No rain here, but it came within a field or two. Close enough that we could hear the rain laughing, hear the rain handing out crisp new five pound notes, hear the rain praising home decoration choices of the houses it fell upon.

Goodnight

I do remember them in the playing fields of my country primary school in about 1968

Orchids revived, the corpse ambulant and a poetic ruined abbey. These are the news stories I want to read.

The wonderful @treadwells-books.bsky.social have signed copies of 'Hookland Fragments Volume One' with a free Right To Reside card back in stock if you want to buy from one of my favourite bookshops. www.treadwells-london.com/product-page...

Goodnight

In vain the weather-vane #Hookland

On one balcony the kumquat has flowered and haunts the air, an old Chinese New Year table decoration from years back suddenly given heart. On the other is honeysuckle, very strong and luxurious in the evening cool, facing East. Meanwhile that hot, broken unholy wind.

My father was a farmer and I feel for them

I have been into @treadwells-books.bsky.social and signed a huge pile of ‘Hookland Fragments’ and inserted dozens of Right To Reside cards, so there are definitely back in stock if you want a copy from one of my favourite bookshops.

Goodnight

This Etruscan vase shows a youth playing a flute whilst riding a dolphin. It may be a reference to the tale of Arion, a Greek poet from Lesbos, who was kidnapped by pirates and saved when his beautiful playing summoned a getaway dolphin to help his escape. 🕰️c350BC 🏛️📷National Archaeology Museum 🇪🇸

During decades of my ghost investigations, the most convincing of cases did not occur at ruins or the grand homes of aristocrats. They occurred in Co-op stores, railway waiting rooms, in unpretentious terraced houses. For the ghost is where we live. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Goodnight from The Ruffled Fox pub, yet again swollen with rumours about what they’ve found up at Stonecliffe Quarry. Goodnight from the banks of the River Stannis at Long Anger, where a crowd is waiting to see if the phantom of the flaming man makes his annual appearance. Goodnight from Hookland.

Thank you, I'll drop you a note

Goodnight

I call them Heatherwick Hotboxes. They are an abomination. A complete design failure.

Goodnight
