Might have to wait for AMOC collapse before I can wear my lovely new chunky jumper

There is this, in Suffolk

remembered the existence of this wonderful slice of Curtis Mayfield genius youtu.be/XwhOeYG80gs?...

Loads of police at the tube station, presumably looking for an accidentally released prisoner or two

Flaming Tar Barrels Live. probably wont be the new big jets tv but got to be better than the one show www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

If there are woodpeckers and woodcocks, are there also woodschlongs?

The army blew up a cheese sandwich at Molineux in 1996, ahead of a 0-0 draw between the England and Poland under-21 teams

for a second I thought the guy in the John Lewis ad had been transported to the black chamber from Under The Skin

Decorated the lid for the tea jar with an autumnal tiger collage #art #makestuff

found poem

wasn't fully on board with halloween until last night when I was visited by three father christmases

I met a Traveller from an antique land, and posted on Nextdoor to watch your stuff

Ha-ha this-a-way

maybe the lesson from Tolkien is to throw all the tech into a volcano

Favourite 3 Hitchcock mosaics from Leytonstone tube station: Strangers on a Train North by Northwest To Catch a Thief www.london-walking-tours.co.uk/secret-londo...

Making peposo, which seems like it might be the ultimate low effort stew

Good to know that if you ever needed to get Sobek the Egyptian crocodile god a present you could spring for some airpods

Feel like Magdalen College could have done a bit better with the meter here

This morning (in Oxford) I said this is probably a good spot to see a kingfisher, then about 5 seconds later one flew by like a blue missile

Hedgehog yawns are fascinating: #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/animalsdoi...

Book quiz update: did not come last, won a book about cats

need that old #uksnow map thing, but for snot. 5/10 in SE18

caught a showing of Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind for today's Museum Heist Super Sunday and really liked it. It's all quite low key but still with some excitement and turns, and is subtly funny throughout. Josh O'Connor, as always, is great

Back at the Betsey Trotwood on Tuesday (21/10) for the next Betsey Book Quiz. I have a few tables still open - let me know.

A bit of Robert Herrick

One Bottle After Another

I did see a white one once (the Gravesend Beluga) but I think I just posted a picture to twitter at the time

Finished the new Pynchon. p269 was my favourite. What now? Need something completely new (to me) to read

Ricks, Daves, Lukes, Bens, Bobs, Lens, and shades of Geoff bloke verse

Productive lunch break

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot bear the falconer

You can have this for free - call your cat Ferenc

One thing I loved (mild spoilers) about One Battle After Another was the use of the transponders in the climactic scene. The Chekhovian gun had already been clearly fired, here it went off again but much more subtly, fading in like a gentle alarm and I think unremarked upon, just there tinkling away

Just had one of those freaky robot dogs in the office. NHS branded blood sample delivery bow-wow

That niggling repeated piano note in the soundtrack for One Battle After Another led me back to this doozy: Ravel's Le Gibet, performed by Sviatoslav Richter youtu.be/yNdUDUvHpJM?...

That's real Britain = rattlebrain saith

Did a quiz tonight and we were asked to give the word that fits between raw and show. Turned out the answer wanted was talent so we had to make the case for dog

This is like claiming I share my flat with a new apex species because a Henry is good at vacuuming and you can feel a little uneasy if you make eye contact with it while having a wank

I am in GiveMeStrength

Went outside because there was a boat on the river tooting its horn so much I thought something might be happening (it wasn't) but then on the way back in found someone had left some dumbbells out by the bins. And so my beefcake journey starts

Up early and it's all gone a bit Keats

been to Walthamstow for some Beethoven, and some Uyghur noodles (from Etles restaurant). Both good

am tickled by the idea of virtual clay target shooting. maybe you could simulate this place in the metaverse to be another step removed from blasting an actual pigeon

Off to see One Battle After Another which I assume is about the EFL Championship
