A sphinx for a winter's evening:
Love this 😍
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Gracie has gone walkabout for the last 30+ hours. Saw her in some very thick ivy on a neighbour's back wall. Ignoring my constant calling. Worried.

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.

Co-written by the Go-Go's and Fun Boy Three. Both brought out their own versions. This one upbeat, the other not so much. Both excellent. #pophistory #music #80's
The Go-Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed” peaks at #20 today in 1981.
“That song is really unique in its structure and .. melodically, it’s such a fun song,” said Belinda Carlisle. “And of course, when you get the reaction of the audience to the song when you do it live, it makes it even better.”

As a youngster, this old rainforest oak may well have lived alongside wolves as ecosystem partners.
It's almost impossible to conceive just how much ecological richness, abundance, + functionality we've lost in Ireland.
But a lot could return: it's OUR choice. #Rewilding 🌍
