Whisky Galore remake ahoy.

I cannot seize today, or even clasp it gently, because it is A Day Before Complicated Travel (to another world) thus 99% of my being is filled with anticipation and angst and this is why people have personal staff to do things for them. I say 'people' but probably it's spouse work.

ésprit d'escalier about the precise syntax and word choices of a sentence in a former message... perhaps i need to eat soup and chill-ax but warmly

The Pipe Terminus is the place where old pipes are sent in their declining years of operation - some may be cheered with a little cleaning and mending, some will be tossed into the sea and become homes for hermit crabs, who secretly crave nicotine.

Easter will be soon upon us, here is what some Russian chickens think about all that... (they might be exiles, living in Paris)

ectoplasmac

Maddest journey of the week so far; the inelegant clamber into the unlined attic (for a thing) and down again, via practically perpindicular ladder. I survived.

Inspector Maigret has left the building.

Forkings, i need forkings

Eric Morecombe on holiday "it's an okay place, this, it's got what the French call ambiance" and "excuses-moi, sunshine, i'll have another calvados, and a cup of tea."

Some very young children have been found by scientific study to be able to achieve pocket knitting, which is the art of entangling strands of wool in linked loops, using only two fingers of one hand. Professor Knott, who led the study group (only 10 little girls) says more research may be needed.

who is this who is coming

Unhealthy looking person holding candlesticks into which he has inserted some very clever candles with channeled bases. He's going up to the attic to visit the mice, talk to the pigeons, drink some port, think about where life went wrong/so right. Sideburns, he thinks.

-Morning, Clarence -Morning, Joshua -Nippy, that wind, isn't it -Hmm. -Hey, are we actual March hares? -We are -So this is a shot of us 'ambling away from the tail end of March' -Sort of.. -But what happens when April arrives? -We could go on holiday? -Make room for bunnies? -It's a funny old world

But I was thinking of a way To feed one's self on batter, And so go on from day to day Getting a little fatter. I shook him well from side to side, Until his face was blue, "Come, tell me how you live," I cried, "And what it is you do!"

He thought he saw a Buffalo Upon the chimney-piece: He looked again, and found it was His Sister's Husband's Niece. "Unless you leave this house," he said, "I'll send for the Police!"

Spring forward tonight ⏰

Stanley Spencer, Magnolias, 1938

You should all be doing more of that thing. Or doing it differently. And if you're not doing it, you should have a hard think about why you're not doing it. Anyway, I've got the moral high ground, all right?

A masterclass in backhanded compliments from S. T. Coleridge: 'To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.' – of the actor Edmund Kean #bookwormsat #theatresky

"The kind of acting I used to enjoy no longer exists because your prime consideration is the budget, running time, the cost, and whether they'll understand it in Milwaukee." -Dirk Bogarde #BOTD

[There is something of Cliff Richard about Dirk Bogarde, and vicey versey] [i mention this thought having just seen a pic of DB in tight black leather as a gunfighter, and a pop-star kind of glamour]

As I'm technically inept I've had to screenshot this wonderful post from Mike Scott who mixed & contributed guitar to 'Nina Antonia & The Lunar Moth's - Dropping Like Butterflies' an album of spoken word set to music. He kindly likened it to the 'Velvet Underground with twinkling lights.'

I think the clocks in UK go back tonight. Or forward. Not sure. Is it forward

It's a little known fact that most Pelicans are thwarted novelists, and all of them have a positive fetish for writing implements.

An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted. Arthur Miller

It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question. Eugène lonesco

I must go, she cried, and with squeal of tires she was gone.

Dreamt I had to relinquish ownership of lots of companies I’d invested in in my 20s and one of them was a bald wig company where each ‘model’ was named after a Baldwin brother. The Alec Bald Wig, The Billy Bald Wig etc…

Let me give you my card, Sir. One never knows when a lion-tamer might be needed in your line of business, and that, dare I say it, is exactly my own line of business.

Mmmmmm, sweet chestnut purée personified. It's a look.

Let us regard the controllographe to answer for us the vital question "how heavy is your burden at work?"

How not to die horribly by clumsy accident and not paying attention - posters/warnings about preventing accidents at work and more to the point, social security for losing your hand in machinery, etc. Small thread.

Hypnos, god of Sleep, son of Nyx and Erebus, The Night and The Dark. It is believed Hypnos lived in a cave of poppies, in dark and in quiet, a lush platform for the dream state.

I would quite like to see (or have seen) Ed Davey in a slot at the Comedy Store, trying out his 'comedy' act/shtick. Better still, The Tunnel Club. An easy way to learn how not-funny one can be when perceived by boozed-up clusters of humanity
