I've been housebound for the past few weeks so have very little to report in terms of arts and culture that involve leaving the sofa. Instead here is a list of some of the things I plan to see between now and the end of the year:
On stage
Bridget Christie is one of my favourite comedians and her latest show Because You Demanded It will undoubtedly be a hilarious tirade about Brexit and the state of the world today.
I would watch Mark Rylance read the telephone directory (do telephone directories still exist?) so I am excited to see his latest West End outing, Nice Fish. Also, his announcement that the first four people to turn up each day dressed as fish or fishermen will get free tickets brings me great joy.
In the gallery
I should have seen the Royal Academy's Abstract Expressionism exhibition by now, but it's on the list and I've heard good things.
Likewise, The Radical Eye - Tate Modern's exhibition of Elton John's photography collection - sounds right up my street.
In the cinema
Passengers stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt and Michael Sheen and is set in space. What more do you want from a film opening the week before Christmas?
On my sofa
I've just started reading Swing Time by Zadie Smith and I'm already loving it.
The wonderful
Gilmore Girls are back on Netflix and I can't wait to get stuck into the upcoming four 90 minute episodes.
