A tale of two Bens. Ben McKinney scored a magnificent 140 this afternoon and Ben Stokes produced a fabulous all-round performance which saw Derbyshire fall to a heavy defeat inside three days’ play.

Eclipse 1999 from Noirmont Point in Jersey, looking across to St Helier. I don’t remember it being so cloudy, yet I do remember the song playing on the radio as we drove away was Why Does It Always Rain on Me? 🤷🏻

Watching a documentary about Kenneth Williams and this rather lovely photo of Michael Bryant (that I hadn’t seen before) popped up! 🥰

When great minds think alike and two people get you the same Shakespeare book nook model kits for Christmas you end up with the best bookends for your theatre programmes and magazines collection! 😍

The weekend wasn’t entirely as unexpected or hoped, but probably the best we could do given Mum’s dementia. Despite the cake arriving in a squashed box it is still delicious, and the cream tea hamper was worth the exploding yoghurt pot when I tried to hide the Roddas in the fridge.

Yes, I spent my Friday night colouring in this to quieten my noisy brain.

Who Do You Think You Are? but for bears so I can find out the origins of this little chap. I don’t remember ever not having him but my parents have no idea where he came from. Did he ever have a nose? Early 1980s.

Six years ago today I discovered a series of posts I had made where I recreated a scene from the film Outlaw King had been turned into a little video by the people behind the film’s social media account. They had dubbed in the actual voice of Stephen Dillane!
