Nice thing to see on my way home.

I'll be up at the Vault Xmas Market again today. Hoping for more conversations like: 'Can I pay you in Euro?' 'OK. How come you're paying in Euro?' 'I won in a casino in Dublin' And: 'Do you know anyone who does mime in Belfast' 'Yeah, there's a guy called Grant doing mime behind you.'

‘All Welcome’ is open until 6pm today and tomorrow 12 November — the final day (12–6pm).

Some details from ‘All Welcome’ at Vault Marlborough House (28-32 Victoria St, Belfast). Show runs until the 12th of November — get down before 6 pm tomorrow.

In Borges' short story 'The Other', a 70+ Borges speaks to his younger self about the blindness that will later afflict him: 'You'll be able to see the colour yellow and light and shadow. But don't worry. Gradual blindness is not tragic. It's like the slowly growing darknesss of a summer evening.' 😭
