This month marks a whole decade of work by of an organisation whose support & mentorship has been *invaluable* to parents/carers working in film & TV, me included. I hope one day they won't be needed anymore but till then, I'm wishing @RaisingFilms a very happy 10th birthday!šŸŽ‚šŸ¾.

A couple of weeks on from reliving the trauma of #Threads40 on its anniversary BBC screening, I've published my deep dive piece revisiting the film - and its vital & urgent ongoing relevance @ianmac67_SE @CNDuk @ByYrSide

Not sure I’m ready to watch this again but here we go. Anticipating feeling even more terror and horror this time around than the first time… #Threads40.

My sports-mad 10 yr old is getting the most out of our Discovery+ subscription before it’s cancelled next week delving deep into Eurosport’s offerings (teqball, petanque, biathlon). Just came in & immediately recognised the dulcet tones of @nedboulting - yes, he found padel šŸ˜„.

Warm & dry at home after a truly memorable evening of al fresco theatre chuckles with my 10 year old watching Jeeves & Wooster @BOATheatre. Massive props to the incredible cast from @TetheredWits who were hilarious & valiant in the face of the frankly ludicrous winds & rain šŸ¤£šŸ‘šŸ».

What a delightful way to spend Monday evening. I am *loving* the Brighton Festival Film Unit (and available if you’re hiring šŸ˜„) And an utter treat to see @BTTCOfficial (and some familiar faces) up on the big screen. Thanks to all involved - aren’t we lucky to live in this city!.

In all the years I’ve been coming to @DukeofYorks I’ve never sat in the balcony before - it’s great up here! Very much looking forward to a stimulating evening of GPO films with @brightfest @frankcottrell_b @davidshrigley

Big thanks @Lighthouse_BTN @DivideClass sound artist @Nervoussystem91 & the brilliant young people of East Brighton for creating/sharing this unique work. Check it out if you can! Better than the park according to my son 🤣#NeolithicCannibals (2/2).

Just took my 10 year old to the Neolithic Cannibals sound art exhibition in this year’s @brightfest - so great to experience our corner of the city in this way, thoughts of deep time (on my mind in relation to nuclear projects) mingling with visceral bodily vibrations (1/2).
