Met Ciara, a 26-week-old Golden Retriever, from a litter of 10, seven of which survived. She was calm and gentle for such a young puppy. #DogsofMastodon #Dogs

[#]ParkRun this morning looked like an Anton Corbijn video for a late-period Joy Division track. But with more mud. #running

Finally! Having walked out of the last three theatre shows I’ve been to see, I’m so happy I’ve seen one I really liked: La Manékine at the Barbican, as part of the Mime London festival. https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2025/event/mimelondon-la-manekine

@priscillaharing Hi. Just been looking at your synth company. Fenix IV looks amazing. Luckily for my bank account you’re sold out. Phew!

I never use Microsoft products if I can help it, but I’ve been trying to help a relative with a major problem and fuck me what a pain in the arse 365 is.

[#]running First competitive half marathon today. It went really well. Really cold but no wind or rain, which made it easier. Managed to rein myself in for the first third, then pushed on a bit, and went all out at the end. The finish line was on a running track, so it was like the running equivalent of doing Paris-Roubaix.

On a train platform and a bloke comes along with a suitcase-sized Bluetooth speaker blasting out beats. It is 9am.

[#]LastFourWatched #Letterboxd

The Return – Crushingly dull telling of Odysseus’ return to Ithica. I bailed after 40 minutes and watched a Louane live show on French TV.

North by Northwest – So good. The suit! Martin Landau! Trains! (Eva Marie Saint is now 100, you know.)

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies – A really stupid translated title for this poignant Thai drama that evokes the likes of Kore-eda’s Still Walking, as a grandson connives to inherit his grandmother's house by helping her out in her last days. Great performances in a film that is somehow marketed as a comedy in the UK, and, while it has funny moments, will have you moist of eye by the end.

The Order – Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult excel in this based-on-true-life story of an FBI agent trying to foil a white power gang in the US. The tension ramps up but, sadly, the film descends into cliché in the last 20 minutes, which is really disappointing.

Does anyone know of a bakery that delivers pasteis de nata within the UK, not just local or pick-up? I mean one wise series you have used, not just Googled; I can do that myself. Thanks

Hmm, @TheBreadmonkey is unusually quiet this morning. I imagine he’s running a 5k to clear out the cobwebs after last night’s party. Yes, that must be it.

One thing I’m looking forward to in 2025 is possibly going to Hamburg and seeing MiniaturWunderland. I bet @girlonthenet would like this.
