I absolutely was not feeling it this morning, could barely drag myself out of bed. But I did! And I went to the gym and did a whole workout!

A shot of the moon above the Southbank Centre taken earlier this evening. The screens and lighting combined with the brutalist architecture make it feel very cyberpunk. A slightly closer shot of the moon above the Southbank Centre.

My left hand holding up a hardback first edition of Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch. Behind and to the right of the book you can see the sleeve of Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division and peeping over the top is the baby on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind. A sensible person would be going to bed right now, not starting a new book. 🤷‍♀️

A handwritten note.

There are 55 cans of Guinness in this fridge that neither I nor my colleagues have any way of taking with us.

Please don’t throw them away! Drink them! Give them to a friend! Leave them in the street! Do anything you like, but I ask you not to waste them. 

Thanks for your excellent service!

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025
Rob Paulsen - Voice Actor

I had the remarkable privilege to work with Tim a few dozen times.
Kind, generous, playful, naughty and a TOTAL pro. A couple years ago, at NY Comic Con, I was in the green room having lunch and Tim
came in in his chair. Of course, I was aware of his stroke, so l walked over knelt down and said, "Tim! It's Rob Paulsen. We
worked together on..." he looked me and said, "I know who you are,
you fucking wanker." It was like a blessing from the Pope. Utterly
unique. Unstoppable. A total star.

Like our Canadian friends, British kids in the late 80s were exposed to this little thing of delight, and it stuck in our heads for decades. It was helped by a couple of adverts for Hula Hoops that most of us have memory holed, but if you've never seen it, or haven't seen it for 35 years, do so.

Grimace in sunglasses looking cool as the other side of the pillow is poised at the open door of what looks like a corvette-like kit car. Xe(Grimace is non binary) has a full purple shake that rests on the roof of the sports car. There is a purple gel over the image. A low mist clings to the ground. Is this a dream? Or has this mythical badass been conjured? The song “I need a hero” is most likely blazing on xir am/fm radio.

@maryepworth.bsky.social took this photo of some cool clouds in Wales for you and as I was taking it a red kite the size of a small car swooped into shot. X
A shot of the sky in Caersws. There are a number of cool wispy clouds against the blue sky which look kind of like jellyfish. There are hills on the horizon trees in the middle distance and a hedgerow in front of a road in the foreground. In the sky is the silhouette of a large red kite in front of one of the clouds.
