I think that's Loch Lomond, but I can't say for sure.

My uploads have been erratic lately, and it's been a long time since I've written anything substantive to accompany them. Rather than indicating a dearth of inspiration, the truth is that I've had a surfeit of the stuff. Life has lately been full of such wild and unpredictable changes and turns. People describe situations as 'surreal' so often that it now means nothing more than strange or unusual, but lately I have felt such a disconnection from my life that the word surreal has come to mind: that something is so bizarre or unexpected that I feel it's not actually happening to me, in my own life. I make it sound like a bad thing, but much of this has to do with an incredible (in the formal, as well as informal, sense of the word) happiness that has ambushed me. I've hardly had space - external or internal - to reflect and to make sense of this new reality; to make it feel real.

I write this from a hotel room in Singapore, where I'm due to start filming season three of The Big Shot. I find it hard to feel like a part of the world inside a hotel room; as though they exist outside of everything else. This makes them fine places for escape and reflection, but also for feeling desperately and crushingly alone. I hope to use mine for more of the former than the latter over the next two weeks.

(The influence of Hopper shines through in this photograph, I think.)

When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me,
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
