#NowPlaying Joe Satriani, "Surfing with the Alien". Haven't played this one in a while, but I was in the mood for bit of shredding, and Satch does it better than most... The rights to use John Byrne's artwork were not renewed - and since 2018, the Surfer has been replaced with a guitar headstock.
Think this was the only option at line 4…crafty one…#Wordle 1,932 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
The late, and truly great, Jan Morris, born 100 years ago today - 2 October 1926 - in Clevedon, Gwlad yr Haf (Somerset). I was proud to be part of this beautiful celebration of her life and work, anchored by her son Twm Morys. Watch here (English subtitles available): www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I didn't know Sara Karloff was still with us but I'm very glad to hear she still is. Be interesting to hear the new score...(I do like Philip Glass's for the Lugosi "Dracula", for example, but possibly more as an individual piece of music than as part of the film)

Good first line (and new starter word) leading to a very satisfactory 3. #Wordle 1,924 3/6 🟨🟨⬛🟨🟩 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Back from the dentist minus a tooth (or at least the few fragments of one that collapsed a decade ago). It's taken a long time to get to this point but now I basically have a functioning set of gnashers again.
