Day off before my birthday weekend so treated myself to being emotionally annihilated by Hamnet. Never been quite as mesmerised by an actor as Jessie Buckley towards the end of that. Astonishing.

First trip of 2026 to the cinema yesterday. A 10am start for a film starring Kristen Wiig, Jason Mantzoukas and Gloria Estefan. That's right, it was The Gabby's Dollhouse Movie.
It was fine actually. Contains one very solid joke. Also cost a grand total of £2 for me and my daughter to go.

Commonwealth Games tickets opened up today for Glasgow residents so I thought I'd have a look. To attend the only athletics session we'd be able to make would have cost us over £150 as 2 adults and a child. For the cheap seats. Guess not then.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Have been physically and mentally exhausted lately and surrounded by grief so decided to treat myself to a solo cinema trip.
Went to see Bring Her Back 👀
That was a choice!
Talk To Me is my favourite horror film of recent years and this by the Phillippou brothers is possibly even more devastating.

My newly turned 6 year-old just told me she had a hypothesis.
-OK, what's your hypothesis
-it's an idea you can test out
-very good, but not what is a hypothesis. What's YOUR hypothesis?
*she thinks for quite a while*
-I can do science because I have long arms. That's why babies can't do science!

Did one day in the edit with Yentob so that was an experience! He was very nice to me and very interested in all my opinions. Admittedly I think it was because he was trying to play me off against the director, but still!

To give an idea of how long it is since it rained in Glasgow - I opened my 5 year-old's blinds this morning and she asked "Why is the sky doing that, Daddy?"!

Still getting over my 5 year-old daughter the other day saying "Daddy, when I'm older, can you send me this song so I can remember listening to it with you?" - almost ended me!

Not sure it's a great thing when the nurse who's just meant to be taking your sutures out is excited to show you off to the student nurse as a classic case of 'red man syndrome'.
Basically my whole body is a rash right now. What fun!

I guess an indication that we may have left it a bit too long between cleans is that I now find it quite jarring being able to see what's in the oven!
