Someone said there’d be cake. Writer, originally Chicawgowan, living in Oyreland for the craic. Older - and stronger - than dirt.

Photo from hanging around the docks last week. It shows what I still call the new power station (built in the 90s) the continuing shuffling of heaps of sand on the outer harbour, and the Britannia monument, etched by JMW Turner in 1829.

Photo across the Yare from Gorleston pier. Gulls aplenty.Turner's etching across the Yare, as seen from Gorleston High Street, specifically I think, from the beer garden at the Short Blue pub, which is still there.

Drawing created by Danielle Koren, c.1979, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This drawing on scrap paper is very small, found among Edward Adamson’s files of personal correspondence which contain many cards & letters from individuals sent after release

A cross hatched pen and ink drawing in black and white of two beautiful thin white youths dressed in Tudor clothing, doublet and hose with ruffs.
Their dress is masculine but their gender is not obvious, they are reminiscent of Orlando, the one on the right is wearing lighter clothes and has fair hair and stands, arms folded, feet crossed with a ballet dancer’s grace and poise in the foreground, the one on the left has darker hair and clothes and stands hands on hips, left foot pointing out, as if preparing to curtsy. 
Their shadows are long across the chequered floor and the background is black

This is Top 10 of the somewhat obscure books I tell everybody to read bc it's trippy to think how recent most outdoor light is
