BEST FILM I SAW IN THE PAST WEEK

You bewdy, Liverpool!

As an LFC fan since the '80s (my cousins got me into them after returning here from the UK), there have been plenty of highs. That doesn't make winning a premiership any less of an achievement. Well done to Arne Slot and the boyz!

Medicined

Got my annual flu vaccination. Before me, a family of five were obviously getting their shots. Heard crying from behind the GP's door. "That'll be the youngest lad," I thought. Then cheering and clapping. When the door opened and the family exited, said kid was happily clutching a packet of lollies.

Went to the supermarket on the way home. In the carpark, an older gent with a long white beard walked over, gesticulating. Was he gonna have a go at me for wearing a mask? Quite the opposite! He merely wanted to recommend using antiseptic surface spray on the hands as superior to sanitiser gel. I thanked him for the (rather extreme) tip.

Rewatching: Ken Burns' magnificent 1990 "Civil War" docoseries for the third time.

Same, same

Was at the grog shop with Mum. In front of us was a bloke about my age, also accompanied by his elderly mother. They were bickering about little things just the way we do. I distinctly heard him say, "You're the only one who drinks that!" Am still smiling about it. Some things are universal.

Coolness

COMIC COVER OF THE WEEK

By Dave Johnson. Playfully nostalgic.

SONG OF THE WEEK

"Somebody New" by Tunde Adebimpe. Off-the-wall (and into-the-disco) brilliance.

Happy Easter!

Had my first buttered hot-cross buns of the holiday period for breakfast. There's a rocky-road chocolate rabbit chillin' in the fridge, ready for Sunday. On the religious front, I recommend the latest episode of history podcast "The Ancients", about the mysterious and problematic (for The Church) figure of John The Baptist. Fascinating stuff.

Religion, conspiracy and belief in the world of Indiana Jones

...would be a decent thesis if I had the time to write it.

Am too, ahem, busy smashing Season 10 of "Landscape Artist Of The Year" (strong field!), S10 & 11 of "Digging For Britain", rasslin' (NXT Stand & Deliver and WrestleMania 41 this long weekend!). Korean cooking shows, "Black Doves" (silly), footy matches and game playthroughs on YT.

Such is liff.
