'Turner’s Bedroom, Hotel Europe, Venice, 1840' by @ShuttlePenelope badlilies.uk/penelope-shuttl…
ALT Turner's Bedroom, Hotel Europe, Venice, 1840 Turner, hero of one hundred fist fights with light, he alters the sky by using his eye as a jeweller's hammer introduces us to part of a bridge hidden for centuries behind Venice's back pours out fineries of smoke-brightened vapour a stretch of lagoon is stippled-alive by washes of wheeling headstrong colour he makes every cloud and rainbow his servant the waterway gleams like lionskin or the nispero's cousin, the apple's sister

Ivor Cutler was born in a Scotch sitting room 102 years ago today, a true national treasure.
Here’s his portrait by Michael Knowles in the National Gallery, always makes me smile.

Today's poem, 'If you didn't know what a storm is' by Matt Gilbert @RichlyEvocative, captures the atmosphere and ferocity of a storm.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA.
King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have.
RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

King Charles & Prince William’s estates avoid tax, charge the NHS £11.4M for ambulance storage & force tenants to live with damp, mould & fuel poverty.
The monarchy clearly lives in another world.
How much longer will we allow such privileges?
It’s time to rethink the system.
