Some lovely stuff here. Definite Christmas shopping opportunity, that will give you a warm thrill by supporting a lovely Indy seller.
It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.
So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

Rewatching this on iPlayer (even though I own it on BluRay - shut up) and it is always funnier, darker and more abstract and ambitious than I remember. It’s not perfect but it’s partly the imperfections that make it beautiful and unique.
Great news - one of the best mini-series ever with a dazzling & eccentric screenplay by Troy Kennedy Martin & superb direction by Martin Campbell is back on iplayer.
If you haven’t seen it then you’re in for a real treat.
Come for Bob Peck, stay for Joe Don Baker.

Well, my dad did meet the Krays once. In a pub in Islington in the 50s when he was waiting for my mum before they were married. They had the best suits he'd ever seen, he told me.

I mean, it would be ridiculous if Elston Gunn or Blind Boy Grunt turned up as a last-minute guest wouldn’t it. But he’s done more ridiculous and unexpected things, so who knows?

We watched the new(ish) Mission Impossible. Brave choice to have absolutely nothing happen in the first hour but the rest was okay. And the biplane chase was great, but not as good as this.

I'm entering my 60s and the one constant throughout my life has been the nasty, divisive influence of the Daily Mail on society. I think it has been a debilitating malady infecting our nation and should be dismantled.

Be grateful. Express that gratitude in tangible ways. Forget about those who promised to help but never really did. They may have meant well. Hug the ones who showed up. Remember their names.

More Noakes insanity. Top fact (literally): when he was doing his naval training, @andrewmale.bsky.social and @kmale.bsky.social’s dad was the Button Boy.
There’s an earlier Noakes untethered climb to the top of a mast that also scares the bejesus out of me.
