Someone has given me their stinky cold, & because the cancer meds lower my resistance, I feel horrible. Was ok first thing at work yesterday, got more sniffy as day went on, last night rough, end up going to be early. Then slept till 2.30 this afternoon. So much for day out plans...

Gorgeous, large rainbow 🌈 glimpsed out of mucky train windows, to the north of Falkirk. It's near the Firth of Forth, which means a selkie has been born somewhere along that coast, according to ancient Scots folklore that I just made up (but rather like). #Rainbow #Scotland #Ecosse #photography

We decided to hold my Digger review until after the first wave of critical responses had gone up, so I would be free to "spoil" the early twist that basically sets up the film's premise. Rarely has such an unpleasant movie to sit through been such a blast to write about: slate.com/culture/2026...

Digger has a huge twist. It’s a disaster of almost apocalyptic proportions.
