Scotland has had problems with poorly maintained roads since at least the 18th Century. Take comfort in knowing that the Bard shared your pain. From across the centuries, ‘Epigram On Rough Roads’ #Burns #Poetry #Potholes

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like… tears in rain.

Variations on the Five of Cups. One of the most resonant of the Minot Arcana for me. The first time I saw it, it stopped me in my tracks.

A hidden Glasgow gem.

The Canterbury Pilgrims by
William Blake (1757–1827)

This, along with some smaller pieces is integrated into the wood paneling of a small room in Pollok House. I think it may be closed for refurbishhment at the moment, let's hope they keep these.

Rammellzee vs. K-Rob - Beat Bop
A very, very old experimental Rap record that has not really dated. Many will recognise random lines that have been sampled across Rap history. The Jean-Michel Basquiat cover is the icing on the cake.

Jesus Walks on Water, by Ivan Aivozovsky.
I like that this treats the character of Jesus as an eerie, supernatural being rather than a placid bearded fellow. Creepy even.
