Stop doomscrolling and watch a rescue mission in fascist territory instead.

It’s TRYING to spring but still a mainly monochromatic day

London waking up this morning

Kulcha and 🍷 with these fabulous people today 🥰🥳

Cathedral in the clouds

Labour in Scotland transitioning to a more positive pro-independence position (even a more neutral/exploratory one), and separating itself from UK Labour, would potentially change the landscape at Holyrood a lot Wonder if they’ll ever be brave enough to?

Happy 💘’s Day!

Finally worked out where to put the random LED lights I got from Ikea

Yet again reduced to tears of laughter by the utterly awesome Garry Starr … if you have ANY chance at all to see this in the next two Sundays, just grab it Supremely silly 🥰🥳🤣

One of my favourite ways to spend a Sunday morning 🥰

Enjoyed this BUT didn’t think it developed enough beyond the short story and, great as they are, both Mescal and O’Connor have delivered much more intense-but-restrained 🏳️‍🌈 performances than this, the depth of emotion felt a bit lacking (also, took AGES to find a showing, surprisingly few screens!)

Calvin and Hobbes always makes me 😊

Loving that the He-Man trailer has triggered the inevitable chat about 80s cartoons, which were best and which had the best intros So … “… fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword…” youtu.be/zjTMnbpCBZU?...

Westminster Bubble

I usually ask kids in clinic what TV and films they’re watching and one teen this week said “The Goonies” and then followed it up with “Toy Soldiers” which is probably the most niche response I’ve ever had to that question (I was slightly obsessed with this film aged 14)

Clinic today was sponsored by covert Irn Bru

Lighthouse

Start of another week then …

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that's all I need to know about you.”

Short, intense, novel as two men (one Wee Free minister, one solitary islander) with no common language are forced together in strained circumstances on a remote island in the Clearances era Enjoyed it (thanks for rec @drjje.bsky.social!) but could have done with latter third being more developed

Honestly what worries me more if they’re sticking this clownish stuff in the foreground, what’re they planning in the background? Maybe they’re building space arks and they’re all going to fly off to Mars together That’d be lovely

Icy

Start of the work day vs end of the work day (2)

Start of the work day vs end of the work day … trying to muster up the energy to go home 🤣

Fractured Reflection

Parliament, winter’s morning

My evening plan is chill, read some of my book, watch some Heated Rivalry, psyche up for back to work, and I’ve not done one of these “ask me questions” in ages so why not? (Will prob answer any questions, if any, on Instagram tho) ngl.link/thefourthcraw2 IG: www.instagram.com/thefourthcra...

Highgate sunset

First Waterlow Park duckpond selfie of the year 😊 Such a gorgeous winter’s day! ☀️

Best foot forward…

Gorgeous winter’s day ☀️ I love this view of London, especially on days like today, it weirdly feels like the City is floating in space

Fab time at Punch Drunk’s Lander … like a live action video game! (We were 6th out of 20th, which I’m counting as a win! 🤣) @drjje.bsky.social

Finished Dark this morning … I know I’m very late to it, but what a brilliant series, complex and satisfying 👏

NHS “wellbeing” culture in a nutshell youtu.be/_12xKVATz28?...

A piece of symmetry in my life I really love This is the northern end of the East Coast Main Line, just short of the Northern terminus in Inverness, running in the woods behind my parents’ house …

Really enjoying using Lumenate Nova to chill out and decompress 😍 (it uses flashing LED lights together with sound/music (including your own picks) to create visual kaleidoscopes against closed eyes … this was Tchaikovsky’s 6th)

Traitors faces 😮

Happy New Year from a New Year’s Day walk 😍 @drkidneyash.bsky.social

I have this framed on the wall of my office 🥰 #LetsGoExploring

Think this is my favourite photo taken in 2025

May to December

Age of Revelation is the first time I’ve not read the core x-books in a looooong time … having read the finale, doesn’t feel like I’ve missed much :(

This might be the last time I’m the tallest!

Gail is always right 😉

There Be Dragons Here! (Did consult him for wisdom, but he was unforthcoming)

Christmas holiday reading so far Book of Dust was a bit disappointing but the rest were all fab … accidental theme of unreliable or uncertain narrators

Clootie well

Winter walk 🥰

Frozen ferns
