Love a recommendation, you never know what you might find or see. It may be something you may never of thought of watching or reading before.

Abbott Elementary is excellent if you haven’t seen it :) Also something completely out there but a lot of fun is the movie Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar...

Definitely going to order the Amy Key book.

Yey, thank you Emma! I’ve been meaning to start Abbot Elementary. Thank you for the reminder 😁 Have not watched the movie either - sounds right up my street!

Abbott is a gem :)

Barb and Star is so much fun, a completely silly joyful experience and starring Kristen Wiig... what more could you ask for! Happy Viewing!

I like this roundup format too.

You and your multilayered mind and cabinets full of extraordinary ideas and thoughts, always seem to surprise me (:

Defo gonna watch The Great North. Thanks! Have a good week!

Oh thank you Iris! What a wonderful message to wake to :) The Great North is so joyfully odd and the colour palette in particular I find really uplifting - do let me know how you get on. Have a great week too!

My friend also recently introduced me to Frank Skinner's poetry podcast which I highly recommend. I get very excited listening to him getting very excited about poetry.

Also, your work on the Office is not done yet—there are extensive bloopers (all on YouTube) from every season, and they are my favourite bloopers from any show. I'm sorry and you're welcome.

p.s. I really like this roundup format. I'm going to experiment with one for my own Substack soon and will be taking inspiration! My other favourite is Tim Ferriss' 5 Bullet Friday which has provided me with tasty morsels for years now.

Hey Dan, thanks so much! But wait FRANK SKINNER HAS A POETRY PODCAST? Heading there right now!

The YouTube frenzy has actually already begun - if you can believe it, the bloopers are what got me watching it when I was still just dipping my toe in! Nothing brings me more joy than watching actors cracking themselves up. Rest assured I have at least saved from Season 5 onwards so will indulge myself shortly :)

Will also be hot footing it over to check out Tim Ferris offering too. Have great fun experimenting with yours.

Thank you so much for sharing, really wonderful to have you here :)
