Had a very joyful day exploring Electric Dreams at Tate - turns out the ven diagram of digital art and baby sensory is a single circle

Adam Dowling on BBC Radio Kent - "It was a privilege to have one of Britain’s finest actors as a grandfather" - BBC Sounds Martin Murphy remembers his grandad, the Kent actor Brian Murphy, who has died aged 92.

We lost my husband's beautiful, funny, kind, talented grandad, Brian Murphy, this week. Martin shared some of his memories with BBC and it's meant so much to see the outpouring of love from all the people who loved his work over the years. We'll miss you Brian

Nothing could be more perfect than Sarah-Louise Young, An Evening without Kate Bush as my first night out sans baby at Jacksons Lane. Perfection. Gorgeous. Heaven.

So fancy!!

Me too

Highlights included: funky camels funky dancing, worrying the angels might spin themselves offstage in a dizzy tornado, caesar telling everyone they had the passion of a wet fish in a bag, my husband having no idea what was going on until I explained... half way through the show 🤣

We're all drowning in admin while having the time of our lives!

Better than I could have imagined! They did a mashup Strictly Comes Dancing meets Nativity SHOW! Including a fabulous take on Craig Revel Horwood as Caesar. Iconic.
This is why I love primary school teachers ❤️

I'm OBSESSED with school Christmas festivities - it's nativity day, my kid had her part (& required costume) changed with one days notice, there's Christmas jumper day, Christmas Dinner day AND Christmas Fair day squeezed into one week, everything requires cash and pre bought tokens. We are LIVING

Christmas Comes to Moominvalley at Jacksons Lane was absolutely magical. Beautiful, delicate storytelling with circus and music woven throughout. We took a gaggle of kids (8 kids aged 3 months - 5 years - yes we are quite mad) and they all loved it! So proud of the team behind this show 🙌

Tomorrow is Moomins day at Jacksons Lane! Tomorrow is MOOMINS DAY

Wish I'd had this strength before battling my way through A Little Life #booksky

THERE IS GUYS!! My feed is about to be books, theatre, coffee and all things lovely with some strong climate and politics discourse thrown in for fun!

I've fallen into a deep deep black hole of coffee machines... so now I'm wondering... is there a #coffeesky community out there?

She's arrived!

OMG SCREAMING! 🤣❤️

Do meeeeee!!! (Please)

Very lovely booky community using #booksky

Welcome to bluesky @mrbrowse.bsky.social ❤️

So happy to have the purity of @themerl.bsky.social back in my world

The wheelers haunted my dreams for years! 🤣

This reminded me of his appearance in Return to Oz which was one of my favourite and creepiest movies as a kid!

Goodbye NCS. It’s been… weird. What next for young people? Reflecting on the last of the Big Society Boondoggles, and a future for youth work. Plus latest charity sh*tshow updates.

Just discovered the word BOONDOGGLE thanks to @barelycivilsociety.bsky.social.
Day. Made.
Also great writing about youth work, challenges, and government approaches here
