Indeed.

It's just been relentlessly grey...

Oh my god. An advert for spam!
Seems fitting after watching Michael Palin in Nigeria and Venezuela 🤣
Spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, spam, spam....

It was a very wet woodland walk today. Benji was not impressed. Good for the fungi, though! 🍂🍄🌧

Can't get used to these dark evenings. Feels like it should be 10pm...

Michael Palin in Venezuela.

" I'm 81. I shouldn't be here. I should be in bed!"

While standing behind a great waterfall.

I was a bit underwhelmed with Scarborough when I visited for the first time this year. Paying £240 for a hotel room in a very average hotel didn't help.
The Texas concert was great though and the crowd were lovely. Still...probably worse places to die. We all die alone anyway...or we want to.

Elizabeth Olsen believes she will die old and alone in a foggy English coastal town. Here are her options While promoting new film Eternity, the actor outlined a specific end-of-life scenario that should be cold, wet and include one cheese shop

The Smyths xmas advert is a kid finding out what his present is before xmas day? Is that right? I don't get it. Is that his mum with him? She wants him to find out? Doesn't this destroy the magic of xmas morning?

Catching up with Michael Palin in Nigeria.
Love Michael Palin!

I don't remember if I saw trailers for it. I have Odeon Limitless now so planning to see it again next week before it disappears from the big screen.
It got crappy reviews which is a shame.

Make the most of it!

Excellent. I saw a butterfly yesterday but didn't see what type.

Map of the UK with 14.4℃ highlighted at Bushy Park, Teddington, London. Labelled "Night of 5th-6th November 2025" and "Mildest Bonfire Night on record"

Bonfire Night 2025 was record breaking 🎆

Temperatures overnight only dropped to 14.4℃ at Teddington in London, provisionally making it the mildest Bonfire Night on record

The previous record for the night of 5th-6th November was 13.9℃ at Gordon Castle, Scotland, in 1938

Apparently to get Pandora jewellery you don't have to pay. You just pass a note saying what you want. You don't even have to say please.
Christmas perfume and jewellery adverts are idiotic.

A person walks through a green agricultural field using a spray wand attached to a chemical container, applying herbicide to crops. Overlaid text reads: “Preventing global use of toxic herbicides.” Below, a quote asks what the government is doing to stop international use of paraquat and other herbicides banned in the UK, through diplomacy and scientific cooperation. A circular headshot of Natalie Bennett, labelled “Green Party Peer,” appears near the bottom, with the Green Party logo beneath.

If a chemical is too harmful to use here, it shouldn’t be used anywhere.
I’ll be asking the government what steps it is taking internationally to prevent this.

I really liked Tron:Ares
It had a nice 80s vibe with a super soundtrack and great visuals especially during chase sequences.

Why the anger with Billie Eilish? Because it’s against the rules to say what we all know about billionaires | Zoe Williams The singer is giving away millions – but the parameters for criticising the super-rich are very narrow, and hardly anyone qualifies, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

When Zac Goldsmith is making more sense than Labour you know something has gone horribly wrong.

I am in a village and they are bad enough.
I loathed it in London.
Poor puskins

Apparently it's Christmas. So many adverts.
Also huge Xmas tree in hotel where I was last night. I had almost managed to block it out but scowled at it this morning.

I should be boycotting U as they dumped new Red Dwarf.
No more scripted comedy they said after Doug Naylor was 2/3 through writing the script. I really enjoyed Promised Land and would have liked to see the proposed script come to fruition. Sounded all wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

Elementary now streaming on U. Can't recommend it enough.
Takes a few episodes to find its footing and if you are dead set against procedurals it might not be for you but I love JLM as Sherlock and the cases are rarely if ever straight forward.

I will be approximately £270 in credit by the end of this month & for the 2nd time in a few months Octopus is saying they are going to up my direct debit.
Just stop it! It is stressful. If things start going wrong I will change something. Don't you expect slight negative balance by February anyway?

Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

The ‘pavement vigilante’: why Cameron Roh is naming and shaming bad walking etiquette He films people breaking his self-created ‘laws’ of street decorum and posts the videos online – with many viewers expressing their gratitude. So watch out if you’re rushing along on your phone or wheeling a small bag that could be carried ...

The ‘pavement vigilante’: why Cameron Roh is naming and shaming bad walking etiquette

Anyone who's tried getting anywhere on foot in London should understand this unless they are one of the perpetrators. Increased presence of scooters/bikes obeying no rules. People living in their own bubbles, no awareness of others. He might be adding to the problem though & making things more toxic
