The Delightful but Dark Victoria Schwab

May 12, 2021 · Leave a comment ·

*Absolutely laden with spoilers in Vicious, one of Ms Schwab's books. My pandemic induced reading marathon continues.  My relentless search for ghostly and strange literary fodder recently led me to Victoria Schwab (or V E Schwab as she also likes to be known.)  I’m four … Continue reading The Delightful but Dark Victoria Schwab

The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements featuring Birds by Anouk

April 7, 2021 · Leave a comment ·

My new-found passion for Gothic fiction continues apace.  I’ve just finished The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements, set in the mid-17th century, a time when your average local yokel firmly believed in witches and wizardry, alongside an equally firm belief that spouting the Lord’s Prayer, … Continue reading The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements featuring Birds by Anouk

Gothic Fiction and the Covid Jab

March 24, 2021 · Leave a comment ·

Blog. I have spent several days’ time travelling, without once leaving the places you are most likely to find me, i.e. stretched out on the couch or propped up by pillows on my bed (I do a lot of lying about.)  How did I achieve … Continue reading Gothic Fiction and the Covid Jab

A Short Piece on the Enabling Side-Effects of Technology

March 7, 2021 · 3 Comments ·

During the early 20th century there was much tech-scepticism. The belief that experimental Science could be a force for good; that Science (not God) would most likely save us, was turned on its head by the likes of Aldous Huxley and C S Lewis (in … Continue reading A Short Piece on the Enabling Side-Effects of Technology

Making things for my Go Pod

February 27, 2021 · 2 Comments ·

Months before my Go Pod arrived (I refer to the Pod as mine, since the husband had to be inveigled by all and any means into purchasing the thing) I began knitting a blanket for it. You see, my first instinct, regarding anything that remotely … Continue reading Making things for my Go Pod

The Space Trilogy

February 13, 2021February 13, 2021 · Leave a comment ·

The Space Trilogy by C S Lewis Yes Blog. Your virtual eyes do not deceive you and, if you are anything like me (which you unavoidably are) you will be utterly confounded and gobsmacked (a word Lewis would never have used) to discover that Lewis, … Continue reading The Space Trilogy

The Go Pod

February 3, 2021May 18, 2023 · Leave a comment ·

A couple of months after the onset of Covid, I became obsessed with ways of travelling about which would be self-contained and therefore safe from The Virus.  Turns out many, many other people had had the same idea.  I likewise developed an obsession with YouTube … Continue reading The Go Pod

The Sound of Silence

January 29, 2021 · Leave a comment ·

Blog. I promise you are not becoming solely a repository for my warblings. But as my Audacity stuff is now a weekly thing, I like to log it here. My singing teacher suggested I try recording a Simon and Garfunkel song for yesterday’s lesson.  I’d … Continue reading The Sound of Silence

Hallelujah

January 22, 2021 · 5 Comments ·

Blog, three days ago I turned 60, as the Americans would say. I uploaded a post here 6 years ago (at the tender age of 54) in which I noted, and lamented, the lightning speed at which Father Time travels. This is strange because you … Continue reading Hallelujah

Another Christmas Carol

December 19, 2020 · 2 Comments ·

Blog.  As you’ve been sadly lacking in festive posts this year, here’s another carol, recorded for my singing teacher yet again.  My lovely, gracious, and kind singing teacher (who has a Jane Austen fetish, but don’t all of us who hanker after a long-ago romantic … Continue reading Another Christmas Carol
