Justin Beaver

Sweetie Moment I watched the original vid a while back and went all mushy. F1RST up. I’ve just seen their update. S3COND up. When you rescue a wild animal, you have to learn to live with them. Not the other way round. Jakey Crow was a pain in the arse. He’d destroy anything he could […]

The Royal Albert Hall, London

I have never been inside here. But I have vivid memories of us snotty teenagers from Lincs going on a “school trip” to the Natural History Museum and ending up sitting on the steps of the Albert Memorial eating our Mummy-made packed lunches. One day I’ll enter these hallowed, music filled spaces. And maybe watch […]

Crows LOVE Raspberries

Well, ours did :o) We rescued a baby crow in the garden, nurtured him for a year and then let him fly away. He was named after Brooks’ crow in Shawshank! A favourite game of his, when we walked around the garden with Tsardog, was to stop and pull raspberries from our three runs and […]

TFAYCD

JIM The first #male friend that I let my Mum meet. She was dazzled by him….The silver-tongued, quick-witted, entertainer, manager-in-charge of my local theatre dude. Sheesh. And yes. He was never more than a friend who I went to school with and who used to lighten up my life. Even when we didn’t agree :o) […]

How To Make Carved Moulding (?)

On furniture. There is one thing about these videos that makes me wince. Whenever I’ve painted/renovated furniture – I ALWAYS paint the inside too. With the same amount of detail and care. There is nothing worse than seeing a drop dead gorgeous cupboard, opening the doors and looking at the original manky wood underneath. It’ll […]

Giuseppe Sanmartino

I am NOT a chemist. So I can’t even begin to get to the HOW of this. Maybe someone else can? How did he make the veil? How is it that you see the features of the Saviour beneath the veil? Did Sanmartino sculpt it that way? How is that possible? One hypothesis is that […]

Ursula Le Guin

I’m Raging. Quietly. Some third person (!) is being spammed to hell for his latest video. WTF? OK. Sci-Fi is not MY genre but I’ve read Phil K Dick, Ursula le Guin and Mary Gentle. PKD and Ursula were, if not friends, acquaintances. They were both well aware of each others work. Mary Gentle – […]
