New single ‘Hand Me My Backside’ out today on flexi 45. Some people say they are cheap, shitty & sound awful but others actually like the band & this finds the Fab Five making a racket with all of our usual panache. When they're gone that'll be it thenightingales.lnk.to/HMMB

A fictionalised Anthony Blunt, repulsed or irritated by his occasional need to defecate after showering. Anthony Burgess? John Banville? Argh my rotten memory.

Drivers dictate style. These days they step from porches into cars and step from cars into dry destinations, rainproofed in a fantasy of the track athlete for the few moments they're exposed to the elements.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 9: Lettering Forgotten Words Bexleyheath Cemetary
Close up photograph of a gravestone that has fallen and laying on its back. Water has pooled on the surface and loosened all of the letters away from the stone. They are now jumbled like spaghetti letters. Some freshly cut grass lays amongst the letters. A flower is also carved into the stone.

NYT article today about sale of Gertrude Abercrombie work brings to mind Abercrombie's 1950 painting "Message to Mercy," title referring to one of Abercrombie's cats. The letter slid under the door is addressed to Mercy, who remains otherwise uninterested in it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/a...
Painting of a room with a door, a broom, a painting on the wall, and a black cat sitting on a rug with a small ball. A letter has been slid under the door

I attempted a re-creation of my favourite sandwich from a local ATX cafe on Burnet/Lamar. Basically Waldorf salad with alfalfa sprouts and chicken. Very close but the UK bread let me down. Needs a big Kaiser Roll.

Yes! 'LADLE SLAG, OLD HILL 1' by Edward Wadsworth, 1919. At the British Landscapes exhibition, Pallant House Gallery, which I recommend. A fair bit of Paul Nash 😎👌
A b&w lithograph of a big pile of boxy shapes and slag heaps.  The accompanying card reads as follows:

"Edward Wadsworth (1889-1949)

Ladle Slag, Old Hill 1

1919

Lithograph on paper

Gift of Geraldine Hollweg (2025)

Edward Wadsworth was associated with the Vorticist movement, a group of artists with the aim of creating radical art that expressed the dynamism of the modern world. After the First World War he turned his attention to the industrial landscapes around Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley. Fascinated by the effects of manufacturing waste, he created works such as this print that celebrate the particular forms of slag heaps. One critic noted that Wadsworth transformed 'the marks of modernity on the landscape with the romantic picturesque'."

I really hope the publication of biographies of Anita Brookner and Barbara Cartland at more of less the same time creates a literary Barbenheimer effect.
