Watched the film Birdy for the first time in 40 years and despite the presence of Nicholas Cage, it’s a very decent movie

Great poster design for forthcoming experimental music shows at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket gallery. If you don’t live in Edinburgh, those huge yellow structures have been dominating the Leith skyline for months

Saw Kathryn Joseph with Lomond Campbell last night at Dunbar Parish Hall. Not sure what the bible-bashers would have made of her ‘songs about fucking’ but I thought she was on top form

The Sea Starts Here. I thought I was observant of the world around me but it was only today that I noticed the gully gratings round our way all have this logo on them. It’s part of a drive to clear up our waterways by discouraging litter which ends up in the sea when dropped in the street

Just been to see The Cords, the living embodiment of all that is great about indie pop music. Took me back to the heady days of the Shop Assistants, Talullah Gosh and the Primitives. And at the cricket club on Leith Links, where our kids celebrated birthdays years ago, 5 minutes walk away. Blissful

Watched the 1931 Fritz Lang film ‘M’ last night for the first time. Unbelievably good, possibly faultless. Some images made me pause just to look and marvel. Almost 100 years since its release, few films are as good as this

Yet more glorious Yorkshire water - the River Wharfe channels through the Strid by Bolton Abbey. Bonus toad for good measure. It’s a stunning area and further north, Wharfedale is possibly the most beautiful part of the UK imho
