The Girl With Colitis Goes By

We’ve all got them, those song lyrics corrupted somewhere between our ears and our brain cells

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Seven)

'You needed someone you could manipulate,' I said. 'You just had to be given the right job,' said Hamish.

Lustrum (IP) (With apologies to Robert Harris)

It is, or should be, a truth universally acknowledged that a world run by David Attenborough and Mary Beard would be a sane and civilised place and a much better bet than we have at the moment

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Six)

Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Five)

Even the members of the diaspora cannot agree on the best way to save it.

I'm not unaffected by such

Posted on Wed, 04 Jun 2025

I'm not unaffected by such deaths, more angry and exasperated and desperately sorry for those who loved them. People have always done dangerous and downright stupid things, cocooned in a belief in their own invincibility. It's desperately sad.

Lovely, Jenny, brought back my own happy memories of childhood holidays at the Cornish coast. 'Youth is a snapshot restored' - what a wonderful way of putting it.

This is so funny, Sean, and I also Googled, and now I'm totally enthralled by the discussion about differences between Dream Pop and Shoegaze. There's always something new to learn in this wonderful world.

I love that phrase, 'Worse

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025

I love that phrase, 'Worse things happen at sea' - it was my grandmother's response to pretty much any calamity, be it petty or catastrophic. I occasionally use it myself, and my kids look at me in complete bewilderment.

A lovely family...
