We have been waiting 593 years for a total eclipse in Reykjavík and it is due to rain on Wednesday. What this means is that eclipses are probably not worth waiting for. We can all think of a few cricketing analogies to that.

No arrivals by small boats for the last 10 days now. As of yesterday, 12,469 people had arrived so far this year across the Channel, down over 11,000 (47%) on the same time last year. More than 10% down on 2023 as well, which was when crossings were, by comparison to other years, lower.

It’s Roger Livesey’s birthday. The Life & Death of Col. Blimp is a favourite film & it’s largely due to the brilliant performances of Livesey and Anton Walbrook as lifelong friends from warring countries. This scene is sadly all too prescient about our current situation: youtu.be/vb2AlCaY_gk?...

I've got no problem with the BBC spending the time and money making the ai avatars but they should have run a label over them saying either "look how shit these are" or "if you think this is ok, or worse believe they're real, then we're fucked".

May 1st 1973 - The island of Summerisle held their annual May Day celebration. Police Sergeant Neil Howie, who was investigating the disappearance of a child on the island, was invited to join in the celebration. 📽️📅 The Wicker Man (1973)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Wicker Man" (1973): First, a close-up of a calendar page for May 1973 with the 1st circled in red and a stag icon marking the date. Second, a group of people in colorful, folk-style costumes perform a traditional May Day dance around a maypole set among large standing stones. Third, a large wicker effigy shaped like a man stands on a cliffside as people with torches gather around it.

It's out in August, but the lovely proofs, with cover by Jim Kay, have just arrived. Repost before tomorrow (Sun) evening, and I'll pick a winner.
