I’m sad I only know of him as the upside down Buddy Holly from the Young Ones. Sounds like he was a top chap.

Jim Henson would’ve been 90 today. An absolute hero of mine. I remain gobsmacked that puppets crafted by his company feature in one of my plays. I like to believe that Chu Totoro’s blue fur is the same as Cookie Monster’s and that makes them cousins.

Chu (blue) and Sho (white) Totoro as operated by the kazego puppeteers of the My Neighbour Totoro company.

When the TV goes on the blink it no longer has a top on which to bang it. This is something else technology has robbed us of, as humans.

RIP to the magnificent Stephanie Cole. A sublime and protean talent. The priceless ability to project an icy cold or a beautiful warmth but with infinite depth and nuance. Go well amazing lady x

A very sad farewell to Stephanie Cole, queen of British comedy in every form. May an inexpensive charter jet fly her swiftly to her rest on gilded wings.

There's a wonderful moment at the end of the Elvis movie where Austin Butler under prosthetics looks considerably more like Vic Reeves than The King of Rock and Roll.

I’ve been diabetic since 1993. Today I started using one of the pump options. Which is connected to my blood sugar sensor to sort most things out. It also means for the first time in over thirty years I don’t have to give myself an injection anymore. Having a bit of a moment.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

There’s already research connecting the Shingrix vaccine to a significantly reduced risk of dementia. Now it looks like it might also significantly reduce risks of heart attacks and strokes. NHS it at 65 in the UK but you can pay privately & get it from age 50 www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Researchers say benefits of two-dose Shingrix vaccine could be comparable to taking daily blood pressure medication

As I came home tonight this huge spider tried to scuttle past me and remembering something on here I read recently I went to the kitchen and got it a Pringle lid full of water. It is now sucking that up. This spider has lived in my flat for ages eating flies, moths & stuff, without me ever seeing it
