Four Seasons In Five Minutes - Original song by SJones
[Verse 1]
Put my shorts on
Sky looked kinda nice
Mam said take your coat
I should’ve took her advice
One step out the door
Ah
Lovely bit of blue
By the time I reach the corner shop
I’m soaked straight through
[Chorus]
Weather in Wales is on the wine again
Raining on my head
Then sun
Then hailstones
Then
Snow on my driveway
Sun on my face
Thermals in July
This land’s a state
Yeah
Weather in Wales
It’s lost the plot today
Four seasons in five minutes
Then it does it all again
[Verse 2]
Suncream on my nose
Then the sky just screams
Pebbles from the clouds
Bouncing off my jeans
Blink and it’s December
White on every car
Next blink
Neighbour’s in a deckchair
Grilling like a star (what’s going on?)
[Chorus]
Weather in Wales is on the wine again
Raining on my head
Then sun
Then hailstones
Then
Snow on my driveway
Sun on my face
Thermals in July
This land’s a state
Yeah
Weather in Wales
It’s lost the plot today
Four seasons in five minutes
Then it does it all again
[Bridge]
One day warm
Next day Baltic cold
I dress in layers
Like I’m 90 years old
Flip-flops
Scarf
Gloves and shades as well
Pack for a weekend
To walk to Tesco’s shelf (hey!)
[Chorus]
Weather in Wales is on the wine again
Raining on my head
Then sun
Then hailstones
Then
Snow on my driveway
Sun on my face
Thermals in July
This land’s a state
Yeah
Weather in Wales
It’s properly on the pull
Four seasons in five minutes
And they all turn up in full

Project Hail Mary FILM REVIEW
The movie follows Ryland Grace, a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memories gradually return, he discovers he’s on a last-chance mission to save Earth from certain annihilation. From that point on, the film becomes a tense survival story filled with problem-solving, discovery, humour, heartfelt moments, and unexpected twists.
I went into Project Hail Mary not really knowing what to expect (I haven’t read the book) but it honestly surprised me in a good way. One thing I really enjoyed was how the film made the science interesting instead of boring. Normally that kind of thing can drag, but here it actually made me more invested because you’re basically solving the problems alongside him.
Much like The Martian, it focuses on realistic scientific challenges but presents them in a way that feels engaging rather than overwhelming. Each breakthrough feels rewarding. Also, for an end-of-the-world type film, it doesn’t lean too heavily into dread or existential crisis like others in the genre, which was refreshing.
The lead character is another highlight. Ryland Grace isn’t your typical action hero, he’s relatable, often unsure, and occasionally overwhelmed. That makes his journey feel more grounded and believable, which adds to the emotional impact.
Visually, the film captures the isolation of space really well while still keeping things engaging. There’s also a strong emotional core that develops as the story progresses, adding depth beyond just survival and science.
It’s also great to see practical effects and puppetry being used. Rocky (our beloved rock friend) is easily one of the heart and soul elements of the film. Honestly, we love you Rocky, you are amaze, amaze, amaze. His audio design was incredible, and the soundtrack was beautiful too.
Overall, Project Hail Mary is an intelligent and engaging sci-fi film that offers more than just spectacle. It’s a story about survival, problem-solving, and connection in the most unexpected circumstances. It’s also a genuinely fun watch and a great big-screen experience, it's a film that you need to see on the big screen. A must-watch for fans of smart, character-driven sci-fi, especially if you enjoyed The Martian, Ryan Gosling, or Andy Weir’s work
