Dickensian and Victorianist. I also love the Flyers and New Wave music.

In my Bluesky life I'm reading Dickens or about Dickens on my veranda. In my other social media I'm Chrisocco5 or Chris M. Please join me. I don't post a lot, but I like to share interesting Dickens and/or Victorian information.
#DickensClub - of interest!

Spent a lot of my teenage years listening to the Moody Blues and the BlueJays. RIP 💙
John Lodge, the singer and bass guitarist for the British rock group the Moody Blues, died at 82. He wrote some of the band’s biggest hits, including “Ride My See-Saw” and “I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)."

So who's your favourite #Dickens actor? If you've seen David Lodge's BBC 1994 adaptation, it might be Tom Wilkinson (aka Pecksniff in Martin Chuzzlewitt). Brilliant! Here he is beside illustrator Fred Barnard's version victorianweb.org/art/illustra...
