Heads up. If you’re one of the many many people I’ve tried to convince to come to Belfast for the book festival, now’s the time to make that dream come true. The programme is live and it is cracking belfastbookfestival.com/festival-pro...
Thanks for posting all this information.
I found the longer speech, the whole speech is so heartfelt inappropriate now as well. youtu.be/HfXmpJRZPYI?...
Ich thynke but litel of a Mondaye bleake
Tuesday grey and Wednesdaye eke
Thursdaye Ich care not for thee
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love
[dreamye lute arpeggio]
Mondaye thou kanst fall awaye
Tuesdaye, Wednesdaye, myne herte slaye
No mirthe ys founde upon Thursdaye
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love
NEW BLOGPOST: "The Howard Mallet Centre 1977" lostcambridge.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/t... Before MC Hammer came along, #LostCambridge had this splendid and much-missed youth centre. The Cambridge Evening News ran a feature on it 49 years ago. Have a look at what it provided for.
Three books titled What If, Cod and One of Us.
Just a slob like one of us
The cover of the book *This is How You Lose the Time War* by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?
Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

This is Kenny, he is what you might call a Cambridge character, I love Kenny, I met him pretty much the first day I arrived here in 94 and the bastard hasn't aged a day in all that time. I do not know how he does it, I suspect he has been touched by the gods. This book will be stunning. Buy it. X
This is just a note to say
that I have eaten the falcon
in a widening gyre
and that you were probably saving for anarchy
Forgive me
it was delicious
so rough
and full of passionate intensity
That looks like an interesting book! Hope you have a lovely time.
you might think “i’m an adult, i don’t need a child’s picture book read to me” but you do
you really really do
View along a narrowing street with shops either side and coloured Christmas lights hung in a zigzag down it. People are walking along the street, both towards and away from the camera. In the background, against a darkening sky of grey blue and a ripple of slightly mauve clouds, is the Octagon of Ely Cathedral with its lantern lit from below.
Ely at Christmas.

Taken on Murlough Beach, around this time of the year about four or five years ago. One of my favourite beaches in Northern Ireland.
"I think the best strategy in the age of AI is: bet on yourself… unique work made well with huge amounts of love is actually going to become more valuable in the AI era." A very heartening story about the brilliant Naomi Alderman buying back “Zombies, Run!” www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

An illustration for An Enemy at Green Knowe.
The witches’ cats have driven the birds from Green Knowe’s garden. But one of the boys has painted a banner, lit a lantern and is buying his hair with the hair of Hanno the escaped gorilla (from a previous book). The spirit of the gorilla will help.
An old, weathered red British telephone box stands abandoned in an overgrown rural area. The paint is faded and chipped, and the glass panels are cloudy with grime. Thick green ivy has climbed up the sides and across the roof, almost entirely engulfing the structure. Surrounding it are tall grasses, tangled branches, and bare trees, creating a sense of long neglect. The scene has a muted, slightly desaturated tone, emphasizing the decay and the box’s gradual reclamation by nature.

Once essential to the rhythm of daily life
it now stands unloved and forgotten
swallowed by time
My print ‘Flounce’. In the foreground a running along a pathcompletely black figure strikes a pose against a dark background. In the distance is silhouetted a gothic looking house with just its windows lit, the only points of colour in an otherwise black and white (and grey) drawing.

Smashed cucumber salad is a great way of using them up. I particularly like the versions with gochugaru.

The summer of 2020 saw the stunning installation of King’s College’s Back Lawn of a wildflower meadow. The conversion of the previously manicured lawn, dating back to 1722, has boosted biodiversity as well as being a glorious sight.

To the complaint There are no people in these photographs, I respond, There are always two people:
the photographer and the viewer. (Ansel Adams)
