Returning pianist, reader, writer, rider. It’s better to travel hopefully than to arrive. Spare me the DMs, thank you.

Long Island by Colm Tóibin. A worthy sequel to Brooklyn.

Future Islands never do that. Every song has a definitive ending.

In Berlin and reading this. Excellent read enhanced by the beautiful @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

An alliance of an independant Scotland, Wales and United Ireland. And ask Norway if they’d like to join too. 💪

All jostling for a place on the gravy train.

Glad to hear they cancelled The Lazarus Project, although sympathy for those out of work as a result. But it really was a dreadful mish-mash. And the fact that season two ended with the two most annoying characters as the sole survivors makes me glad there will be no season 3.

Alias Grace. Not quite sure how I’ve managed not to read Margaret Atwood until now. Handmaid’s Tale is up next.

All mine are manual transmission, of course. Got to have a little drivability. 😄

On my third Golf. As someone not much interested in cars, I just want something that works without any fuss. Present incarnation is a 2011 model with very low mileage.

And announce Zelensky as the Nobel Peace Prize winner on the same day.

Highly recommend one of these, pre-heated on full temp before slapping the dough on. Pile on toppings as quickly as possible and back into the full blast oven for fifteen minutes. Crispy crust every time.

Still on this. Brilliant. Strange. Highly original.

The second book - Gormenghast - is just as good, if not better. The third one, Titus Alone is quite different in tone but still interesting. But anyway, I always thought the first two stand perfectly well on their own.

Here’s our Battersea girl Juno working on her innocent look.

Just finished Gabriel’s Moon by William Boyd. A bit disappointing, in my humble opinion. Not a patch of his magnificent Any Human Heart.

Oh, apparently it’s #internationalcatday so here’s a photo of Vinny demanding his share of my lunch.

I’ll take a TR6/TR5/TR4A over one of these any day.
