I feel there’s 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 room for something more authentic ;-)

Bendor, have you seen the lead character in Down Cemetery Road is an art restorer and the chap from True Blood has a new crime series called Art Detectives (catchy title ;-), with over-paint as a plot point?

I rewatched it in the summer and it’s funny how the element that has dated is the phone stuff.

I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice?

Happy 25th to PJHarvey's Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea...

and also happy birthday to the easiest 'Where It's At' (cover location feature) I did for Q, though it was very nice to speak to Maria Mochnacz about her evening wandering around Times Square with Polly.
