‘Age Teaching Youth’ shows an old man who has no more use for books, having digested their contents. His robes are stone-like and resemble gravestones. He shows a book to a young girl, who has no interest in it; she indicates that her wisdom comes from the skies, or from nature...
Why be bleak when you can have Blake? William Blake self-portrait, 1802. Long article and podcast published 4 August on Sacred Web.
Endcliffe Park #Sheffield 31.07.26 Detail of the Queen Victoria statue near the entrance. Here's a song by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band to go with it: youtu.be/wxyTL9RFUm4?...
Endcliffe Park / Whiteley Woods #Sheffield 31.07.26 The water on one side of the rocks is moving swiftly. The water on the other side is mainly still. Pure liminal 4 real fam! Psychogeographic! Bordering on the hyperdelic!
Broomhill #Sheffield 31.07.26. I suppose it's still Whitham Road. A revenant of the old days and the shape of things to come. The sign on the left says COVID-19 Maintain Social Distance. The sign on the right is clear to read.
I have been fascinated by Lazarus for as long as I can remember and often wonder if Lazarus will rise from the dead on the last day, seeing he has risen already.
Westbourne Road #Sheffield 31.07.26 Beige chino trinity. You can have any shade of chino you want, as long as it's beige. They’re all the rage amongst middle management in sales. Their message to the world is, “Wear beige chinos!”
2005: The Sons of Amos Brearley visit [Weston Park Museum #Sheffield] and spend three days travelling through the eyes of what has been mistakenly identified as the head of a Romano-British goddess. One of the eyes of the ‘goddess’ is a crescent moon and the other is a black sun.
West Street #Sheffield 18.07.26 People often say to me, ‘Hey, man, what’s the difference between a goth and an emo?’ and I say unto them, ‘Hey, man, goths often say they are not goths, especially when they're in goth bands, and emos cover the tips of their noses with black make-up.’
Broad Lane #Sheffield 08.06.26 "Azure, an open book proper, edged gold, inscribed with the words Disce Doce between in fess two sheaves of eight arrows interlaced saltireways and banded argent, in chief an open crown or, and in base a rose also argent barbed and seeded proper." Que?
Bole Hills #Sheffield 08.07.26 Vision Creation Newsun youtu.be/j5PJVpKlM9Q?... You have to wait for 90 seconds until it gets going.
Siȝel, sister of Mona. Highways to the Sun. youtu.be/zblgju2Ou0M?...
28.06.26 Here’s one for all you bingo freaks out there… Knock at the door… I don't know if you'd call it Crookes or Tapton #Sheffield I imagine if they were selling their house, they'd go for Tapton.
Midfield Road #Sheffield 28.06.26. There is a lot of young people’s art on display in Crookes, which reflects very well on what might be called the spirit of the place.
The fence surrounding the bowls green at Crookes Social Club #Sheffield 19.06.26 and 28.06.26. The image on the right resembles a depiction of a row of terraced houses, particularly that section between the first and second vertical supporting pillars.
Katastrophenhaus, Cross Lane #Sheffield 16.06.26. From time to time I feel compelled to check that the catastrophe house is still standing.
Broad Lane #Sheffied 08.06.26. The wall surrounding St. George’s Church. I don’t know why there’s a TV screen set up on the pavement. It seems to be showing experimental films. Maybe it’s for the benefit of all the car people who get caught up in traffic jams during the rush hour.
Note the similarity in the drum patterns between 'Slowdive' by Siouxsie and the Banshees (1982) and 'Lucretia My Reflection' by Sisters of Mecy (1985). Here's 'Slowdive' www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERvH...

The exterior of some university building on Bolsover Street #Sheffield 08.06.26 I don't know what it houses - it could be a transformer, or waste from the chemistry department.
The tedious religious zealot George Fox. He seemed like quite a good laugh to begin with but he soon became tiresome by virtue of his self-righteous addiction to laying down the law. www.gutenberg.org/files/43031/...
18.07.26: Dapper dandy at the bottom of Fargate, so intent on dapper-dandying that he has failed to realise that the city of #Sheffield is falling over behind him. I blame the council.
SAY NO TO NOS! Part 93 or whatever it is... Another song that could be about Rave Vicar Brain and his ghastly acolytes, don't you think? @temporalboundary.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVkn... I'd say that SAHB were a great band at their best but they departed from their best too often.

SAY NO TO NOS! Part 23 or whatever it is... Mystery worshipper review from 1998: Nine O'Clock Community, Hill Top Chapel, Sheffield ship-of-fools.com/mystery/1998... 'The Nine O'Clock Service: An Exercise in Power and Control' temporalboundary.bigcartel.com/product/unde...
Sheffield Patrol Group@sheffpatgrp.bsky.social · 2w agoDespite the lyrical content, the Chris Brain-like preacher figure, contact between CV & Brain's band Tense, the fact that R. H. Kirk lived in Crookes, & that an ex-NOS kooks refuge features prominently in the video, this has nothing at all to do with the Abomination of NOS. youtu.be/ogn9Fvm-q6E?...
Congratulations! If you’re lucky, you can get a job in engineering or become a teacher and manage to pay off your student loan around the time you retire at the age of 75! University of #Sheffield, 18.07.26
