Joseph's Boy has 26 chapters 👇
- so if you started at the beginning of Advent, it would take you through to Boxing Day.

But nothing wrong with beginning a little later and making it last well into Christmas week 😜 😊 ✴️

And... THERE'S A QUIZ!!! 😵😵😵😵‍💫🤩

Knights of the Round TARDIS 😉
Just listened to it! Can’t believe I left it this long. I absolutely adored it!

MONK: You stranded me… repeatedly… with an inane tehehehehe!

Loved the idea of the Monk spending eternity searching bars for his TARDIS 😂 such a wonderful adventure!

Went early with Mary.
She's supposed to be Day 17, but the whole Inciting Incident revolves around her!

In Falkirk on the Cladhan Hotel side of the road after the weekly demo the pavement & parking area are spotless. Facing them.......on the Master-race side it's a midden of discarded food, cans, & miscellaneous rubbish.
A mess for others to clean up.

Rory's the King's Page in his school's Nativity and he has to carry one of the gifts.
He's been encouraged to develop his own line after the king says, "I bring you frankincense," but my suggestion of, "Actually, I think you'll find it's Frankincense's Monster," was vetoed by his teacher.

The kids have taken over the Jesus story, scattering in their wake a trail of loaves, fishes, a Magi washbag, a shiny gardener, a sudden influx of sheep & a wrecked roof

The Young Testament: "quirky, funny, immensely enjoyable"
Aimed at 8-12s, sneakily enjoyed by adults 🤪

When St Andrew's Day met Shakespeare Sunday 🎭

The Scotch Play: Shakespeare, the king, and the friends who made a legend

(Gaelic and Scots are in the news today.
We can't offer the former, but several main characters in The Scotch Play speak Scots, if you want to sample it)

A special shout-out to the people who do starter packs

Some people love them, some hate them, to each their own

It takes time & effort to
- Vet accts
- find quality accts to include
- Create a pack

Starter packs are beneficial, and can help you meet new people who you might not find on your own

“--it's not gasps and blood and falling about---that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all ---now you see him, now you don't, that the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back...”

I know this petition has much more support than it currently has. Please share far and wide. Petition to require generative AI to carry a watermark and to make it illegal to use a person’s likeness in generative AI without permission.

Petition: Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent
As AI generated content becomes increasingly realistic, we think laws should be put in place to prevent misuse. All such media should carry a permanent watermark or disclosure, alongside a blanket ban...

Oh god. A sublime writer. R&G is perfection, Arcadia is exquisite, and Shakespeare in Love remains the best movie about WS ever made. Safe travels, Tom.

I got my annual email from the boys’ aunt yesterday checking in on what books to buy them for Christmas. What great kids books will you be buying, or what would you recommend we seek out for the kids in our lives this Christmas?

The Scotch Play is currently only 99p/$1.99! Or free on KU 🎭📚

Dr Chris Laoutaris (Associate Professor, Shakespeare Institute) says:

"An immersive and heart-thumping tale... By turns witty, thrilling and poignant, this superb play is a remarkable achievement and a fitting memorial to the Bard!”
