#OTD 1843, a certain Mr Dickens took delivery of pre-publication copies of "A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas" —wonder if he realised just how famous it would become! Here's a gallery of John Leech's original illustrations for it victorianweb.org/art/illustra...

This is not a painting. It is made entirely of wood, its surface flat. A detail from the 15th-century "Studiolo Gubbio", one of the finest examples of intarsia, the masterful art of fitting together pieces of wood to make images: publicdomainreview.org/essay/e...

'Bananas.' (1956) Throughout his career Lucian Freud was fascinated with plants and approached the painting of them without smothering them with symbolic meaning much the same as his mentor Cedric Morris, himself an evocative and unsentimental flower painter.

There’s plenty of reviews of Love Actually that do the rounds but this really is nicely done.
Sorry if this is your favourite Christmas film.
There are lots more such videos on the Pitch Meetings YouTube channel.

Thread.
As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.
Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

It's important to remember that most cop shows are "copaganda" and give a very inaccurate picture of what police are like. For example, almost no real police departments have a neurodivergent civilian consultant who helps them solve puzzle murderers.

Many of you will know "Carol of the Bells" was a Ukrainian song.
Today is the birthday of composer Mykola Leontovych, born in Vinnytsia and murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921, aged 44 - some things don't change.
"Shchedryk" sung by Ukraine choir 'Homin' in Austria's parliament

Meanwhile on Facebook, a micropub in Dursley had a dead DJ performing this evening. I’m sure there were lots of questions.
