What are you doing to celebrate #SirMichaelCaine birthday today?
Pop in to a Pie'n'Mash shop to celebrate.
He's 92 today...not many people know that

At a number of art galleries I make a point of revisiting old favourites, here 'A sergeant of the Light Horse' by George W Lambert at #NGV Melbourne, Australia.
Do you have any fave works you revisit?

Does it need a label to describe, such as 'Corporate Social Irresponsibility'?
How did we go from "companies should be more socially responsible" to "brands should have a purpose beyond profit" to "it's fine for billionaires to shut down the government over funding for children with cancer"?

The idea of #Essexwines has given me a thought that we should be encouraging traditional pie'n'mash shops to offer them as part of our campaign to obtain Protected Status

Friday evening wine.

An English Pinot Noir Rosé from Crouch Valley in Essex.

"The Heretics" is a project to champion wine from England.

Paired nicely with a paella.

As my dear old Uncle Len used to say, 'Enjoy yourself. Life's too short'. Make the most of the precious time, relationships, and togetherness you have.

I'm a great believer you can turn any journey into a creative odyssey. #Tramspiration in Melbourne, Australia used the tram as our classroom, like I do with the Tube in London with #Tubespiration
Turn mundane commutes into flights of fancy.

Are you a Tummler? Yiddish word for someone hired to get a party going - a great metaphor for community change activists.

Wonder what place in Britain has the worst/scruffiest taxis?
Pose question after @crosscountryuk.bsky.social train refused to go beyond Newport & resorting to taxi to get to my #Tummler workshop gig in Chepstow.
This cold, scruffy Newport cab would take some beating? Any worse?

#SteveMcQueen latest film #Blitz is both a timely rekindling of an inspiring story but also offers valuable lessons for today.
And just to think my Dad and his family were probably in their backyard shelter in this Luftwaffe pic.

Have you seen the film?

Celebrating the life of #JohnPrescott especially his cameo appearance in #GavinandStacey turning up at Nessa's wedding showed a deft PR touch.
Have there have been any better cameo performances?
