I’m tough on this great for reasons, some personal, and some because it’s a little over praised imho. When it was apparently adopted as a tonal template I sensed trouble. And I agree with TD’s own assessment that it “shows signs of haste.” But there are loads of terrific scenes, including this one.

Now, I don’t have any Scottish ancestry that I’m aware of, but this sounds to me like a great idea.

... accompanied by Theo Travis's multitracked flute improvisations. She was really enthusiastic about the idea of this live performance and fascinated by the electronics and technicalities involved. It was a great event and I've remembered her generosity and open-mindedness ever since. RIP.

One of the reasons I've largely given up on music/spoken word combinations is that actors often don't like them - they feel the music interferes with or inhibits their performance. But some years ago at Bath Festival Stephanie Cole brilliantly read extracts from my novel The Rain Before It Falls ...

Way too early. At this point they're only looking to hear from production companies to determine which can bring the most resources, money and other elements to the table. They won't even be talking about writers for a while yet.

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

It's not just menhirs that enjoy continuing veneration. Many glacial erratics are on the routes of modern lithic pilgrims and assorted stone botherers. The deposited rocks serve to anchor folklore whether it's tales of Old Clip's anvil or boulders thrown by giants. – Dr. M. Benn

When you’re chronically ill, you can do everything “right” and still experience setbacks. You can “try harder” and still decline. You can do all the wellness cures, doctor’s appointments and hoop jumping and still suffer. That’s the reality of being disabled.

The artwork "Cold" by Remedios Varo depicts a spectral figure riding an ethereal crystal through a dark sky, scattering what appear to be snowflakes over a barren, wintry village. Varo, known for her dreamlike and surreal paintings, often infused her work with mystical and ethereal elements, capturing the enchantment of the unconscious mind.

And finally, people who mask, are often disabled, immunocompromised or chronically ill, are allowed to socialize. We are allowed to meet our friends out and not risk our lives. That’s what you told us to do, right? Get on with life? Not live in fear?

Amazing Spider-Man no. 38 (July 1966) cover by Steve Ditko, his final issue. This was the end of an era, and for me Spidey was never quite as good. Ditko was so far out the door, he didn’t even draw a cover for this one, which is a paste up job made from interior panels. A good issue, nonetheless!
A figure of Spidey throwing a punch toward the viewer. Underneath that are 3 panels of Spidey in action taken from various pages inside the comic.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.
