I've been saying for a while, Wuxia's going to be a rising wave. Oh look, we've got about half a dozen shows coming soon. To brush up your Xia sense, here's some handy articles. In this one, I look at how the genre relates to similar ones in Western fantasy. 1/ #sff snowpavilion.co.uk/condor-heroes/

Suzanne had been a brilliant Philosophy Playtime participant. And keen supporter of ‘a philosopher…walks…talks…makes’ activities. Full of bright thoughts, energy, curiosity. A tragic loss.
Good morning from the lakes of #zufre (down there somewhere)

It’s a first! No players tonight. (Relying on whoever shows up each week actually surprised that it took over 60 sessions to have a complete no-show).
So rolling over the idea to play with, you’ll have to wait until next week to find out about self-mastery.

Photo of a lone football gaol post emerging through the fog over green grass
The same lone football gaol post emerging through the dark morning light over dark grass.
The original framed pair are available to purchase, and prints on request, give me a wave for further info.
Original photos below
Close up in gallery of VAR in the Haar, with a lone football gaol post emerging through the fog over green grass, photo positioned in a cheap old frame like a team photo in a local sports club
Close up in gallery of Near on a Year, with the same lone football gaol post emerging through the dark morning light over dark grass, photo positioned in a cheap old frame like a team photo in a local sports club
Although I'm not particularly into football, It's a Goal! is a humorous homage to VAR and local sports club photos.
The two early morning shots are of the same goal on the riverside, near same time, near 12months apart. They are separately titled VAR in the Haar, and Near on a Year.
This is a happy by-product of my ‘Good Morning from the Tay’ walks
