you. I am so sorry. I shoved the mic RIGHT in your face. Who did I think I was, Beyonce ?". Could not love her more. #acomplicatedwoman

I know I've been banging on about her forever, but I doubt I'll ever see anything as extraordinary as @selfesteem.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy A Complicated Woman. Lady next to me said "I've had a huge smile on my face the whole way through, but I also realised I was crying the whole time" Same ❤️

What a fairytale moment. Years of adoring Self Esteem, culminating in her pointing the mic at me in her big West End show, so I could sign the chorus of my favourite song. Or it would have been, if I'd not LITERALLY bent over backwards to avoid everyone hearing my terrible voice. I'm so cool, guys.

Totally fine that clever clever Gmail decided to hide the @empiremagazine.bsky.social VIP email in junk, so I missed out on Tom Hardy. TOTALLY FINE.

Coincidentally at my Dad's this weekend, so dug out my old ticket album. £4 for the Stone Roses 🤯

Nice to see the BFI are planning on traumatising a whole new generation of kids.

Margate Caves - all good as long as you don't think about The Descent *immediately thinks about The Descent"

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

Yep. Still in love with Margate.

Two gigs in a row that have felt like glorious parties. Love you @moonchildsanelly.bsky.social & Antony Szmierek ❤️

Always knew Black Shuck was real.

Thanks to Bury St Edmunds & A Tryal of Witches for a spooky as heck weekend.

NONE OF THE ANGLES ADD UP 😱

Guys, this hotel is generally lush. But I can not tell you how distraughtening I find this Escher hellscape of a bathroom. What in the Event Horizon is this ?!?!

Flipping heck, turns out Folkestone is lush.

Antony Szmierek is such a smasher. Ace album launch @roughtrade1976.bsky.social - great album, great hugs, great cake.

More of this please, Hackney.

Well that's me put off the hotel I was thinking of staying in.

Totally not panicking about getting to Rough Trade in 20 mins, when the Bristol bus timetable appears to be a suggestion not a pledge.

Just crying at Self Esteem on Graham Norton. My girl 💘

And that was before all the vomiting started.

It's not often I'm glad I didn't see a film in the cinema, but Triangle of Sadness is making me seasick just on the telly 🤢

I loved The Monkey as much as I love @princecharlescinema.com - and that is a LOT. An absolute blast from the first gory, giddy second.

Turns out my niece had more access to my holiday bag than I thought 😭

Just out of Babygirl & am wildly tempted to go straight back into the next screening. Had a massive grin on my face from beginning to end. What a delicious mischief of a movie.

Nice to see the Tunnels of Doom leading to the IMAX are darker than ever.

Caught up with the final Gavin & Stacey. What a gorgeous thing. I was already bawling and then the flipping @themaccabees.bsky.social started.

The joy of being back on Brexit Island. No transport for 3 hours because we landed early and £12 for bad tea and a bacon roll which had to be replaced because the first one was left to cremate under the grill 👍 Can I go back now, please ?

#SaveThePCC Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease. For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below; you.38degrees.org.uk/p/princechar...

Last week on Australia, and I can't begin to express how badly I want to stay.

London has snow. We have 36 degrees, a hot tub and a rainforest hideaway.

Didn't expect my first gig of 2025 to be Robbie Flipping Williams. Good one, Melbourne.

@amonwarmann.bsky.social guessing you're not in Melbourne for Christmas cos....flipping heck !!! This is 10 minutes away and it's sold out (obviously) 😭

Yeesh, it's a shock having an accident as a grown up. Tilting bed + fireplace = a head wound gushing blood like the elevators in The Shining. Merry Christmas !!!

Just about to fall asleep when I realise I've set my alarm for the time I need to be AT terminal 3, not the time I need to wake up.

Sensibly ordered iron-on hemming tape so I don't botch my holiday trousers with terrible sewing. Tape arrived. Can't find my iron. Currently botching my holiday trousers with terrible sewing.

Trying to pack for this madness for the next 6 weeks.

Today's big plans...

Perfect to end the year with this brilliant man, responsible for so many of my happiest moments. If you don't already love Willie J Healey, I highly recommend it.

My one Christmas tradition not ruined by this stupid flu, thanks @mikemuncer.bsky.social @adamzed.bsky.social 👻

@faybelline.bsky.social why....whhhhhhhyyyyy.... 😭😭😭

The fun thing about front loading December with cool stuff in order to isolate before a big flight ? Catching a seemingly endless cold on 1st December, and missing all the cool stuff. Yay.

Little surprise that Nobody Wants This is perfect. Seth Cohen 4 Ever.

When you're already miserable with cold and then all the comfort food on your Deliveroo grocery order is out of stock.

I've gone from a stomach bug straight into a horrendous cold, so we're not moving today.

The Horrors in full combat goth mode at the ICA.
