Around the Toon
Things have been so busy: they will not get less so. Making the most of sabbatical; making plans for the post-academic possibilities. Endings are beginnings: beginnings are also endings. We closed on the house: Bertie has made the last long journey for all the necessaries. Change is the only constant. Dundee is a lovely town…
FREE Hard-Boiled Witch #1
From the 27th to the 31st of this month get Book One of the HARD-BOILED WITCH series for free to celebrate Dundee Day–the home of the titular witch and her oversized cat familiar. Hecate Sidlaw eats punks like you for breakfast — at least that’s what her familiar Henry claims. When someone needs a protection…
Nacreous Clouds

Around the V&A
A nice wander yesterday as I had to return my library books anyway. Some dramatic skies, a mooch through the V&A — which reminds me, I don’t think I ever posted the pictures from the Michael Clark exhibit — to say nothing of Venice! I wouldn’t say life is settling down but I may finally…
Old Friends
Also at the McManus but a bit different from the art upstairs; though some new ones here, too:

I always manage to drop by the McManus to see old favourites and to check out what’s new. Maong their new offers is Hidden Histories which highlights women, artists of colour and LGBTQI+ artists, too. It’s a good start in a new direction.
