Nye was brilliant. I did not expect to get so emotional. Michael Sheen gives a great performance.

Really interesting thematic history of Africa. Topics include female rulers, ancestor veneration and traditions of oral history. Enjoyed the links made to modern rap battles.

Really enjoyed 'The Life Impossible' by Matt Haig. His usual formula of an ordinary English life suddenly becoming confronted by a fantasy/Sci-fi experience.

Watched Civil War last night. Have been a fan of Alex Garland since he wrote The Beach. Great film, but left me unsettled that this might be a little too realistic.

Had a very engaging day at the Dora Love Holocaust Prize launch event at Anglia Ruskin University.
I would recommend to any school in the Essex, Kent or Suffolk area.

So sad to hear of the death of David Lynch.
I was obsessed with Twin Peaks as a teenager.
