stick technique

 along with dance, if i had a degree of repeat in life, i'd include more drums. so tricky, so absorbing!

cinnamon rolls

i'm not going to lie, cinnamon rolls in english just doesn't have the same ring to it as kanelbullar but nonetheless this recipe is worth a go

henry VII

if you got thru last week's wars of the roses epic (i listened rather than watched and it worked well) then here's the natural successor (sic lol). i read thomas penn's winter king a while back and i never really got into it. i did get into this tho. that said with all the above you're not likely to walk away enamoured wiht the human condition!

to be honest, not what i was expected from this pair but equally i'll listen to just about anything with a gondwana label on it

jess hobbs

another one of these wee docos from ilford. community dark rooms are a rarity round these parts now. i remember not even twenty years ago i could locate one with ease. now, as far as i know, there's one that the local photographic club has but, beyond that, there's a privately run public access one about 40 miles away. plus, film is just expensive, and there's no two ways round that. that said, getting out, even with 'just' your phone is the easiest it's ever been. no excuses!

*i've not watched all of this in one go. you could, if you wanted to but where's the fun in that!

a true renaissance

behind the scenes with visma lease a bike on the 2024 tour. really quite an affecting wee doco. jonas appears even more grounded and poor old wout, in a team that couldn't buy luck this year, doesn't know what's coming. good watch
