Me: sorry I only work here I don’t own the building.

Energy provider: ok, is there a site manager around I can talk to?

Me: he…can’t come to the phone right now actually

Tramadol really is an interesting drug. At some point in the night I met myself from the future and bought a second hand banjo.

The email has found me blending in seamlessly at the conference, vast hat covering my auxiliary eyes. I extend a friendly tendril to the facilitator. ‘Fortuitous time allocation, ape, commence bonding! I too enjoy the consumption of essential minerals.’ I’m nailing it.

Back on the Tramadol. If anyone needs anything from the far reaches of space, I am currently loitering in the fruit aisle.

Grazie, Italy. Eternally beautiful.

A line of tall green pines (?) leading to the grey stone tower of a church

A view over the lake, gorgeous aquamarine blue in the late sun, and in the distance a dense green forested peak.

The email has found me waking from drugged darkness, chained to a chair at the head of a long table laden with jewelled cups and a rich banquet. The smell of roasted meat is mouth-watering, dizzying, but mingles with unspeakable rot. Every other seat is occupied by things that were once men.

The email has found me frantically anointing the bones - worn smooth as ice by time - with oils of cypress and myrrh as the hollow shrieking behind the iron doors to the lower crypt intensifies. I am the last of the team-building exercise left alive, Dom from HR has just been lost to the scarabs.

murk and drizzle

so we get our kicks from Mr Palomar
and consider brighter stars elsewhere

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

If you like Jesus, snow cones, chiles, low riders, and art, have I got the place for you...

A closed wooden stand that's haphazardly covered in hand-painted signs for Jesus, snow cones, chiles, art, and a low rider museum. There's a painting of Jesus just above a painting of a blue low rider. An American flag hangs next to Jesus.

The email has found me carefully dusting the haunted portrait gallery. The Drowned Duchess is still asleep, pillowed on a tangle of green weeds, and I don’t want to disturb her. More than one colleague has been found floating in the gilded frame, her hands around their ankles.

The email has found me laminating another strict No Entry sign for the canteen. The sinkholes are back, pouring forth the usual black fire and tortured screaming, and we all know what happened to Derek. Great news from the hospital though, they say he’s stopped shrieking in an unknown tongue!

The email has found me arguing with Liminal Jim of Threshold Construction Ltd. I don’t care how multiversal he wants the kitchen, that’s a load-bearing dimension and we’re not knocking through it.

Like to think Jilly Cooper would approve of mother and I celebrating her life and work by careening fifteen sheets to the wind (her) around an Italian lake surrounded by lovely dogs and ecstatically beautiful men.
