Lovely and calm in Swansea Marina after sundown. 💙
Calm still water in a marina with golden sunset light and clear blue sky reflected in the water. Lights were on around the Pump House on the right hand side.

Ever the master of his craft, Rik Mayall switches effortlessly and hilariously from Alan B’Stard to Rick/Richie in this Comic Relief sketch. Brilliant.

Poet Dylan Thomas' birthplace and childhood home. No 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, Uplands, Swansea, Wales. The front has two sash bay windows painted cream with a green stripe. There's a wooden signpost in front proclaiming the miles to various Dylan-associated places.

Windows.

A dark, slightly blurred view through a hotel window at night to a building covered in a clear tarpaulin wrap. Several of the windows in the building are lit in shades of red & pink and above light blue. These are glowing through the tarpaulin. A clock face on the building reads 10.45 pm.

One of St Paul's studios in Talgarth Road, West London. Tall broad art deco style windows set in the roof to allow maximum light for "bachelor artists" to work. Ornamental stone detail and 19th century brickwork.

So here's a thing. I help run my local food bank, and we're doing this: 12 Days of Christmas Giving.

It's the busiest time of year for us and we have to build up our stocks right through December.

I know you're not in N4, but all food banks are in the same boat, so if you can help please do! 🙏🎄

2 Dec: In #Norse lore, Frigg watches over marriage, fertility & motherhood. When her son Baldr fell to a mistletoe arrow, she knelt beside him in grief. Her tears touched the bare sprig that struck him, and each drop turned into a white berry—a reminder to cherish those we love.

Here's the pill at Oxwich Bay. We all need some blue!💙
A wonderful white cloud like an explosion in the blue sky is reflected in the calm shallow river running through marshes into the sea at Oxwich Bay.

This will take about 25 minutes of your time but worth every second to be aware of the latest in the Climate Emergency that the BBC, media outlets - and the Government - are ignoring.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

The windmill on the marsh. Winter is a truly beautiful season in many parts of the UK, including here at Cley-next-the-Sea. The sky is big and the air is clean and crisp.
