The Salt Path. Our household is a bit in love with both Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Beautifully shot story of a couple who lose everything and find themselves homeless and set out to walk the South West Coast Path. Anderson in particular is amazing - resigned, heartbroken, determined.

Bank holiday cinema trip to see The Phoenician Scheme. Extremely Wes Anderson film by Wes Anderson. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Help yourself to a hand grenade.

Bit of a backlog. Trip in May to the Harold Pinter Theatre to see Giant. Really enjoyed this exploration of when criticism of Israel becomes anti-semitism. Thanks to @naomialderman.bsky.social for posting about it’s return as I’d missed the first run.

Another bank holiday weekend trip to the cinema, this time to see Alex Garland/Ray Mendoza’s Warfare. Considering it is told entirely from the point of view of the soldiers I felt it very successfully conveyed the utter disastrous folly of the second Iraq war. Very gory (accurately so).

Trip to the cinema to see Sinners. The racial politics of vampires: discuss. Could have done with a script editor but it was cracking fun, music editing was fantastic and of course marvellous costume design.

Trip to York on a gloriously sunny day to see Gary Oldman in Krapp’s Last Tape. Beckett plays are not exactly cheery are they? Also the A19 is full of absolute arsehole drivers.

Another trip to Middlesbrough Town Hall for a farewell concert - musical director John Forsyth has retired. Cleveland Philharmonic Choir for Ritter’s Magnificat, Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music and Mozart’s Requiem. Brilliant night with fantastic performances.

Surprise (because I forgot we had tickets) midweek night out - Northern Sinfonia at Middlesbrough Town Hall. Beethoven, Dvorak and a premier by a bloke who’s name I’ve forgotten already.

Black Bag: I expected a stylish spy thriller which is what I got. I didn’t expect it to be so funny? Also their house looks like they won it in an Omaze prize draw.

Alto Knights: Enjoyable if formulaic De Niro vehicle about mid-century Mafia shenanigans. Wardrobe design deserves special mention, even the changing fashions in ties are observed. As is always the way with films about the Mafia, the food looks magnificent.

I watched Parasite in a nearly empty cinema just before lockdown. Bong Joon-Ho’s latest feels like a hugely topical satire on American politics and evangelical religion as well as being a cracking sci-fi. Naomi Ackie and Robert Pattinson are both fantastic. Go and see it immediately.

Brief interlude to recommend the tiny bookshop that also serves coffee in the basement level of Leeds Corn Exchange. A “curated collection” of mainly women writers.

A Real Pain. I loved this film, it’s so gentle and profoundly moving. Kieran Culkin is amazing. I also needed a pee for most of it enabling me to empathise with the profound discomfort of having to travel with such an annoying lovable relative.

Trip to Bruges and the €33 unlimited museum access ticket is a bargain. Enjoyed Closer to Memling at Sint Jans Hospitaal, even if all the women have the same face.
