I’m gonna be banging on a bit about ovarian cancer symptoms again, but this is important. Here’s a Facebook post from Target Ovarian Cancer about how similar the symptoms are to IBS. This was my experience this summer.

April 2026 is shaping up nicely today even as the nights are drawing in:

- Picked up a ticket for the Twilight Sad in Bristol April 29th
- New David Keenan novel announced
This is a hymn to the resilience of youth, to the brave dreams of artists and lovers, and a love letter to Glasgow – a city where magic happens.

Lending weight to the argument that owning physical media/objects is crucial.
This is why I keep dozens of real, almost identical, flesh and blood apes in my loft.

Dome - Dome 2 (1980)

One of many Wire side projects, this time Lewis and Gilbert’s sonic explorations. More structured that Dome 1 but still pretty much out there.

"We went into the studio with almost no preparation," Graham Lewis said, "no preconceived ideas as to what it could be."

One for the #MDANT folks:

Something I’ve done in retirement is take up stone carving. I was intrigued to find this book recommended in one of the online groups and ordered a copy. It’s just arrived and guess who wrote the back cover blurb?
