What a Marvellous Party it was last night. Super grateful to be asked to film behind the scenes at the Noël Coward 125th Anniversary Gala last night. The whole place was full of people I admire, so I took the opportunity to shoot a few pics too.
Don’t think I’ll ever understand how football fans get so worked up by a game. Such visceral reactions to a result that you have no part in accept as spectator. I’ve never been able to buy into being a fan of any sports club, and it feels bizarre to really not care about something so many people do.

I don’t know why it happens but every March work goes really quiet before going mad in April and staying mad for the rest of the year. And whilst I should enjoy the downtime I’m not a fan of not being busy. So if anyone is looking for video content in March then give me a holler!

Question: if they can see this detail on a planet so far away, why can’t the same telescopes see, for example, Mars in microscopic detail from Earth?

So lovely to bump into the legend that is @markvalencia.bsky.social and have a good chinwag on the way into work this evening.
A delight to bump into my old @whatsonstage.bsky.social friend Ben Hewis @benhewis.bsky.social at Leigh Station. We travelled together to our respective gigs and put the world to rights all the way in.

Albie finished his last nativity performance tonight, so proud of him. Theatre was always going to be something we encouraged but never forced, but he’s really loved it and he’s now asking about joining a drama group.
Then to get this message from his teacher, heart is bursting with pride.

If you’re looking for a podcast, I can wholeheartedly recommend Strangers on a Bench by @tomrosenthal.bsky.social. I’ve just done the first 3 eps and it’s a gorgeously made thing of beauty. Real conversations with real people, heart rending honesty and beautiful music. I love it so much.
