At 4½ I saw Neil Armstrong land. The first news event I remember. I avidly followed Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, and many Horizon specials on various landers and rovers.

Aw. RIP, the wonderful and bonkers Glen Baxter, 4 March 1944 – 29 March 2026

Listening to Dizzy. Watching the sleet. Working through my latest little obsession.

A day of making and (as it's fly cup time) looking at art.

So far this week. Four new bookshelves built and all fiction now re-shelved. I have some organisation, and shelf-space! I love doing this for the fun new juxtapositions. I hope that Father Brown and the Abbé de Choisy get on, now that the latter has been downgraded from memoir to fantasy. 🤣

Also just got recommended an Ethiopian cover of WAR PIGS!?!? youtu.be/8kVYdLjoyPE?...

Dafuq? Of course babies with something the colour of crema violently erupting from every orifice has been known to happen, but...

My home town can be remarkably civilized. Imagine being able to persuade the local Triffids to play cricket. At least I think that this is what the mural on the pavilion is showing. 🤣

NEW EXHIBITION: John Piper in the South Country Saturday March 7th - Saturday 6th June 2026 Join us for the first ever exhibition devoted to how Piper responded to the landscape and architecture of Wiltshire and Dorset, including Devizes- his favourite market town.

A reason to go to Edinburgh in late November, since the weather won't be the main attraction 😁.

New episode of Monstrosities Mon Amour. See the National Theatre through the eyes of an archaeologist: @reblambert.bsky.social explains how it’s like a henge. Also her love for Dolph Lundgren’s Masters of the Universe! johngrindrod.substack.com/p/monstrosit...

"We're going to train people how to not think for themselves, and in doing so deny them the opportunity to learn new skills." It's like the medieval church. "Don't bother learning Latin yourself. No need to read the bible; just trust the priests." Trust the Machine. The Machine will provide.
