Quite impressed with the limerick-ing of the Schweppes copywriter in these 1935 Proms programmes advertisements…
A singer in Ilminster choir Sang well, but was lacking in foir. Now, trained on Schweppes Tonics, His upper harmonics Are the wonder of Somersetshoir. At a concert a fellow of Caius Spoilt the Brahms with a thunderous snaius, So the whole Philharmonic Cried "Take some Schweppes Tonic," And a don-more polite-added " plaius."

As the World Snooker Championship draws to a close I thought I might recreate a thread I enjoyed putting together over on Twitter: snooker players as composers.

Poor quality phone snap, but what a lovely bird.
Grainy pic of a female northern cardinal (I think). Amazing red beak.

The beauty of soft lines, of meandering lines...

There is an infinite beauty to moving water, waiting to be discovered! The purple of a winter evening's twilight is softly reflected in the fast moving waters of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal, Canada. The sublime textures and shapes of Namibia's dunes spring to life with the first light of day. There is beauty in simplicity! A harmonious interplay of lines, shape, textures and tones, as the first light of day touches the ridge lines of a coastal dune. It was mesmerizing to see how the scene transformed as the light crept into the shadows. For a short lived moment, the soft light of the morning sun draws beautiful, dreamy bands of satin across the tips of these otherwise inconspicuous dunes in Namibia's mesmerizing Sossusvlei region.

Two people, two red lights, a yellow line, and a misty train. #sharemondays2026
Two people, two red lights, a yellow line, and a misty train. Not much more to see than that tbh.

Up in my local woods again yesterday, and I bumped into this tree again. It's always a pleasure to see and photograph.

How cool is that electric-blue throat patch on this Brandt’s Cormorant! Unreal.

I have cultivated a strategy which guarantees I always win at Monopoly: I lose as quickly as possible. The remaining players think I've lost, but they're wrong. I escaped first, so I win.

The biggest contributor to copyright infringement is calling work "content". Work has value, but content does not. Since it has no value, there's no harm in infringement, right? We need to go back to recognising - and paying for - the value inherent in artistic works.
