Thanks. Much appreciated.

I’m not remotely good enough to be here.
So I’m not.

Next week’s food budget blown…
A new rigger brush. Two 14ml. tubes of zinc white gouache.

His best?
Soldier of Orange and Turkish Delight.

The financial situation is the same in all the arts. Apart from the chosen few it’s basically impossible to earn a living that most of if not all sane human beings would consider anywhere near adequate from one’s […]

It’s the pheromones doncha know.

I have seen a brown owl attempt to catch a bat in mid flight. It missed.
I once sat so still that shrews ran over my feet.
I once spent an afternoon in the Tate with Joseph Beuys for company.
I have been […]

It’s a memorable read. I cannot think of anything quite like it. The closest I suppose would be Rings Of Saturn by W.G. Sebald but even that remarkable book (which I also highly recommend btw) has only vague echoes of it.

Fancy a bit of Japanese? Out by Natsuo Kirino should fit the page turner request. A woman kills her abusive husband. Her friends help her dispose of his body. Then things get really, really complicated…

Sorry folks I’m struggling a bit. Just delete the above. It’s a particularly bad time of the year for me and will be for the next few months.

I think I can just about hear a little bit of singing.

Hate is such a strong word, it’s like the colour yellow. Neither the word nor the colour are on tune with me chakras daddio. Ya grok?
I can now hug trees with impunity which is much more me. 😉

Thanks Chiz. I should have left Labour before now really. I’ve been growing disenchanted with them for some time.
I agree about being around and trying to act positively when the time comes. Goodness knows what […]

Hi gorgeous. It’s the getting into bed with Call Me Dave that I can’t get past. I did my due diligence on the options and The Green Party won out…just. You’ve put your finger on my major qualm with The Greens, […]

Barmcake is tastier than a Gregg’s sausage roll.

I finally decided to act upon a decision I think I made a while ago but I’ve been putting off. I left Labour and joined The Green Party.
It’s a matter of personal conscience. I can’t truly continue with Labour […]

No mention of the antique mother of pearl opera glasses either.

“I was complimented on my blazer.”
Phew Rock n Roll.

Damn cheek!
We love music. We just happen to be lazy, mean and partially deaf as well.
