They had the chance to play PIL ‘Rise’ on Pick of the Pops today. Instead we got Double ‘The Captain of Her Heart’.

I haven’t played this in ages. Now I remember why it’s one of my favourite albums.

In the final minutes of It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey gets to see what the world would look like if it was ruled by a malicious megalomaniac with no empathy and no concern beyond increasing his own personal wealth. Thank goodness that'll never happen.

I’ve been renamed Betty tonight by a patient. ‘Her name may well be Alex but I’m calling her Betty’.

Totally going with it.

Massive away win for the little fella.

I’ve ben looking at ‘Wicked’ Threads and BLOOMING HECK. And this is coming from someone who ‘sang’ Defying Gravity twice with a colleague on a night shift the other week, just so we both got to do all the parts.

I started using a new toaster 3 weeks ago and I still haven’t found the exact spot the dial needs to be on. I’m not even anywhere in the right zone.

I cannot wait to rewatch this (even though I’m out that night). I’ve not watched it for a few years.

Today is my last day in Ceredigion. It was a glorious day and I had the best pistachio ice cream.
