I'm not going to be able to look at gannets without thinking of stormtroopers now! Thank you for persisting with your newsletter through the migrainous fog - it's much appreciated.

Frankly I’m surprised you ever looked at them without humming the imperial death march! Thank you for your comment x

Your work is beautiful. There is a lame, cartoonish picture of a dragon or is it a dinosaur on the ceiling of my dentist’s office that I swear has been there since I was a kid (I’m now 68). New dentist, same old office/print. If it were gone I think the world would fall apart.

I would prefer a dinosaur to tooth woman, it’s probably been there since the Triassic. There’s a shoe shop in Southampton that was there since we were small- the good type where you get to ride the rocking horse if you don’t kick the attendant in the face. They have that dog with a bone money box that you roll some coin down to donate but for some god forsaken reason, someone repainted it and decided the best colour for the bone was pink. And it looks exactly like what you’re thinking a pink bone looks like, but noone in 20 years has though to repaint it so it looks like that dog isn’t exceptionally well hung like, as you say, sometimes we go on safe in the knowledge though the world is turbulent, some things are unchanging. there are dinosaurs at the dentists and pink bone dogs at the shoe shop. And this is how it should be.
