Myself, I long for love & light,
But must it come so cruel, & oh so bright?

Finished @claptoncfc.co.uk Women 0 Brentford Women 3 - wasn’t that one-sided but Bees made the most of their chances. Getting a bit parky by the end but nice sunset and nice cat outside @oldspotteddog.bsky.social !

Some of you may be spending less time with this song stuck in your head than I do, & I feel the need to correct that

Fondly remembering the day our cat brought home a mouse in a trap.

It's the first Sunday of Advent and BBC Radio3 is broadcasting a twelve-hour marathon of Carols Across the Country, and I could almost cry from having the seasonal spirit quite miraculously awakened. Something I didn't expect in view of just about everything. 🥲
From 2016, another piece featuring my favourite 'thing under tree' motif, 'White Hart.' Ink, 85 x 125 mm.

Trivia: the stag here combines features of both the red and fallow deer to suggest a mythological creature rather than a real animal.

Just remembered that Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt also prompted me to set up a donation to the Refugee Council (and I told them so). Might be due a revival

RIP to Tom Stoppard. I still remember trying & failing to find a quiet place to sit in the West End after watching Leopoldstadt

@uniqueplacestosave.org Hi, can you please unfollow as I have no interest in conserving anything in the United States. Thanks!

Main thing I've discovered from seeing Caravaggio's Cupid at the Wallace Collection is that I really do not enjoy looking at naked pictures of 12-year-olds

My neighbors told me they were worried about bears🐻 showing up, so I picked all the persimmons I hadn’t gotten to yet. I’ll turn some of them into dried persimmons.
A friend helped me out, so everything went really smoothly.

Emiko travelled to the remote corners of Japan to find the artisans who still work with ancient techniques, include 11 pensioners tea farmers in a remote forested ravine 1000ft above sea level, farming organic tea and harvesting it by hand! Listen here:
Hellooooooooooo!
Happy with weekend with an excellent new episode!

今日は少しでも時間があれば「龍」を永遠にリピートしている私です、こんにちは。
自分は神様とか信じてるわけではないのだけれど、でも神社にはお参りに行くしなんならその街にあったら行くくらい好きな方、だと思う。
そして御守りとして、龍神様?の御守りを持っている。
いつもバックにつけてて試合前には必ず触るルーティーンもある。そう思うと自分の中では結構大切な存在にしているのかも。
今回の福山さんの曲はそんな自分の日常にも繋がってくれる曲なのかもしれない
福山さんが「生きろ」と歌うならば、私は生きるしかない。志高く、我が道を、命を燃やして。
道は前にあるのではなく、一歩を踏み出し続けるからこそできるから

Had a long and intricate Mirtazapine dream where I went on a residential Romanian course. Unfortunately I became embroiled in disputes between staff and management and didn't learn any Romanian

Didn't purposely stay up till midnight to get Masha's new single as soon as it dropped in the UK, but I might as well take the opportunity #福山雅治 #BROS1991

It's at least partly nostalgia, but I kind of like mid-90s Madonna #TotP

You Are Not Alone isn't a good song at all, but it's melancholy to think both the leads in the video are now dead #TotP

Imagine if you'd said in 1987 "in a few years time the singer from the Sugarcubes will be introducing Pulp on the Christmas Top Of The Pops playing one of their Top 3 singles".

Just remembering when I got some young people at work to listen to Common People. They liked it #TotP
