Another splendid episode. I just love the idea of a not too happy to see you squid. I hope you're thinking of sending this off somewhere at some point? It deserves a wider audience. If I ever get any grandchildren, I want to read this to them...

Marvellous stuff. A spell to cast upon any blasted heath. I wonder if you'd consider reading this aloud and adding to the ABC Soundcloud collection? It would be fantastic.
Your use of the name Sven in connection with shadows reminded...

Lovely response to the IP. Have you ever seen the film 'The Last Unicorn'? My children adored it when they were small - in fact both have their own copies now because they wore out our old videotape! This reminded me of that - the fleeting...

Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2019
I can't imagine what these anniversaries must be like for a native New Yorker. I made my first visit to the city at the end of last year, and visited the twin towers memorial and museum. Profoundly moving, and even on my side of the pond it...
