"When we were growing up, we had mutual friends. I used to go and watch them play at the Bug Bar in Brixton when I was 14… I remember them getting signed to Fiction and how exciting that was. I’ve still got one of their demo CDs, in a photocopied and stapled-together packet, which had their early song Latchmere on it. Latchmere was a swimming pool we all went to; it had a really good wave machine. That’s how their song goes: “Latchmere’s/ Got a wave machine.” When I watched the Maccabees play at Glastonbury this year, it was so moving – seeing all those random people singing their song back at them, about a little swimming pool that was a huge part of my youth. It took me back… I’d say they’re the most consistent band in the UK right now. Without fail, they deliver with their songs, and I find them very inspiring for that. They know who they are; as individuals, as friends, as a band. They’re lovely boys – and with their new record, Marks to Prove It, they had their first No 1 album."

When Susan Carol's swimming times start to drop, she becomes an Olympic athlete. Unfortunately, the new managers she's signed with are bugging her, and her dad doesn't seem to notice. Is there something more going on? Can her boyfriend, Steve, figure it out? The mystery was very, very slow to get going in this book. Plenty of conflict, but hardly any mystery. And when the mystery started, it felt rushed.

They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” but further to that, I think it takes a worthy cause to build a community. Libby Page’s debut novel “The Lido” is about the fight to save a local swimming pool that brings two women together in this common struggle, despite the sixty-year age difference between them. You can read my review of this book that is being called the “feel-good debut of the year” on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/08/11/diving-in-together/

My first cinema visit of 2024 I still laugh that I was the only one in the screening that day also it took me a week to see due to floods where I live
Anyway the film decent start to the year and for a blumhouse movie no gore just the jump scares which is a plus in 4dx there is decent acting from the cast the plot isn't either once u understand what's up with the swimming pool in question overall good start to the year
