"Andrzej Wajda’s films had an enormous influence on me as I began writing and directing. I had lunch with him at the National Film Theatre in London, after he had just made Everything for Sale, a film I loved. It was Wajda’s tribute to Zbigniew Cybulski, his friend and the star of Ashes and Diamonds, who died young. In Ashes, Cybulski plays a resistance fighter stranded by a sellout peace. His broodiness and manner seemed to mourn James Dean."

"I was turned onto this record—and to Firecracker Recordings in general—in London at Kristina Records, the best record shop I’ve been to in a while. The Panoram record rules. Really abstract and minimal like a lot of stuff coming out this year, but has this very melodic, positive, clubby, acid/’90s vibe to it as well that I really love. The subtle club vibe reminds me of when I was a kid. Super nostalgic and musical."

The protagonist of this book is Sofia Logan, a woman who suddenly lost her husband, and needs to learn how to survive in a very unwelcoming London, especially if you are a woman in 1905, and have two other mouths to feed. This book is told from Sofia’s perspective, and I really liked her as a character. The author is very detailed when it comes to Sofia’s thoughts and experiences, it is a blessing and a curse.

Good Gangster Film
Far from being in the same league as Goodfellas, Casino. However this is an enjoyable British film showing the rise and fall of an East London gangster getting involved in the drug scene in Spain. Set in the 80's with the typical fashion of the time but with a great soundtrack to boot. Quite violent, brutal and with a lot of swearing as well but an interesting story all the same.

Second and (currently) last of the Nic Cage starring National Treasure movies, with this particular one a bit more globe-trotting (US, Paris, London) than its predecessor and which sees the Gates family out to clear the name of one of their ancestors, who has just been implicated in the Abraham Lincoln assassination.

Cue more running about, following clues that (eventually) lead to another hidden treasure...

And no, I don't mean Dame Helen Mirren as Ben Gates mum.

This was a fantastic memoir about Parm Sandhu - the most senior woman of colour in the London Metropolitan Police at the time she retired. She’s clearly a woman with drive, determination and ambition. The discrimination that she had to deal with within the Met Police is both unbelievable and wholly believable (sorry, Met Police 🤷🏼‍♀️).
It was a book that flowed really well, and a quick read, even if it wasn’t an easy one in parts.
