Having a blast from the past this morning. I’m having a quick coffee at the Bridge Café. I used to be a regular here in the pre-pandemic days, when Journalism.co.uk held its training courses here.

I’m off round to corner to run an in-house training course, but it’s nice to revisit the past.

A cozy café features eclectic artwork on the walls, mismatched chairs around wooden tables, and a counter displaying a menu.

Feeling pretty good about the dinner I put on the table for my family this evening.

A plate of grilled chicken salad topped with fresh greens and herbs is served on a wooden table.

Fun guys to hang out with in the woods.

My daughters have watched this three times. The album is on repeat. It’s the cultural phenomenon of Summer 2025.

It’s Golden.

Promotional poster for the animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters” showing three stylish female characters in bold, futuristic K-pop-inspired outfits. Each holds a glowing weapon, with dynamic poses and confident expressions. Text reads: “Netflix’s most-watched original animated film of all time – K-Pop Demon Hunters.” The background is a cool blue with floating light orbs.

Shooting interviews at a local swimming club, which isn’t at all acoustically challenging… 😳

Rebellious gull.
