Ripley on Netflix.

I just watched all of this whilst getting over a grim stomach bug. Really loved it. Shady new yorker (Andrew Scott /Hot Priest from fleabag) moves to Europe to track Down an old friend. I don't know if the black and white added anything, but it's really captivating,right to the end

I agree, this was one of the best things ive seen lately

Bananas and Coffee area fully dry on Fri evening and the rest was getting there, given the recent dry weather I wouldn't write it off.

8A+ = approx 8c. I always had E8 in my head as being safe 8a or 8a+? So I'm not sure the E grade gonna help make sense of anything here if it's E8 

Presumably going for the Dave Mac school of thought where sport 8b+ solo and sport 7b solo can both be E8 (I know which I'd have a chance on and which I definitely wouldn't).

Yep. Mark said "I’d be surprised if routes were dry already" , he hasn't been up yet.
It was horribly wet up here in the Clwyd valley only 3 weeks ago.

Just 'enjoyed' Baby Reindeer on Netflix..

Ooof.  Strap yourselves in. 

Jessica Gunnings performance as Martha is as brilliant as the whole thing is mad.

I thought it was very good... but a very hard watch - like a more harrowing version of Nighty Night.  I kept pausing episodes to "decompress" for a few minutes before I felt fit to continue.  At first, it was Martha's behaviour that did it - although that was fairly standard TV stalker / fanatic stuff in retrospect (not a million miles from Kathy Bates in Misery?).  But later, what more got me was when the protagonist did something that would obviously make matters worse, and had me dreading the unpleasantness to come. He's the relationship equivalent of a horror film character that returns to the creepy house, when they could have driven away or got help, and insists on exploring alone with all the lights off.
