Occasionally, sorting out a pile of overdue paperwork offers up gems.
An old black and white photo of Tony Blackburn and two Daleks outside what looks like The Langham Hotel near Broadcasting House. Seventies?

A neighbour is a landscape gardener of long standing. He only keeps bags of cuttings in his van overnight (no tools), is STILL surprised when spiders and bugs set off his alarm.

It’s been such a great privilege to get to know Denise, who is one of the United Kingdom’s last surviving wild pandas.
Me rubbing the chin of a lovely sheep I met who looks a lot like a panda.The same sheep, when, upon request, I held up a mirror for her so she could check her eye shadow.

I must say, I never loved Ms. Spiteri more than when she went on the Carfest stage after The Village People a few years ago and told them their (notably bad) attitude was a bit fucking unacceptable and that maybe they should fuck off 😍

I've done a few overnight shifts this week on a nameless industrial estate. It's interesting/sad to note how many people seem to be sleeping/living in their cars? Same 3 every night, sometimes more, always parking in the same places, no parking restrictions here despite not being far from a station.

The wry annoyance at myself for being irrationally upset and huffy at picking up my apple pencil and finding it out of battery, completely forgetting I could just pick up an ACTUAL lead pencil, make the note and happily get on with my day.

Watching old Time Team on 4oD. It's just so CHARMING. Also provides a fascinating time capsule of it's own when you notice the cars that some of the archaeologists drive to the digs (maybe that's just me).

As a veteran of the 2016 'year of the scythe', I'm having flashbacks to why I turned off the BBC news alert and never switched it back on. It felt like every day back then so I hope this is a blip in comparison.

Just a reminder that there's a Will Shakespeare miniseries from the heyday of BBC historicals starring Tim Curry as Shakespeare and Ian McShane as Marlowe, and it's on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpxC...

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

How to get my Lord of the Rings box set back from my mum? She said she'd like to borrow it for the weekend about 3 months ago and she is still watching it most weeks apparently. I'm going to just have to buy it again aren't I.

Yes I'm sure taking loads of drugs must be great but what is also quite exciting is going for a walk in remote woodland and stumbling across a lone inexplicable brutalist pillar.
A lone brutalist pillar, possibly the lone surviving remnant of a medieval car park, situated in Dartmoor woodland. The scene is a little reminiscent of the cover of the album Who's Next by The Who (which shows The Who in the aftermath of pissing next to a similar obelisk) but many years on, when the landscape fertilised by The Who has flourished, blissfully unaware that the band are now variously dead or supporters of Right Wing politics. I lived not much more than half an hour's walk away from this pillar during early 2022, when I was finishing my first novel Villager, which, though I'm biased, is a good fucking book, which someone once called "psychedelic Cranford", and the pillar's presence was one of many reminders of the mystery of the British landscape, prompting me to write about Dartmoor not straightforwardly as it is but as a very slightly warped parallel dimension version of itself with new social history, lost music, folklore and ghosts, yet with the same mossy dripping otherworldly feeling I always got during my many many long walks there, during which I always ended up writing novels (many of them now sadly lost forever) in my head, felt like deep history was touchable, and that I was passing through a landscape that had somehow put itself on steroids. It is great when more people discover a love for walking on it and swimming in its rivers but so sad that so many of them, with their selfie sticks and dogs, now contribute to a horrible growing Instagram tourism that I fear might eventually ruin the place, only leading to even more Instagram influencers populating it not because they're truly enchanted by Dartmoor's magic nor what Dartmoor does to them but because they want likes on Instagram from other potential Instagram influencers who will then also visit it, leading to more litter and dog shit and maybe even, eventually, a greater dystopia of people taking selfies of themselves next to this pillar, or chiselling bits of it off as a "souvenir".

Sam Neill was one of few actors who could turn up in a film and raise its whole game. I think we can agree that his whole body of work was pretty incredible, but my personal favourite always has been and probably always will be The Dish.
