The lone Lowryesque walker silhouette framed perfectly against the biggest patch of white in the picture, perfectly symmetrical to those amazing chimney stacks as he heads to his scooter. Great timing as well as great composition. There’s definitely a book in these, with accompanying texts/poetry.

Enjoyed your contributions last night Robin. Good to see you find treasure in the charity shops of Reading too. By its name only it’s possibly the perfect town for you. In reality probably not the perfect town for anyone!

Wandering round a charity sale this morning I saw this and thought of you Robin.

Watched this last night Robin and found it in equal parts utterly moving and brilliantly funny. If you and your Dad had little ways to say I love you to one another privately this is a subtle, delightfully charming, wonderful way of making that love public. Thank you for sharing it.

The world would be a far poorer place without you Robin, even if what you offer is a drop in the ocean, it’s a contribution to be proud of.

Two great choices. Played both at the same time would be interesting. The 7th Symphony combined with Debaser might work.

Technically you’d lick his right cheek. Which is even more weird.

Fossils of the Mind pretty much reduced me tears. Wonderful broadcasting of a kind unheard of elsewhere. I’ll try and work out who to send daily emails to until you get recommissioned.

The music across the bottom appears to be a verse and part of the chorus to the 90’s pop song Things can only get better. Strange image but also very nicely designed.

It’s just depressing. I’ve no idea how this country, which I once loved, became this vile place quite so quickly.

Agreed on the recommendation though I’ve not watched it in years. My rare railway journeys these days tend to be more about whether the covered up graffiti patches resemble Rothko as much as anything else.

Is the middle book all about Sergiu Celibidache, the incredible, if controversial and long dead Romanian conductor, or a guide to Celibacy? I know which I’d prefer.

Likewise. I’ve no idea where it came from, though I suspect it was sent to me. Always makes me giggle.

Covid will leave horrendous marks on mankind for centuries to come, but one of the more trivial things I’m intrigued by is how many years into the future we will still find instructions on how to wash your hands on toilet walls.

The small detail I cling to is that Johnson apparently “wrote” a biography of Churchill and clearly held him in esteem. I hope that deep down, on dark nights he realises if he sought to emulate his idol he fell pathetically, laughably short. One will be remembered well, the other, the opposite.

Coil always made me laugh. Something so OTT about them.

Disturbing in a very different way, this cover version has been haunting me all year:
