» Tributes have poured in for Tina Turner who sadly passed away at the age of 83 this week in Switzerland.

» Just got back from watching No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's fifth and final appearance as James Bond and the 25th film in the franchise. It was quite a decent send-off for Craig and entertaining enough to sit back and enjoy my first visit to a cinema in a couple of years.
