My goals as a young man back then were
simple, and shared by the majority of youths of that cohort,
in that I pursued a modicum of artistic success and a never
ending supply of opera, preferably Puccini, preferably his
later work.

I remember the first Beacon code I made: the summer of 92 and I was volunteering at a topiary
firm in Verona.

I am a course leader at a university. Approximately 260 students on my course. All are technically adults. But quite often it feels like I am the father to 260 foster kids with the emphasis on *kids* πŸ™

The title sequence was a great oner. Must have been very tricky to choreograph

Continuing to fill in the gaps of my film watching resume.

Another Billy Wilder picture. I enjoyed it. Funnier than I was expecting. Swanson's performance was so OTT but so necessary

Train station pint. Is it better than a "larger while you wait for your curry"?

Anthony and I went to Malvern today and these tiles in the Priory Church are from the 15th century.

People who had learnt their craft, came up with a design and made these tiles with their hands. And these tiles are still here. Still beautiful.

All I could think was, β€œThis is what it’s about.”

I can now reveal that I was the performance capture artist for Jacob Elordi in Wuthering Heights. 8 months working with the talented WΔ•tΔƒ technicians, Emerald Fennell & Margot. I can't wait for you to see Heathcliff. A wonderful collaboration 🫢

Absolute plonkers at the Home Office for initially choosing an AI character in the first place. So much easier for alt-right trolls to exploit. Not a real person, so can't be accused of generating pictures of a real teenager
