late nights late mornings soon be back to late nights early mornings 🥱

Late walk in the embers of Christmas, owls piping flute notes into a night so crystal sharp the chill was almost ringing, stars in decadent, wild abundance: the consoling beauty of insignificance, a godless almost prayer for human things that matter all the fiercer for feeling small inside the vast

I shot the video while on holiday in California, on the San Mateo coastline that I used to call home. Huge thanks to Jeff Parry and the staff at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. I also paid visits to several friends who still live there, which was joyously reminiscent. 4/5 youtu.be/rlbIbGtwKic?...

It's Bookshop Day. *looks in the mirror* I'm a bookshop! So, it seems like a great time to encourage you to buy books from me. BUY BOOKS FROM ME PLEASE.

Happy little hobbit wandering around. Why is tomorrow approaching so fast... Just a little boat on a big wave ⛵

I have a spare ticket for Malcolm Middleton at The Hug & Pint this Friday if anyone is looking for one. £20.00

My pal, Brenda, has started to make her beautiful prints available at nuts prices. Most are now sold out but hopefully some will be made available again. She also does a zine called Here's Where You Belong which has just been reprinted. Check out her shop... brensweeney.bigcartel.com/product/here...

"Keshed vividly describes the strange beauty, stubborn pride and abject horror of lives brought low and broken. There's humour; but no hope." Big up @robtruestories.bsky.social for the latest awesome Keshed endorsement to add to the list, really homing in on the dark side 🙏🖤

Spent almost 4 hours in the local library today. Such a pull to this place. Picked a book off the shelf that caught my eye, and opened it. As I watched my daughter, so happy amongst the books, I smiled reading this. 💙 I fucking love books. 📚

I spent the afternoon slipping in and out from the beginning of sleep to this album. It was quite remarkable, my heart had a few pangs as the sound poured itself over me, the kind of pangs you get when you listen to something that really moves you. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Find myself with some hours all to myself - it doesn't happen often enough, so when time in solitude appears - and I don't already have plans - I can feel paralysed deciding what to spend them on. Music & books - I think I'll head there first. I'll blink & those hours of recharge will have gone.
