Been too sleepy to watch any more movies. And still haven't got to Rings of Power season 2. Our Babylon 5 rewatch is also currently on hold while we try to catch up with a mass of too much recorded telly in our Sky Q box.

I have been binge watching a lot of the early episodes of Glee. Which though cliched and corny is remarkably watchable. As a musical theatre fan I'm also happily there for all the songs shoehorned in. Martin hasn't strictly been watching it, mainly commenting as he potters around that "That sounds very weird!" But he did say tonight that having sat in for a bit more he can see how the format works, and is starting to appreciate it.

I'm also watching a lot of recorded panels/talks from the recent Cymera 2025 festival in Edinburgh of science fiction, fantasy and horror writing. Have already enjoyed panels including authors John Gwynne and Cymera regular T.L. Huchu. With many more to watch in the next 3 weeks or so while I still have access to them using my purchased digital festival pass.

Can't get over how slow the BBC Scotland coverage is at keeping up with results. They announced one very early result almost 10 minutes late. I am flitting between tabs on websites while occasionally dropping in to watch BBC Scotland or Sky News. Mainly keeping the Sky News tab open for an accurate election count so far (they're quickest at noting the changes) and BBC Scotland's live results text feed for reports from ongoing counts etc. I am especially keen to see what happens in my constituency, Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (new this year), Dundee Central and North East Fife.

Later I'll switch to the UK wide BBC News coverage as hopefully lots of Tory high heid yins lose their seats! I am sporadically eating Doritos (chilli heatwave flavour) and drinking creamy strawberry milkshake (Shaken Udder). May also have a cup of tea and a couple of Maryland chocolate chip cookies.

P.S. Though George Galloway out. Fab!
