Tall trees with pale, lightly textured bark rise straight upward from a sloped forest floor covered in bright green ferns. Their branches form a layered canopy that filters sunlight, allowing glimpses of blue sky between leaves. The upward viewpoint emphasizes height, vertical lines, and the quiet atmosphere of a coastal woodland.

A great big thank you to the students of #Slough Creative Academy for their incredible Winter Showcase, with performances thrilling the audience, especially local school children.

No doubt it’ll inspire some to join the arts and #EntertainmentIndustry.

Then there's Mick Herron's sublime writing in Slough House - am rereading all the books before reading Clown Town, and IMO they're even better second time through. But Slough House contains a couple of the most beautiful passages of writing I've come across.

All politicians need to be screened for the dark triad of human psychological traits:

Psychopathy
Narcissism
Machiavellianism

We also need to knock down our grandiose buildings like Parliament and house politicians in run-down 80s office buildings in Slough so they can just do their fucking jobs.

2/ Now, the upside down/illogical makes sense, ironically. It’s historically a long decline/decay. I’m fully invested in helping my fellow beings during this horrific decay, yet am making my focus on facilitating grass roots new build, doing what I can before I slough off this mortal coil.

Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.

" Hey, spider lady... I have a weird question for you.

When your species comes into the world do they have these weird-ass amber sacs that like to slough off at random?

Cuz it's weird I saw a spider like that earlier... "

Or why is though not pronounced like Thow (or thou)

That’s literally it. There’s a bunch more detail in there with characters like “Deacon” and “The Boot”. At one point there’s also a crossover with Mick Herron’s Slough Horses universe.
