You are flipping great - your digital work is up there with the best. You've developed a really distinct style that is awesome to see. And an inspiration to us all. Seriously, you could go pro....you'd be poorer though!!

The androids have evolved and have decided to wipe out the non-android life - a raggle-taggle fleet of ships carrying the last survivors of the Federation - flee in search of the original twelve colonies where life began.

Many centuries ago - we shifted the burden of remembering everything to writing. Socrates was most upset about this - we know this because Plato wrote it down.

Apart from the fact that your place looks amazingly tidy - I love the look with the chillies....the light looks really restful.

I remember when it was the Penultimate Picture Palace - and also the Al Jolson hands... Of course we also had the Moulin Rouge in Headington with the legs. And Bill's house with the Shark.

I think I always knew I was weird - but a teacher really upsetting me when I was nine because they didn't believe that I could have read a book that fast - and proceeded to quiz me on it made me realise that I was odd.

Just finished Winter on ITVX - thought it was pretty good but have discovered it was based on a French series ' Balthazar'; just watched the first episode of that - it is so much better.

If the hackers had been sensible - defrost - refreeze - defrost - refreeze - food poisoning all round. I can see why you might want freezers and fridges hooked up to your internal network as a supermarket chain - monitoring temperatures etc. But as soon as you do that - you are at risk.

And although I think Gove is a despicable human being - there does seem to be some contemptible attempts to link him with this.

Well - right-wing white woman with ties to the establishment being charged with having child-porn on her laptop - not exactly front-page news. As opposed to black academic guilty of getting above themselves - should be hounded to death.

She was lovely - we mostly chatted about Tomorrow's World. Oh and how she didn't learn to read until she was about 9.

Churchill did buy cartoons of himself. As he aged - he got less convivial though. And yes, I've heard that if you see Johnson at public speaking engagements - you'll get the schtick word for word.

I was thinking Churchill - he'd have loved it - he wouldn't have been so happy about the graffiti - but the turf mohican - he'd have found that funny. And you are so right about Johnson...he wouldn't have definitely arranged it himself.

When I see things like this happen - I sometimes wonder what the person would have thought - there are some people who would have hated it - there are others who might be looking down or up and having a good chuckle. And even agreeing it is disrespectful but what right have they for respect.

The answer often is also people. As the wise man Martin Gore once wrote 'People are People, so why should it be, you and I, get along so awfully' And I have written 'People are wankers, so why shouldn't I, Punch a nazi in the face and make them cry?'

M has fallen in love with the Dressmaker game on Steam - it's their happy place and is trying to convince H to play it. I'm hoping it works - could be the gateway drug that is needed. And there's such a healthy community sharing their creations. It's a lovely game!!
