Watched Carrie, thought it was pretty decent. I couldn’t have Carrie’s powers though. My list of enemies for various small slights is so large I’d be spending the rest of my time exacting revenges, for example, on that guy who didn’t wave back when I let him in at a T junction.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

That Haaland seems like a nice bloke. While all this turmoil is going on I might sneak an offer in for him. If successful, we shall sit in a field and do the vking rowing thing and then I will release him into the wild so he may fly free, back to the home of the Haalands.

If I was Man City I’d change my name. So when the officials came knocking with punishment I’d be like “who us? No mate, we’re Brian Cloud Sky Blue…er…FC. Man City moved out years ago.”

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Daughter has just sent me the first 88 pages of a book she’s been writing on the quiet. Her creativeness never fails to surprise me.

I’ve been for a long walk in the rain. I’d say this accompanying playlist was apt.

The EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE saga has sold more than 1 million copies in English worldwide. To those who believed - the booktubers and tokkers, the booksellers and librarians, the tattoo-having zealots and the newcomers who just liked it and told a friend - thank you. To those who didn’t? 😘

Currently having a new bathroom installed so for a couple of days I’ve been giving my self a jolly good flanneling at the kitchen sink and it’s taken me back to childhood memories of sitting on the draining board with my feet in the sink having my legs scrubbed by my nan.

For the first time ever I witnessed a phone snatcher being chased by the phone’s owner, who was catching up. This led to said thief dropping the phone in order to avoid a shoeing from his much bigger, faster, furious pursuer, who retrieved his phone. Felt like I was watching an episode of The Bill.

Saw a dead fox this morning. It was lying on a grass verge next to the pavement I was walking on. Just a yard from the road so I assume it got clipped by a car. It was unmarked and lying perfectly on its side. Recent demise too. Made me pretty sad for the rest of my walk to work.

For those without retina saving glasses, you can safely view the eclipse using the following tips: 1. Wear a wheelie bin over your head/shoulders and look up* 2. Put your big coat on back to front and put the hood up. 3. Dig an underground chamber, add electricity, watch on TV. *ensure bin is empty

I’ve just watched The Invite. A little film with just four actors (Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Wilde and Edward Norton. Very funny, very entertaining, very real, and proof movies dont have to be massive to be ace. 5/5

Well I watched The Last House on Netflix thinking it would be a decent sci fi horror and what I got was a badly scripted badly plotted, bad bad bad piece of shit movie that had no right to be made. It’s as if AI was asked to write a film. Avoid. 0/5.

The older I’ve got the softer my insults have become and I find myself using “moron” and “dimwit” quite often. However power is added by my use of “fucking” as an adjective. That power will never diminish, regardless of insults. Fucking dimwits. No, not you, them *points*

Watching a spin off of that Yellowstone show and I’m thinking if the Yellowstone philosophy was used for every thing that was slightly off I’d be saddling up with rifles in hand to deal with an Amazon delivery going to the wrong house, when council tax goes up or canvassers knock at the door.
