#vss365 A #cradle is a perilous place. You're only there when something terrible has happened, like being born, or in their arms while your blood soaks through their sleeves. Through 100 years of sleep, Maleficent peers at Aurora in relentless cycles of REM: a curse of a sewing machine and a prick.

There's a popular story about a staging of 'Antony & Cleopatra' at the Lyceum in the 19th C. During an Act 2 scene of bacchanalian excess in Cleopatra's court, an old lady in the front row was heard to comment: 'Dear! Dear! What a contrast to the home life of our own dear Queen.' #BookWormSat

Poem for your Saturday ~ Lisel Mueller There Are Mornings —Even now, when the plot calls for me to turn to stone,/But the plot calls for me to live,/Inside the house the mirrors burn when I pass.

#PostboxSaturday I had occasion to limp the leafy streets of Cheltenham Spa this week. I found this ornate Penfold in Lansdown Road

Slapping the dust of reality off and making way to delusion.

I’m gutted :(

A witch knows her patch as intimately as her lover's skin. Knows where spring lingers late, woodland groves whose green canopy closes last. She knows spots of ultimate bluebells to be weaved between, places the Ghost Bear comes to find final ransoms. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #FolkwitchFriday

The 90s embodiment of a Hammer archetype (tweed jackets, signet ring, occult knowledge), with a hellraising, psychedelic rock-worshipping past, mentoring a teenage girl without being paternalistic or creepy. I wish we could watch the spin-off series Ripper tonight 💔

Oh, what a loss! In my childhood he was the formidable King Uther (with a side job as a Krillitane headteacher), and as an adult I got to know him as the far more loveable Giles A stellar and versatile actor, and – from everything I've heard – a real gent off-screen Farewell, Anthony Head!

Bloody hell. I saw Anthony Head doing Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror in the West End in 1990, when he was still (to me) just that guy from the coffee advert, and he was wonderful. Fuck’s sake, Death. Look at the list we sent

Covering a year 7 music class. They have to make a PowerPoint on a reggae artist. Had to gently explain to them not Michael Jackson. Bless their polycotton socks, they'd never heard of Bob Marley, so now currently playing in the background. There are worse ways to spend an hour.

This was no boat accident.
