YOUR POEMS Cheese by Annie Thompson I love cheese. Ilove cheese scones. I love cheese on toast. I love cheese with salad. I love cheesy jacket potato. love cheesecake. love a cheese sandwich. I love cheese quiche. Hove cheese. But my favourite of these is my very special home-baked cheese scones.
It’s at this point that we must seriously consider Annie for our next Prime Minister. She’s just saying what we’re all thinking.

A montage of Brigitte Helm (Maria / Futura)
#NowWatching Metropolis (1927 dir. Fritz Lang). This is James Fennel's restoration of the 9.5 mm version that I saw in 1988 at Otley Civic Centre. The absorbing, thoughtful score is by Neil Stringfellow, aka Audio Obscura @audioobscura.bsky.social
Really enjoying this.
You can still see a bit of the stage!

A Gibson Firebird VII against a pink background. You can just see that Phil Manzanera has signed his name on this CD.
Happy Friday 13th to all that celebrate. #NowPlaying Firebird VII by Phil Manzanera.

That said, the woman at Meanwood PO was very nice and helpful.
