Jaws is 50.
They may not have got along but I love that Dreyfuss appreciated Shaw’s talent.
Richard Dreyfuss is 77
Obviously, Robert Shaw is magnificent delivering The Indianapolis speech but Dreyfuss listening quietly enrapt massively helps to sell it, too.
I later found out that he said he wasn’t acting, he was just in awe of Shaw.

As winter descends on the UK it might help to know that there's still floral colour to be found throughout the winter. There are a small group of plants that lift my spirits between now & February-here are a few of them (& my illustrations alongside):

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from the southern edge of a moor at sunset as a vehicle progresses downhill towards me and the cold winter sky gathers its Byzantine thoughts.

Exactly how I felt being at the birth of our son.

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health.

After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.
Bloody hell! It’s been a long time since a book has brought me to tears. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Thank you so very much for writing Everything Will Swallow You. Book of the year. #BookSky #TheStorygraph
