I'm sorry. I don't really do the football thing... never have.
But if you want to know everything about the pastoral idyll ... my favourite Finlay jam jar:
Virgil discovered the evening. /
Rousseau picked the first wild flower
[apologies, bad photos]

I don't know, every day there is something - no, there are lots of things.
So to remind us of what we are dealing with, here again is a postcard made by the great Derek Boshier back in 2016:
"I must not lie about my life - Donald Trump"

When I see a clock with no hands I think of two things: Cézanne's great painting La Pendule Noire 1869-1871 and the Communards putting an end to the time of their rulers, a premonition of Burroughsian Present Time.

Good idea Ian, made me reach for 'Opponents, Audiences, Constituencies and Community' as reprinted in Hal Foster's 'Postmodern Culture' - a book I read a lot 40 years ago, but not much since. Thank you - good way to start Saturday!

Tonight the best place to spend Halloween was at Music We'd Like To Hear: Symphonies of John White at St Mary at Hill.
The best evening for music I have had in a while and a great stage for the Return of George W. Welch.
A truly exciting programme for a wonderful evening. Thank you.

Interesting photos marketing Tom Phillips house on Talfourd Road "last on the market in 1953". Long shots of his living and working spaces "adorned with decades of its previous occupant's creative process - a living historical record of one of Peckham's most-celebrated artists" (look at the ceiling)
