It’s a cold and frosty morning, but it feels like there’s a hint of spring in the air. From the sound of things, the birds agree.

PERFORMERS - do you need help with your show? I have currently got space for one or two new clients. I love directing, and I’m good at it - but don’t take my word for it; references available on request. Get in touch. And spread the word.

In Germany between the wars, leader-sanctioned violent thuggery was at the very heart of the rise of the right. It always is; it’s a weak man thing. ICE just aren’t as smartly dressed.

Merry Christmas, one and all; ten minutes left, and I find myself flying solo. What do I do? Let me rephrase; what on earth do I eat and/or drink next?

Saw @sirmattbourne.bsky.social’s Red Shoes again today; wonderful - bravo and Merry Christmas, corps de ballet. Keen to see his Brief Encounter now… NB: Progeny, not pictured, also in attendance.

Today we saw Its A Wonderful Life at the cinema, like we do every Christmas, and I thought I might be a bit over it… It was so fantastic; I cried all the way through. ‘Best film ever made’, contended my daughter, and she might be on to something.

Now, I understand that language grows and shifts and changes, but to ‘gift’ a gift is a useless, advertisers’ coinage and I can’t stand it. I won’t accept it and neither should you.

With both progeny heading beyond their teens and towards their twenties, I’m very happy to report that our annual family Christmas tree walk was as wonderful - and magical - as ever. Of the ten rated, the winner was the Royal Opera House tree (the one in the distance in this pic).

A little selection of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The short, rainy, grey Winter Solstice comes to a close. My wife & daughter swam at Hampstead Heath and me and my eldest, not to be outdone, played FRISBEE in the rain, on the mud, in the darkness at Highbury Fields. A frisbee that lights up helps! Wonderful day. Happy holidays.

Didn’t know I was doing #finsburyparkrun til around 8.45 this morning; what a lovely surprise, and that’s before we factor in the gorgeous gorgeous weather. I will go more in ‘26 for sure. Thank you marshals, well done fellow parkrunners and walkers.

Ah - ‘some of’ the Epstein Files have been released. Great - that’s what people have been demanding; ‘release some of the Epstein Files! Just the ones you feel like releasing!’
