A strange little film I made in 2010 about a mysterious, bearded man in the Arctic...

Devastatingly, there appears to be another moor fire. Presumably over Marsden way 💔

Apparently Dovestones, about 15 miles away. Footage being shared showing people setting off fireworks. Fucking fireworks. You absolute complete and utter cunts.

Loved @TheLateShows this year! So many brilliant openings and activities. Delighted to be part of spoken word in Gateshead, creating in Ouseburn and exploring @graingermarket1 after hours 😀 Plus amazing artwork from the sky!

Rita Moreno is one of just three people to win an Emmy for The Muppets, the other two: Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. The comedy timing during her performance of "Fever" while Animal attempts to railroad her is incredible. It was also done in one take "Dat my kinda woman!"

The Thing (1982) recreated with Pingu. A crossover that never stops being funny.

A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for @GuardianBooks
A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

Thanks to @NationalGallery and their loan to South Shields Museum and Art Gallery (@NE_Museums) I got to see Monet's version of a grey river in winter as well as our own Tyneside version. Monet's looked a bit more scenic and with a slightly less freezing wind blowing over it 😄

This clever poetic summary of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier was written by @penbee8 for Jesmond Library’s #Book2Poem January challenge.

Secrets and Lies Mrs de Winter, young, inept, comes to a house where secrets are kept. We never learn her name. Mrs Danvers, harking back to the past, says this marriage isn't as good as the last. Such a crying shame. 1/3 #Book2Poem #NationalYearofReading
