Finishing the week with the last album from @lolayoung.music-social.com. Really enjoying it. #GetWellSoonLola

Pulled these 2 off the shelf to play in the car this week. #TsunamiBomb

Film #33 of the annual pass, a preview screening of Together. Canny horror that feels like a reboot of Society in some ways. Nice to be an almost full screen with people who jump or laugh together. Horror is great as a shared experience.

Love living here in the North East. We have the balance between urban, country and coast all in a short area.

The joy of the summer is listening to music and reading. Just finished my Status Quo book this afternoon (which took far too long as I wasn't making time to read). Decided to pick this one off the pile to read next.

I was really moved by this show that only has one night to go. Powerful theatre.

Last night, we had a good laugh at a very funny comedy.

This morning's cd in the car to work was 2018s Dream Wife by Dream Wife. I needed something uplifting.

Saw this last night. It was warm in the theatre.

Tonight I'm off the Live theatre to watch a play about Diana.

Planning a couple of visits to the cinema this weekend. Need to catch up on 28 years and Jurassic Park. Both will be good on the big screen. Booked already as we left it too late last weekend and the good seats had gone.

Tonight I have been listening to Troublegum by Therapy? I hate to say it...from 31 years ago.

This week's episode of "postie please find a new place every week to hide my new cd delivery." They found a brand new place rather than sticking it through the letter box, so I found it on the Sunday as I put stuff in the bins.

Loved Porkpie at Hull Social on Friday night. Our first time at the venue.

My review of Hairspray at Sunderland Empire this week

Today. A free chance to look around the Theatre Royal.

THIS WEEK: "A wonderful piece of storytelling" - Penguin, performed and co-created by Hamzeh Al Hussein, returns to @livetheatre.bsky.social Newcastle. We reviewed it back in 2023: www.northeasttheatreguide.co.uk/2023/09/revi... Tickets: www.live.org.uk/whats-on/pen...

Just got Miki Berenyi Trio @mikiberenyi.bsky.social CD from @reflexrecordshop.bsky.social in the post. Got it on now and it's lush. (I know we don't get post on a Sunday, but I've just found where the postie hid it yesterday!)

Amigo The Devil were so good last night that i bought a couple of their CDs. They are the reason why I make the effort to catch the support band. Supporting Frank Turner at the NX in Newcastle last night.

Saw Sam Shields open for Frank Turner last night at NX. Very impressed and need to see him again. #livemusic #gig

Frank Turner at Newcastle NX last night. Brilliant gig! #livemusic #gig

Politics is about choices.

Loved Tina - The Tina Turner Musical at @SunderlandEmpire last night. Review to follow on the North East Theatre Guide. tldr: probably the best biographical jukebox musical about a music act that we've seen.

My order has arrived from @reflexrecordshop.bsky.social - New albums by Welly, Lottery Winners and @benefitstheband.bsky.social. Excellent start to the week.

Looking forward to my cd arriving from reflex.

Heading to Saltburn for a day put today.

Ryton Hotel. A former pub. We have lost three in this village in my time here and a fourth is currently closed.

A postbox with a knitted Hungry Caterpillar in Ryton. Is it just a British thing to do this?

Songs I like #6 Tainted Love by Gloria Jones. Love the rhythm
