Dry Cleaning @ Corner Hotel
2022 has been a pretty damn good year for live music, and an excellent gig from this intriguing post-punk band was a great way to cap it off.

I finally broke the three year-long dry spell, and travelled overseas for an incredible couple of weeks in Cambodia.
Quote of the Day – Travel
“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
— Hans Christian Andersen
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.”
The Velvet Queen – Film Review
An evocative, stunningly photographed cinematic journey to the corner of the world rarely seen by humans, this is more than your typical nature documentary.
The Cat’s Lunch by Marguerite Gérard

National Theatre Live: The Seagull – Film Review
This was a very different trip to the cinema: I went to see a recording of Anton Chekhov’s stage play, filmed at the National Theatre in London and starring a couple of familiar faces including Emilia Clarke.
Constantine – Film Review
I haven’t seen this superhero/horror flick since I first watched it back in 2005 and thought it was mostly meh. I was pleasantly surprised when I gave it a second chance recently, and discovered that it’s actually much, much better than I remembered.
