I was just dictating a note to myself about Pasolini’s short film La Ricotta (1963), and the title came out as Larry Carter.

Please take care everyone on Brixton Hill. The pavements on the side streets are incredibly slippy.

The beach from which Mary Q of Scots left for England never to return. Called Port Mary in her honour, it’s at the end of a firing range and so intermittently inaccessible.

One of the loveliest places we visited in Dumfries & Galloway on the last day of 2025 was the memorial to Gavin - Ring of Bright Water -Maxwell overlooking the beach where he exercised Mijbil with the Bay of Luce beyond.

The highlight of today in Galloway Forest Park was meeting a Polish family who had spent the night in a tent amongst the trees while engaging in paranormal research.

I have just finished Paris 1919 by @markdoyle.bsky.social a wittily written, penetrating analysis of John Cale’s 1973 album. He is especially interesting on Cale’s debt to Dylan Thomas, Dada and Surrealism, and the geopolitical consequences of the 1919 Peace Conference. Antarctica starts here…
