Enna & Lee’s posts appearing next to each other in my feed, both mentioning the band Calexico, who you don’t tend to hear about so much these days. Well, unless it’s Lee or Enna, I suppose.

Back sorting through my old childhood stuff again & have uncovered this vital survey from when I was… 8? I believe I instigated the poll, expecting He-Man to do better (it got my solitary vote) & was devastated by the outcome.
A bar graph depicting the results of a poll conducted in my primary school (or First School, as we call it in Newcastle). The title is: “Graph to show which television programmes people like best in class 5”. The results are: Robin (3), He-Man (1), A-Team (3), Street Hawk (12), Fall Guy (1), Summer Wine (5)

TMNT II: The Secret of the Ouse. Stopped by one of my favourite spots on Earth, capitalising on the weather being “quite nice”. Thought maybe I might catch a glimpse of Kristin Hersh off to soundcheck at the Cluny, but this has not happened.
Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne. In shot: The Cluny, Ship Inn, Ouseburn Farm, Byker Bridge, Metro bridge. It is a nice day, some clouds but a bright blue sky.

Someone in charge of organising the films in BFI Player taking a leaf out of the Nev Clay rhyming book…
Two films in the BFI Player’s Recently Added to Subscription section, as they currently appear listed in the iPhone app. On the left is “I, Daniel Blake”, on the right is “My Favourite Cake”

Visiting parents with the specific goal of helping clear out all my old stuff from the loft, but yeah that might be an impossible task. Behold this impeccable 80s childhood!
A selection of Panini sticker albums from the 1980s I had as a kid, salvaged from my parents’ loft. They are: Short Circuit, Back to the Future, Transformers, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Masters of the Universe (cartoon), MASK, The Real Ghostbusters, Masters of the Universe (film), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Marvel Secret Wars, Return of the Jedi. Only a few are complete, which I will have sent off for to get the last missing ones. 3p per sticker!!

Congrats to the Oscar winning Cafe Oto piano!!!
The Cafe Oto grand piano (covered up at the end of a day) on which, I believe, some of the score for The Brutalist was recorded

I appear to be in a Kubrick film
Finnair lounge at Helsinki Airport. White walls & ceiling in a wide angle shot. There is one of those 60s egg chairs and half a glass of milk on a table. It’s a strange mix of the Korova Milk Bar & the room at the end of 2001.

Ah, my old pal Bill…
A sealed Jek Porkins Star Wars figure, signed by the actor who portrayed him, William Hootkins, with the added personal message “Yo! You guys are cool!” addressed to some of us who worked with him on the play Hitchcock Blonde.

Current vibes: furry pal on my lap, Autechre on the wireless.
My cat Daphne (a tortoiseshell) curled up on my lap on top of a blanket. She is relaxed and sleepy and looking at the camera.

Well, what absolutely lovely people @radiuswindshields.bsky.social are! A very nice surprise. You can’t have enough of their cable straps… Thanks & Merry Xmas to you all too!
A Christmas card from Radius Windshields. The front depicts half of an Alto blimp that resembles a Christmas pudding, complete with a sprig of holly on top. Inside the card: It has been signed by all the Radius staff and came with two free black cable straps (one long, one short) and a discount code (obscured by the straps)

Another great Boundaries festival and weekend of Sunlun/Toon good times/good people etc. Congrats @grassi.bsky.social on the slickest running edition yet! Here is a picture of one highlight, Arnold Dreyblatt in action, but by no means is he wholly representative of the entire line-up…
