“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
When the boys were little we decided to leave the HMForces and move to the Marches. Hereford…Ross-On-Wye…Goodrich…Monmouth. Didn’t happen but I got to know this area quite well. As in – actually being there rather than researching it for a book that wouldn’t be started until many years later. About the aftermath of the Norman […]
So I’m back to the velvet undergroundBack to the floor that I loveTo a room with some lace and paper flowersBack to the gypsy that I wasTo the gypsy that I was And it all comes down to youWell, you know that it does andLightning strikes maybe once, maybe twiceOh and it lights up the […]
Thank You! BTW : I saw a live interview with Tom Walker about this song. It was written by him for a friend who was deep inside Drug Abuse and how everyone was trying to to help. I Will Leave A Light On. Loving the puppet astronots. Boing. Boing :o) P.S. I prefer the men […]
Marcus, brother of Titus says on line 280 – Suum Cuique is our Roman justice: I was not taught Latin in school but have come across enough of it throughout my research to be curious. And I’ve read enough Shakespeare to question the image above. Macbeth??? Nope. Fake News. I can conjugate the French verb […]
This is one of the most famous MIS-QUOTES. See image above. I know very little about Karl Marx, apart from the fact that he is buried in Highgate Cemetery in London. And has something to do with communism. Not my era or area of study. Nor Hegel and his oft-quoted dialectic. Much Too Confusing for […]
The tiny bookshop that I was squished into the other week, remember? Oh. Never mind. It’s so small now because the owner has given the other half of the shop to his daughter and her partner. Today, I finally found the shop open and so went inside. Begad and begorrah. There are old/antique Tarot cards […]
I wrote this in January 2019 : Tartary Empire Decree “ALL SUBJECTS ARE COMMANDED TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE POWERFUL ARE FORBIDDEN TO OPPRESS THE POOR.” This decree lasted from 1380 to 1600. There are many ways to be poor. Lack of Wealth is just the one everyone always thinks of. […]
The leader of the Satanic Church in America…has no right eye. The Shroud of Turin, when studied properly, shows that the right eye was gouged out. Check it out. Check out the ancient texts. So we now have the Anti-Christ with a blinded right eye. LOOK. This is NOT my opinion. IT is HERE. I […]
That’s a quote from Christopher Lee. My Dad used to read Dennis Wheatley. Aha. I can blame HIM :o) I prefer this video ! P.S. CL was 6ft 4….tiny. But quite big for Sherlock. I’m going round in circles here and feeling slightly fizzy :o(
OK. I’ve actually done this on fabric. Silk, in fact. To make little flowers and leaves. ‘Snot difficult. Imagine the finest of fine silk stocking material dipped in liquid starch, shaped and left to dry. For centuries. Did the ancients also have the recipe for latex? Which is in FACT a natural by-product of many […]
Just browsing and this came up in my feed. Thanks…NOT! But I am curious. IS THIS FOR REAL or just the usual BS but on downers? Anyone. I was searching for Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible. Which I did for EngLit and which has always lain uneasy with me. Without proof, just by intuition, I […]
