This Is It by William Letford Skint, baw ragged, poackets ful eh ma fingers, cannae afford tae burn toast an it’s November. Christmas is close. Av been away bit noo am back an ivery coarner is a different colour cause am hame an memories ur painted wae mischief. Am outside Gregs eatin a macaroni pie an a busker picks up eez guitar an plugs in eez amplifier. The sound fae the strings is like frost. Eez young an the dreams thit wur boarn in eez bedroom wake me up. Am watchin people passin an they know thit eez good bit they don’t want tae look. They turn thur heeds an tilt thur ears an jog on. If a hud a spare pound a wid throw it bit a don’t so a jist listen. I’d like tae tell um thit this is it, this is where the hammer hits the stane an sparks ur made, standin oan a corner in yur hame toon, an audience eh one radge eatin a macaroni pie, bit singin, wee man, yur singin.

#35: Clutter
A screenshot of a headline from an Adrian Chiles Guardian column. It reads "I've always wanted the perfect reason to declutter. Now I've found it." It was my father’s fervent wish that I take possession of all of his experiments after his death, that I maintain his laboratory—my home—exactly as he had left it, with the only proviso being that I might further develop any of his unfinished projects if I saw a way to complete them. I had always been his favourite, the one most like him in temperament and intellect (my brainwaves being patterned on his own had practically ensured our compatibility) and the only one of us he fully trusted with the details of his processes. “323,” he would often say to me (for that was the number assigned to me at my inception), “the secret of life itself lies within these four walls. And that secret, once discovered, will change the world.” Having only known these four walls, and having but a hazy conception of the world beyond, I could only imagine. My own life was bound by the constraints of the electrical cable which powered my second-hand heart. Other experiments relied on different artificial means of vitality; 18 (a hand kept alive by a concoction of fluids); 167 (a pair of legs kept perpetually moving by a set of mechanical rotors); 205 (a brain encased in an ever-growing fungus), all of which took an exhausting daily routine to maintain. As time went on, I began to long for some space around me, and to free those poor creatures—barely siblings, barely alive—from their half lives, but my promise to my father still hung heavy over me. Until I realised that if I could finish his work, if I could perfect his process, then I could dispose of all his unfinished experiments, for they would not be needed anymore. And so I took all that I had learned from my father and applied it to his corpse. Tonight when I complete the process, when I reanimate his brain and body, father—or rather 339—will walk forth from these four walls and will receive all the wonder the world has to give him. And I will finally be able to make some room for myself.

I have some good news about Sylvester.🧵

I was in Sleat yesterday so I stopped at the house to feed him. The house has recently been sold and the new people have moved in, a couple from London. I spoke to the new owner and they said Sylvester had been sick so they took him to the vet.

This is Sylvester. He's a feral cat who lives in the grounds of an old house in Sleat. The people moved out but they provide food for him and whenever I'm passing I stop by to feed him and give him a scritch.
an old black and white and brown cat with quite long fur. one of the tips of his ears is missing.
