'Covid-19 Art by Anasyasya Eliseeva via New Frame' It’s not the sky that’s on fire It’s humanity’s destiny So stay locked in your prison cell And let what will be - what will be Don't hide behind a miracle Hide behind an old locked door Say no to celebrations Besides, you’ve seen them all before [...]

OBSERVATIONS
'I'm good with corona', says Mr Wolf' Day nine, banged up. Happy most times. Daylight through a window. Vitamin D days. Running out of mushrooms. I live on mushrooms. I heard that the seagulls have gone fishing out at sea. They don't hang around McDonald's any more. No Grand Big Mac eaters to swoop down [...]
CORONAVIRUS CUP – ITALY 1O v ENGLAND NIL
Pic via Informassive ‘If music be the food of love, play on’ ~ William Shakespeare Different nations react differently in the face of the global virus crisis.

THE MUSICIAN’S CURSE
'Following on from the graffiti blog post of last week here's another similar - except it's artistically rubbish - pic. This one got a few laughs doing the family and friends rounds a while back. If you check out the 'Cyclists Dismount' sign you'll see why. It doesn't say a lot for Kyran's mum, whoever [...]
THE WORLD ENDED AT MIDNIGHT

‘Calorific Tardis’ BAD ADVICE 'to be adapted into a lyric' You’ve got the motor; you’ve got the SatNav and a tank full But you’re still stuck on the inside looking out Blind faith, too blind and blinkered to realize The kick you get living with all that doubt There’s a doorway to Hell or is [...]
DOORWAY TO THE ROOM OF CLOUDS
'Doorway to The Room of Clouds' 'One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me I discovered that my castle stands Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand' Coldplay I thought I'd try something random again, just writing the first thing/things that came into my head. I've not done it [...]
OVER THE TOP
^My pal Adam celebrating his victory^ I put a pic of me just about to lose a game of pool on the blog a couple of posts back (see below for a repeat performance). What I’d forgotten at the time was that I had with me at the point of my defeat, my Go-Pro. That’s [...]
