The Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour film Somewhere In Time had the same effect on my fascination with the uncanniness of the past and I genuinely had many dreams in the following years of travelling back into the past…

We look up the places on maps and we’ll visit all the places in in the stories. Next time we go north we are going to Llyn Tegid!

…the kids a bedtime folktales story of how Taliesin came to be (greatest of the Welsh poets) from 1400 years ago and it turns out…. magic was real!!! You had it spot on :)

This is another favourite comfort movie along the similar vibes. Jack Deth: “Dry hair’s for squids…”

I’m really enjoying Human Kind audiobook on my cycle commute to work 👍
I’m also reading paperback of Flowers For Algernon. Both of them at them at the same time is full on🤯

Just listening to the audiobook of Human Kind - A Hopeful History recommended to me by @hatmanalchemy.bsky.social which uses science and facts to prove the exact opposite. It’s the ordinary people who shine in a crisis.

I’ll let you know how I get on with it :) What you are saying reminds me of Bill Hicks critique of the news and of this I saw on here the other day…

I’m reading (and trying my best to uderstand!) a book about that very subject. And it uses one of my favourite films, Zardoz, as it’s reference point!!

“These feelings are new to you. Not everything has to…….. be put into words.”

…and here’s the 4 year olds family of cyclops Splodges. I am sending straight to Cbeebies producers with my invoice.

Painting fun with the kids! I showed my 8 year old a Mondrian and told her it was all painted freehand and she said
“Wow, how did she do that?” Love that she assumed the artist was a woman :)

My midlife crisis smells like….

Now this is what I call singing “IN” the shower….

In a moment of synchronicity with the US election I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Ursula K. Le Guin - Eye of the Heron. It’s about two binary opposing sides in isolation, exiled on another world, heading to an inevitable confrontation. It’s about violence and non-violence. Deeply moving.

Feel free to pass this on…..

I saw this Alfa near the beach in Aberaeron at the end of August. Whaddya reckon…. 80’s?
