My son took this at Pompeii. I love the composition, the frame, the mysterious quality of the image.
To me it speaks of time, passing moments
A disappointing result, but it was the third game in the week, and away against arguably the strongest team in the PL. We beat Bournemouth, drew at Anfield. Onwards and upwards….#SAFC

Madame Grès aka Alix Barton aka Germaine Krebs, one of my favourite designers, was born on this day in 1903. Known for her pleated silk jersey, she also experimented with all sorts of other drape techniques from the thirties to the eighties. Just a few here #SCADFASH #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

RIP, Jack Shepherd.
He attended Newcastle University Fine Art Dept, before going to drama school
He was a subtle and compelling actor who graced an extraordinary period of TV drama, as well as being a fine stage actor

I’m 60, and a professor. HE will probably survive just about long enough to take me to retirement, but not much longer. A kind of ‘merrie old England’ version of Oxbridge will survive, but the rest will be unrecognisable in a decade or so.
