My partner back after his week in Iceland with delicious Icelandic chocolate and liquorice and this ace bag for me.

Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT

"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

Massively fun evening at #Uncanny in Edinburgh. Loved the stories and possible explanations. I am much more Team Sceptic and I love listening to Ciarán O’Keeffe with his rationality. @dannyrobins.bsky.social is a brilliant host and I covet Evelyn’s dress.

I love watching the BIG bands backstage before they go on like Metallica. The ones at the top. The attention to detail and staff doing anything and everything for them.

Watching two favourite films tonight, The Lovely Bones and Mission to Lars. The latter is particularly amazing and touching and funny with lots of Metallica in it.

Watching Green Book tonight. I love that film so much. I love Viggo too in everything he does. Brilliant actor.

I loved the two recent classic horror films of recent times, Nosferatu and Frankenstein. Both gorgeous costumes and set designs and make up etc. can’t decide which one I preferred.

RustyVisage @rustyvisage.bsky.social · 3d

I liked it a lot. Hard to pigeon hole. Not really a horror film.

I’m very much enjoying Frankenstein and he isn’t unattractive. 😅😅😅😅

Jesus Christ. A plane just flew over Murrayfield for the rugby that was 10 times louder than the Tattoo ones. I’m bloody shaking.

Watched two docs today on Andrew and Hurricane Katrina. Both make me sick. The powerful always pissing on the poor and needy and vulnerable. And you know what, we’ll still vote for them and bow and grovel to them. 😡😡😡😡

I love the simplicity of the theatre show. It’s mainly the lighting and sound that is so frightening.

RustyVisage @rustyvisage.bsky.social · 4d

Watching The Woman in Black. The film is ok but not a patch on the theatre show. I’ve seen it on stage about 6 or 7 times and it still terrifies me.

I’ve scoffed that in seconds. Must fast tomorrow. I feel a bit guilty. 🍰

I bought one of these chocolate and cherry choux buns from Cafe Nero today to take home and just tried a bit. OMG it’s exquisite.

Monday Edinburgh. 👻

RustyVisage @rustyvisage.bsky.social · 4d

OMG that’s so cute. I love a corgi.

She’s fantastic in TDD. I usually have tears pouring from laughing.

My mum used to make pork chops dipped in bright orange breadcrumbs. 🤢

Feel a bit guilty coming home for the day now as weather is glorious out- bright sun, blue sky and just a hint of cold. I should be walking along Portobello Promenade or something.

RustyVisage @rustyvisage.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah there was a record beating snowfall for October last week but it only lasted for one day!

My partner is sending me photos of Reykjavik cats right now. Gorgeous.

This not grabbing me as much as the last two I read, but it’s intriguing enough.
