Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.
Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Mother Willow Tree. Ink on canvas.
This tells the story of the hunted hare protected by Mother Willow, who transforms hunters' blood into hare's blood, ensuring that they learn to live as the hare does.
Both story and music are by wonderful musician, Ange Hardy, from her album Bare Foot Folk.

So, celebrity authors need a break do they?
I’ll tell you who needs a break. The aspiring debut who’s spent literally thousands of hours honing their craft, only to be told their book doesn’t ‘fit the market’ or the risk-averse publishing world can’t see ‘where to place it’.

I've been spending a lot of thought trying to choreograph the events of an upcoming scene in my head. It's a crushing moment of disappointment for my protagonist in historical Hollywood.
A voice in my head just told me: You know the setting. You know these characters. Set them free and you'll see.

Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout.
Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

And remember, it's a secret ballot, so if you have multiple loves, you can say this to them all.
And good luck with none of them finding that out in Ireland.

This is the face of a guy going back to finish narrating an audiobook only to be told on the train that the session has been cancelled again due to flooding. Deep breaths. Dreams can come true, but that doesn't mean they're easy. (Ps, I do own other jumpers, I just feel like this one likes me)
