Day 2 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. We gently take the Master of Moss from box. He’s old and fragile, made from twig, clay and clumps of Moss gathered on Barrowcross. We find him a respectful place on the tree and hope he sleeps the season. His waking would be terrible

"This fall, I presented my paper, 'More of a Comment than a Question, ' at the main conference in my field. Because the college has eliminated travel funding for faculty, I covered the cost by selling off-season Girl Scout cookies to adults having panic attacks over the election."

Goodnight from the Cat-in-the-Wall pub, where Lucy Goss has been given the honour of leaving out the mummified moggies ceremonial saucer of milk. Goodnight from the Grey Lady of Maplewyck Farm, crossing the yard with blood on her apron as always. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight from David Ash, the distortion pedal on his bass guitar arousing ire in every resident phantom at The Ice House nightclub. Goodnight from Ashcourt’s Meymott Street, its bruised tenements weeping new soot scar sigils under cover of power cut darkness. Goodnight from Hookland.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Happy Thanksgiving. You don’t have to believe in the premise of the holiday (I sure as hell don’t), but: you can believe in good friends, the family we choose, and sharing food, happiness, maybe good movies. That’s what Thanksgiving is to me, and the specifics don’t matter. Find joy in each other.

Goodnight from Jenna Little, dropping something more than ten pence pieces into the Meldon Hill Wishing Well. Goodnight from David Severs, wondering if a packet of 20 John Player Special is enough of a ritual offering to ensure safe crossing to the Gore Islands. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight from Jack Hurley, still taking helpful directions from his dead wife as he pushes their Vauxhall Victor F towards Burwood. Goodnight from Chas Foster, fixing newspapers to the windows of his shed so no-one can see him making illegal sprite traps. Goodnight from Hookland.

Random old lady memory...does anyone else remember calling to order stuff from the Delias catalog in the 90s? The girls who answered the phone always sounded like they were having fun. Teenaged me assumed they all looked cute and working those phones was like being in a Chemical Brothers video.
