In the 1980s, when there was a gap in daytime TV, ITV would play classical music with a sci-fi video.

For a lot of people, it's been a weird "did it really happen and why does no one else remember it?" memory.

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Hello

Your dog Zak reminded me of a fun picture I took a while ago of a Greyhound.

The lovely Josh the Greyhound posed next to this street art mural near Catford station in London.

The dog's shadow lined up nicely with the dogs on the wall

Decided to open the box of Cordon Bleu cookery course magazines from a bygone age that I inherited from my granny. Very first issue has this most startling Chicken Veronique front and centre.

Let’s hope they don’t do any rain seeding in London. 🙃
