“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.”
I can do this all day and night! I adore this crazy murdermystery gardening series. It is as silly as you can get. This episode features Belinda Lang/Fake MoneyGrubby Aussies/Gardening/A Scaffolding Misadventure/Broken Limbs and the word LISSOME…as Belinda is forced to break into a house by climbing through a window. Lissome/Lithesome. The Wife Her Husband

This is one of the classics that I deliberately chose not to finish reading. I’m beginning to understand why now! It’s a wee bit strange that I’ve read and re-read and then read again something as blood-curdling and horrible as Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Go figure – as they say. I cannot give a full personal […]

Am I the only person in the WHOLE WORLD who sees the Mabinogion as a reflection of the House of Comnenus and Tartary? King Arthur? Betrayals? Beheadings? Horses? Celts/Scythians? A Kievan Rus’ from Georgia whom I named Aleksander? The ancient Brythonic Language? The destruction of Welsh Culture and Language? The fact that 12th century Welsh […]

The Mabinogion has played such a HUGE part in my past decade and a bit more of research for Ravens of Dinefwr. It helped me (along with N.C.) to weld the MSM History of Wales/Ireland/Scotland/The Normans/The Crusades with a new chronology and story. I’ve watched Cerys a few times – she’s my go-to-source for pronunciation […]

Ipomoea : (A Wexford Case) Ruth Rendell. Roxane’s shoes. The leaf was not from a wild plant but from the cultivated climber Ipomoea rubro-caerulea, the Morning Glory. I’m in Distraction Action here !

OK. So. It’s been a while since the last Merrily Watkins book so I thought I’d check on AmAzON. Eeer. What is wrong with the image above? In the UK it’s the 15th book. I’ve read all the previous. 15th? 16th? Which title? Amazon does this crap so many times. Buy For the Hell of […]

Confession – I have never been a fan of George Michael. But – his voice is great and he writes good lyrics. He wrote this song. And I do not blame him for playing the game. He was GAY but was forced to become every teenage girl’s idol. If he hadn’t – he would still […]

I have, IRL, heard someone call her that. Persephone vs Hades is the eternal myth of Dark vs Light. Summer vs Winter. Male vs Female. The Greek Myths have many examples of this pair. Orpheus and Eurydice. Echo and Narcissus. Zeus and Demeter. And etc. Why did Bram Stoker call the ship that brought Dracula […]
