I may be the last person on earth to be watching Breaking Bad. Just finished season 4 and I might leave it there - can’t imagine another season adding anything very satisfying to that finale.

Am I wrong?

@Richard_Littler first time I’ve heard the term ‘third stream’ - had to google! That Ornette album is superb.

First go at oil painting today, mainly trying to get the hang of blending paint for shading on the canvas.

“Eggs”

Couple more like potatoes but there you go. #oilpainting

About to collect and fit a new shower, the day before a bank holiday weekend. What's the worst that could happen?

Haven’t played much for a few weeks but back at it properly tonight. First gig in ages in April - time to get serious! #guitar #practice #P4tuning

@edgeofbreakup I do a lot of improv - on the fly tweakability is important to me and I reckon this fits the bill - tons of functionality without having to menu dive

@unfortunatalie took me by surprise. Claiming it was the Baileys making me emotional. *cough*

@edgeofbreakup serious gas for this pedal happening.

Ghost’s Christmas Special. Highlighted the amount of dust in this room. Ahem.

At last I’ve got time for my annual viewing of The Apartment. Maybe not the first Christmas film that springs to mind but it’s absolutely flawless. #ChristmasMovie #theApartment

MiniCoupey™ got an Echo Dot in his room this year.

Positive: He's able to explore and develop his own music tastes.

Negative: He's listening to Coldplay.

As is my tradition, I watch the most lauded horror film of the year while doing my Christmas wrapping.

This year it was #Barbarian. Found the first 45 minutes almost unbearably tense but then it increasingly descended into silliness. First half 9/10, second half 5/10.

An evening of wrapping and what I can report to you is that the clear version of Sellotape smells and tastes revolting. No-brand version was fine.

Icy train to the metropolis of Birmingham. There is coffee and a Radio 4 George Smiley dramatisation though so I’m in a happy place.

The Cure on top form in Leeds last night. Just the usual 3 hour, 27 song affair.

Of course, I'll never keep this up but I like to pretend for the first couple of days at least.

I just completed "Calorie Counting" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2022 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1

@Pandamoanimum the festive squirrelling instincts have definitely kicked in here. I see you @Dicoupey 😛

December. The month where mums all over the world start hoarding copious amounts of food they never normally buy but won't let anyone eat any of it because "It's for Christmas.”

Band rehearsal day is a good day.
