Poetry from Attila and Robin. A great way to spend a damp Sunday afternoon.

Brilliant, as always. And I love the way you just slip in and out of the room.

Hmmm...
Employer enrols me in yet another online anti-phishing training course. Then sends me an unexpected Amazon gift card a few days later. Is it a test?

Is it Americanisation (with an ess), or Americanization (with a zee)?

Found out yesterday that the Scottish seaside village scenes in #DownCemeteryRoad were filmed here. I thought I recognised it from the first shot of the river flowing next to the main road.

"Papa was a rodeo, mama was a rock 'n' roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas, love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know, papa was a rodeo"

Firmly in my calendar. #GoodwoodRevival
A full day of the sounds and smells of engines of yesteryear.
And a load of period style, clothing, music.

I did the same a few years ago. I saw Moonlandingz as support there. Didn't stay for the headline act (Goat). ๐Ÿ˜€

Seeing them next month in Brixton. One of those strange gigs where I'm mostly there for the support act.

Whenever I see an advert pop-up for Richard Daw... my brain fills in the gap, I read #RichardDawson and my heart races. Then I see it's mostly sold out and it's only #RichardDawkins.

Photographic evidence that you can see St Paul's Cathedral from Richmond Park. If the visibility is good and you have a telescope. Or good eyes.

For those who don't understand map projections and are amazed that some countries seem bigger than they really are (e.g. Greenland)...

Study a globe or a #Dymaxion projection:

So that's the new #Lynley watched through.
Both characters are softened compared with the books and with the Parker/Small castings of the previous adaptation. He's less posh, she's less untidy. Stories are still good. Worth a look.

It's still based on Elisabeth George books and she is an executive producer.

Found on my desk this morning. No clues other than the handwriting. And that the arrowhead is coloured-in.
