Yay for representation on #TheTraitorsUK! So powerful to see myself โ a cuddly bespectacled bag of nerves with hyperhidrosis, a voice that carries, an inability to lie, and a suspicious manner when with secret. Oh, Alan. Hope you packed Mitchum and Propranolol #CelebrityTraitors
Oh, and if you're disappointed that the Saturday 11 October 6.25pm showing of Seeds is sold out โย that's down to me. I got the last available ticket.
Sorry you missed out, but also luxuriating in smug delight.

The queue was long, but the website experience swift and seamless. Missed out on a ticket for the Chloรฉ Zhao screen talk (was always going to be a long shot) and couldn't grab one for The Mastermind at a time that worked for me, but landed everything else I'd wanted. Result. #LFF

One of these years Iโm going to get assigned a really good spot in the London Film Festival ticket queue.
This, however, is not that year.

OK, youโre finally all with me in Club Make the Last Stage a Proper Race Rather Than a Procession Followed by a Sprint, right? #TDF2025
#TDF2025 is nearing its end, which makes me sad, and so too is UK free to air coverage, which makes me sadder, but I do have the strong analgesic that is impending freedom from adverts for the Ryobi cordless hedge trimmer. #SilverLinings
New ambition: to negotiate Vanessa Kirbyโs #FantasticFour press tour terms for any film+pregnancy sequel. Sheโs done this two week, three continent and a heatwave tour with such grace and style, but next time itโs Zoom, pyjamas and me pushing for comped Skechers Arch Fit Slip-Ins

Phillies debut the โColdplay Kiss Camโ.
Wait for itโฆ
If that had been scripted, you would have told the screenwriter theyโd perhaps overdone it on both the subplots and plausibility. What a stage ๐คฏ #TDF2025
Got myself a baby boy to watch #TDF2025 with. Here he is shortly after arriving home, surveying everything he now commands. (Namely: my heart.)
Already an excellent napper. Good boy. Crucial skill for any dedicated Tour viewer.
Yes, he does look like an otter in the last picture. Frankly heโs leaving no stone unturned in making me fall in love with him. #TDF2025
I am loving #Matlock on #SkyWitness more with each passing episode, and becoming ever-more intrigued by its central mystery โ why Kathy Bates holds a mobile phone to her temple rather than to her ear.
(Honestly, Iโve become obsessed by this. I have endless questions.)
Of course no Tour de France sponsorship ident can EVER beat Kronenbourg Seize Cent Soixante Quatre, sponsor du Tour de France ๐ #TDF2025

Snap judgement on Lloyds' sponsorship ident for this year's @itvcycling Tour coverage: poor. I mean, it's not Watchfinder but nor is it ล koda's flawed but clever effort from last year (neutral support NOT in directors' cars!) or their beautiful cartoon from 2015. #TDF2025

"You just can't win the Tour without a strong team," Ned and David sensibly explain as the first stage of the #TDF2025 gets underway. I mean, yeah, but also...
Not an ideal setup for day one of the #TDF2025, and supposedly the first day of my summer holiday, but still got goosebumps as the @itvcycling Tour theme tune began. On y va.
