Its like a fever dream. Just a throw everything on the board, don’t even wait to see if it sticks, throw more.

First streaming devalued the artform by making movies into always available clickable videos and that devalues the people who make them and eventually those who write them.

I saw Mulholland Drive on the last day of my high school, on a day of endings and beginning, and nothing felt the same again and everything felt like it was ahead of me. David Lynch was a magician, a dream catcher who pulled from our collective unconscious.

Has everyone seen Gregg Wallace's My Saturday, from the Telegraph earlier this year? It went viral on the other site. Still worth reading.
![5am
I wake up at the same time every morning. I'll read for an hour - right now it's A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - then I'll make myself a coffee and check emails. I'll also look at the sign-up numbers for my health programme.
7am
I work out five days a week. I'm down at the gym half an hour before it opens. They let me in earlier, so I have a swim and sauna by myself. Then I'll review my to-do list while walking on a treadmill, no sweating. I aim for 50,000 steps a week - I do about 7,000 a day. I'm now 12 stone [having lost five stone] and I have less than 18 per cent body fat and a six-pack, but I have a belly that bloats. I guess we all have our imperfections.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2cadvbwpkxtuvmv2gpy5laml/bafkreicpdj4oip5qs6tcdzyw2tltjpx2diz6pvpdslkkpff35kv3peyjea@jpeg)
![10.30am
Meet my PA Helen at the local Harvester for breakfast - bacon, sausage and fried egg. People say to me, 'I didn't expect to see you in here.' Look, they do grilled chicken, there's a salad bar, and I've never been disappointed. It's all about expectation when it comes to food.
I've regularly been disappointed in three-star Michelin restaurants around Europe but never in a Harvester. I manage MasterChef filming, my wellbeing business and now there's also my new health and well-being podcast, A Piece of Cake. I love chatting to the experts, but I'm quite the expert too, having been journalling, manifesting, goal-setting and reading self-help books for years.
12pm
Back home for lunch, which my wife Anna [Anne-Marie Sterpini] will have ready on the table. Her white bean soup with a crust of bread is a family favourite.
1.30pm
I like to spend time with my four-year-old son, Sid, who's non-verbal autistic. He used to be in his own world but he's starting to seek company and show eye contact. We'll potter in the garden and play with our two dogs, Wally and Bella.
I'm a much better father now I'm older, although another child isn't something that I would have chosen at my age. I was always very honest with Anna, but it's what she wanted and I love her. I just requested two things - that we had help in the house (so her mum moved in), and secondly that we had at least one week a year when we holidayed just the two of us.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2cadvbwpkxtuvmv2gpy5laml/bafkreif5e334ovhhoaewq5kz4kg5yezsm575v5g3gya55pzywter6nrzyq@jpeg)

Today in "Wait, WHAT?" I learned that Gene Wolfe — recondite, abstruse SF/F author Gene Wolfe — invented the machine that makes Pringles potato chips. It's on the company's own FAQ, which also implies his signature mustache may have inspired their ad mascot. www.pringles.com/en-us/faq.html

Maybe Stuart Turton’s 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (mix of sci-fi/golden age mystery/game theory), China Mieville’s The City and the City for detective. Reading Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone which is pretty self reflexive on the genre.

The blocking is wonderful here and its all done with the two not even moving, just the daughter moving in and out of frame.

I think most people are very happy when indie films find a home in streaming: any recovery and discoverability is great! It’s bizarre though that I can’t see the new David Fincher film in a theater near me.

If golden age mysteries are your jam, John Dickson Carr is great for locked room mysteries. The Hollow Man is a good place to start. Christie is great for fair play whodunnits, you can’t go wrong with any from her first decade of writing.
