I'm the only person in the whole world currently sitting in their garden drinking lavender vodka and coke whilst listening to The Wichita Train Whistle, an album of Mike Nesmith songs reimagined in the American brass band style.

I went to see a comedy show because a reviewer described it as "pythonesque", but the comedian just squeezed me to death.

There are lots of book covers I love, but I'll go for this recent one for @adamsleslie.bsky.social's Lost In The Garden - the picture, the colours, the font... it does a fabulous job of encapsulating the delirious summer-dream heat that pours out of the story.

'Lost in the Garden' by Adam S. Leslie. Title and author at the top, black on white. The remainder of the cover is a photo - a close-up of the back of a woman's head and shoulders with flowers in her hair. We can see out of focus fields behind her and the sky is a dark pink - in fact, the whole image is doused in that pink shade. The cover design is by Luke Bird.

A wood pigeon and a collared dove just started hooting at exactly the same time to the same tempo, harmonising on the first and the fifth. There were some mad polyrhythms going on.

I wonder If a big reason Tom Baker became so irritable later on in his run as Doctor Who was having to wear all those woollen layers, including a thick scarf, under studio lights?

Adam S Leslie and Lost In The Garden

Heat hazes shimmer above melting tarmac. The half-heard chimes of never-seen ice cream vans echo across deserted school playgrounds. Chips are sprinkled liberally with sand, and the grumbling cloud…

Thought for the day: early Red Dwarf is essentially early Last of the Summer Wine in space. A talky sitcom about loneliness, featuring the lovelorn vulgar scruff with poor personal hygiene, the one with pretensions of being officer material, and the inscrutable weird one.

Given that it went on for around four hundred episodes - and that theme song seemed to last for the entire show - you could be forgiven for assuming that Esteban, Tao and Zia never reached the Mysterious Cities Of Gold.
