Great list above, so many amazing choices. The end of Gallipoli is completely devastating in no small part due to the use of Albinoni’s Adagio

But my choice would be Khatchaturian’s Sabre Dance used brilliantly in Billy Wilder’s hilarious, fast-paced Cold War satire ‘One, Two, Three’.

Oh no, more sad news. We’ve lost yet another one of the greats. A unique and quirky talent who elevated every film she was in.

RIP Diane Keaton

In the queue @assaiedinburgh.bsky.social for #RecordStoreDay2025. Furthest back I’ve ever been, already round the corner onto Market Street.

Quite spaced out though so, if we scooched up, I’d be much closer

First time I’ve stood in the sun though, usually in the freezing shade 👍☀️

Saturday morning sunrise on Skye

One of the most beautiful places on the planet

Feeling very decompressed after a brilliant weekend on gorgeous Skye.

Well worth a visit if you’ve never been

Eilean Donan Castle by iPhone. No filter.

Stunning skies, beautiful location.

At the start of an amazing weekend on Skye.

With my sister at the Lyceum Theatre for a fantastic night at ‘Wild Rose’

Top recommendation!

Search for Snoop Dogg using the magnifying glass

Tap the three dots next to the Follow button

Tap ‘Don’t play this artist’

Sorted. You’ve dropped the Dogg

Happy New Year, BlueSky folks!

Here’s to a 2025 where the fightback against the darker forces of this world really takes off.

Goodness and decency have to win in the end! Just takes a bit of determination…

…and some Prosecco, clearly!

Happy Hogmanay everyone

Hope everyone has a great night whatever you’re doing, even if you’re heading to bed before the bells 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Here’s to a happy, fulfilled and funfilled 2025.

Keep fighting the good fight ✊

I, for one, am looking forward to moving through my stunning Italian cinema calendar!

Went to see the amazing Twilight Sad last night at the Queen’s Hall Edinburgh.

Just two band members but when you’ve got a guitarist like Andy and a vocalist like James, that’s all you need.

Great band, great gig.

This person/bot/dick is a right wing troll. Just block and move on. Don’t interact and give them the attention they clearly missed as a child

Just did a search and folk been flagging this one for a while it seems….

Definitely a #DontFeedTheTrolls 🧌 #BlockEm moment!

I have a goal, possibly an obsession, to see all the 3 to 4 star films (& as many others as possible) from the wonderful* Maltin Film Guides before I head to the great Blockbusters in the sky.

So, upon downloading shiny new TPTV app on my Firestick, now delighted to tick off Patterns (1956) XXX1/2

Had an amazing night in Glasgow at the Hydro last night seeing The Snuts with some of my best pals.

Top gig. The songs and performances were great of course, but the stunning backdrops, beautiful lighting and other effects were simply outstanding! Just so clever and inventive

Last year it was all My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore & All Time Low! Kind of cool stuff.

This year it’s almost all show tunes! 🤣

That’s what I’m calling the #FringeFanJohnny effect.

I was definitely obsessed with Hamilton when I saw it in February!

Lovely Sunday walk up to The Black Spout at Pitlochry.

So lucky to live in such a beautiful country as Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can’t quite believe this was so long ago.

Happy birthday, Doctor Who.

61 years young today!

Still my favourite TV programme after becoming a bit obsessed during the Peter Davison era

Ok, not gonna lie, it was a wrench leaving Twitter after 16 years.

It has been my favourite go-to social media/news site for such a long time.

But, feel a genuine lightness to leave the trolls, bots and haters behind.

Definitely looking forward to starting anew under a Blue Sky
