Drank a really enjoyable few pints of this after work yesterday. I’m going to pretend that I could tell the ‘oak cask difference’ πΊ
The camera on the iPhone 15 Pro is outstanding. Snapped this outside the pub last night

You throw a shot driving through the desert in a movie and Iβm going to stay invested. This film rocked
Movie Log πΏ: The Day After Tomorrow, 2004 - β β β
I remember the CGI looking an awful lot better than this
Another weekend well spent in the French Alps. Have my legs ever been this tired?
I’ve only gone and cracked it. an IFTTT-free solution for getting new reviews from my Letterboxd account onto my blog. Could be the start of something good ππ»
Movie Log πΏ: Dune: Part Two, 2024 - β β β β
Well all that build up in the first film wasnβt for nothing. Watched in IMAX and was blown away by the soundscaping in this film
Nearing the end of a very draining week. Iβve got some good progress on my IFTTT replacement to try and finish this weekend. Hoping I may be able to turn it into something any micro.blog user can use
Hello World!
If everything goes well, then I’ve posted my first micro.blog post through a new app I’m building to avoid paying IFTTT money. I’ll shout a bit more about it when it’s closer to ready!
Seems IFTTT have made webhook applets a pro feature. Might be the kick I needed to create a mega-syndication app that will get everything I post elsewhere onto my blog for me
It’s a beautiful evening. I left work in daylight today! Summer might actually happen again
Weβre building up to the time of year that Glastonbury announcements are made. Delving through my favourite artistsβ tour dates in search of a gap

The balance of comedy and suspense here is just perfect. Marvellously made

Nearly a week since turning 30. Quite the party thrown, complete with harrowing bunting. Those faces keep popping up and haunting me!
πΏ Movie Log: Reprise, 2006 - β β β
I can totally see this as related to The Worst Person In The World. It felt similarly made. An enjoyable watch
πΏ Movie Log: All of Us Strangers, 2023 - β β β β Β½
Is this one of the truly saddest films of all time? Quite possibly. A swirling tale of loneliness. Brilliantly made.

ΒΏQue necesito empacar para mi viaje a Chile? Lo sΓ©, Β‘solo cigarrillos!
People sure did smoke in the 70s. Harrowing film though, wonderfully told and an incredible feat of survival.
Another week spent in the beautiful French Alps. Fantastic weather, great skiing. Even better food and booze! I am now, however, the most tired man on the planet π€
Lovely snowy morning in Manchester today. Currently packing to go skiing, took a lot of willpower not to get my skis out in the garden πΏ
πΏ Movie Log: Leave the World Behind, 2023 - β β Β½
The book was a really great read but this movie has made a couple of pretty weird changes that killed it for me. We had a lot of fun with spinning cameras too
πΏ Movie Log: Priscilla, 2023 - β β β Β½
I cringed a lot watching this film. The sheer creepiness of it was hard to take. I felt incredibly sorry for Priscilla. Groomed and prepared for a life before she really even knew who she was.
Listened to Zane Loweβs interview with Brandon Flowers today and really enjoyed it. The music nerd in Brandon really shows. Hyped beyond belief to see them in Manchester in June πΆ
I am one calendar month from my thirtieth birthday. No existential dread yet, but I reckon itβll come π¬
