A week or so ago a big pot was tipped over overnight in the garden. It had been windy overnight but the pot has a few bricks at the bottom so I thought it was unlikely to be that. I checked the camera that looks over the back garden and, well, can you see....?

Today is #Nationaltripletday and however you celebrate it I'd like to set you a quiz one of my triplets designed a few years ago. Conveniently it has 3 questions.
1) where did Romans be deaded and come back to life?
2) where does a skunk do a stinky tail?
3) how do you win a running cycle race?

Last night I went to a University of Sheffield awards ceremony where I was shortlisted for 'Rising Star' for my film Flow. I didn't win but on the upside I seem to have developed laser vision. #academia #sheffield
