Haven’t been buying many records lately, but have filled a few gaps with classics I’d been meaning to get for…decades First 👇 Was reminded I needed this every time I heard that Brian Eno line, “We saw the lovers, the modern lovers. And they looked very good, they looked as if they could” 1/4 🧵

Now reading - 1913: The Year Before The Storm (2012) by German art historian Florian Illies A chronological, month by month micro history of a year in the West - a massive undertaking that Illies approaches with throwaway nonchalance Basically catnip for a reader like me… #booksky #nowreading

Tonight’s BBC Archive pick (I should start a podcast or a Substack on these) - Jonathan Glancey in 1988 on the changing motivation of architects working on public space, and what was then being done wrong. Remains v relevant 40 years later. (Also features Pet Shop Boys) youtu.be/rKiQGrAtqcY?...

Who fancies a tour of probably the stupidest medieval sight in Britain, the 13th century Chillingham Castle? Of course you do! Owned by villainous aristocrat Humphry Wakefield (Dominic Cummings's father in law), it’s like entering the mind of a very mad, very rich person… 🧵 #medievalsky
Went on a good, long walk that included seeing Castle Bolton, which has nothing to do with either Bolton the city or the similarly named Bolton Abbey. But it is rather pleasingly located in a village that’s also called…Castle Bolton 🧵 #medievalsky

Now reading - October: The Story of the Russian Revolution (2017) by China Miéville Surprisingly I’ve never read any Miéville, and whilst I might be a bit wary of novelists having a go at writing history, this is really enjoyable so far! #booksky
Lived in Yorkshire for years but inexplicably never visited the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves waterfall before now - no not the sex one, the one where they have the stick fight Needless to say it was a bit dry today #filmsky

The only respectable use for Facebook nowadays is to see what kind of passive aggressive content is being posted on local community pages 🤌 Also, who eats eclairs in the year of our lord 2026?
