Today's the feast of St Jerome, 4th Century theologian, translator and one of the Four Latin Doctors. Here he is on the screen at Cawston, Norfolk wearing his cardinal's hat and carrying his works. He appears on 18 medieval rood screens or pulpits in Norfolk, often on the doors.

Today is Michaelmas, a quarter day in the Irish calendar, and traditionally when rents were paid & contracts signed. It's also the last day to eat blackberries - after today, they belong to the Devil and will make you sick!

When I emailed my TDs about the immigration changes they all responded within minutes to hours. Obviously they were rote responses but I get the feeling that if enough people get in touch it might cause them to wobble. It seems to be happening somewhat in some of the statements coming out lately.

Hey, you should watch Penda's Fen (1974). If you're the kind of person able to tune in to its specific wavelength, it might just change you as a person (positive)

A teenage boy with brown hair wearing a white dress shirt and black tie with black pants sits in the reeds by a body of water. it's a grey day, and there are trees in the distance. Next to him stands a golden woman with angel wings. She's looking down towards him.

How complete + final the feeling as I lift its curve in the net is a hybrid lyric-essay that moves between elegy, translation, & ecological witness, finding its gravitational centre in a sketch by Barrie Cooke of two figures hauling a pike from a boat. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Book cover for How complete + final the feeling as I lift its curve in the net by Ellen Dillon, published by Broken Sleep Books. The background is deep teal, with the title and author name in lighter blue serif type at the top. A framed painting in the lower half depicts a large whale surrounded by a shoal of small sketched fish, with a small seated human figure visible inside a glowing cavity in the whale's body. The artwork has a dark, chalky, hand-drawn quality.
