In the lift, 3 suits get in talking about a meeting "Is it online or a fleshie?" My skin crawled. It was a fleshie and they were all saying fleshie and I couldn't get out of that lift quick enough.

Hey, if you liked the song and you don't know who Stella Young was, I recommend you hustle to your search engine of choice and type in her name. Watch her famous Opera House talk and you'll see why! 🥰 She was only 32 when she died, but holy shit did she make it count.

Here he is in Carry On Teacher, Richard had a long fabulous career until his stroke at 59. Of course I loved him in Man About the House and Robin's Nest but also whenever he popped up in anything really. Saw him play Liz Taylor's little brother Ptolemi in Cleopatra recently. RIP sweety.

Tonight for dinner I made the dish Rumbledethumps. A sort of Scottish version of Colcannon; lightly mashed potatoes, cabbage and onions with cheese melted over the top in the oven. I added some herbs from the garden. A delicious side to steak.

After listening to Stuart Goldsmith's chat with her, I just came across Kristen Schaal's Live at the Fillmore special & it is as brilliant and astonishing as they talked about. She proves her chops with a solid 1st half of comedy that had me crying with laughter then rides it off the rails. Awesome!

Internet Movie Database has been my favourite thing on the internet since it began and now it's been ruined. I can't read reviews anymore and I can imagine it will all be locked soon.
AI is making everything worse, like a plague moving through everything online and I'm just sad about it.

Gorgeous late winter day to go see daffodils at my friend's house in the country. He calls it the Daffodil Party & we've not done it since before 2020. I came home with a bucket full of daffodils. The frogs were loud after the rain has filled the dam & I heard & saw lots of birds inc a pardalote!
