Arrrghhh. I don't envy you one bit. 28 years must feel like a wrench, no matter how much you're ready to go...and having the whole process feel like its in safe hands is another thing altogether! I wish you the very best of luck and hope it all goes as smoothly / without bumps as possible.

It'd likely have been a long old process anyway, with procrastination and panic along the way...just didn't expect a bonus 'housing slump'. Well...I kind of expected it. I just hoped it wouldn't happen. Lottery tickets a-go-go.

Great to have chatted with an estate agent earlier who grimly announced that we're entering a housing market implosion that will make 2008 look like a frolic in the path. Can't imagine what could have possibly lead us to this point. Beats me. I'm sure the billionaires will save us.

Oh, yes. The iconic 'Halloween Bear' that all the kids want to go as. With its "Wanky Wanky Wanky..." catchphrase, but no sign of the 'Halloween Toad' sidekick.

Clip on ears and a small hat, with a bow tie and microphone. Presumably this Amazon tat 'Halloween Bear' outfit is supposed to be Fozzie. Fuck knows. Its very much the least amount of effort one could put into a costume set that will be in the bin in under 48 hours.

Watching Poltergeist 2 for the first time since it was a regular in the Christmas schedules on BBC 1. It starts off with two of the worst matte paintings committed to film, and I love a matte painting…but boy…these are ropey offerings.

The doc that I watched last week is really good, but throughout it drifts Rospo Pallenberg, aloof and talking at all times like gold flows from his typewriter, and yet his hasty rewrite for the end was 'a punch-up on a bed', that just needs custard pies and knickers to be a Carry On film ending.

Watched The First Omen, which surprised me by being a rather superior sort of prequel / franchise addition. But I just can't get Exorcist 2 back out of my head. All of Boorman's struggles to make a film about the metaphysical, the essence of good and evil. And it ends with a punch-up on a bed.

Reading about that pro-ICE film being flung haphazardly together by fucking idiots in Montana. You can tell they're idiots by: a) subject matter b) plot synopsis c) they're not saving money by filming it in Kevin Sorbo's garage like all other right wing / god bothering nonsense.

I enjoy being stuck behind these monstrosities and watching them carefully avoid manhole covers, or very small potholes. Yeah. That's never been, and never will go off-road, and neither will it ever be full of anything remotely heavy or industrial save for shopping bags from the Zara outlet store.

Turns out I'm not in a 'you're wrong about a thing that is demonstrably true' replies mood. One looks like it was designed. By humans. With eyes. One looks like it was assembled as they went from things found in the shed. I don't care about the merits. I'm just saying THEY DON'T LOOK THE SAME.

Seems an insane starting point for a piece to compare a thing that looks very nice with a thing that does not. Does it present better in person, or does everything look very 'borrowed' about it?

Once upon a time this story would just be written ABOUT the low cost, well specced, quite clever, but bargain basement vehicle. But everything has to be a pitched battle these days.

Reading about the 'Temu Range Rover', the Jaecoo 7. A Chinese vehicle 'rattling' the luxury SUV market. The piece won't stop framing the vehicle as a direct competitor and won't stop comparing the looks inside and out. With the greatest will in the world. No. No it doesn't look like a Range Rover.

Wandering around the house wondering why it’s so damned cold this morning. Finally checked the weather. With the windchill it’s currently -1 outside. Which seems a bit unnecessary…

Progress at last. Everything sanded and masked off so I can do the legs. With breaks for nose blowing. Why won’t this cold and cough fuck off? I’ve done all the correct things: I’ve sat with my feet in a bowl of hot water with a towel over my head. I’ve eaten soup. Were sitcoms lying to me?
