Great, thanks! Short post scheduled for later this week. Let me know if you do any more Hoban-related music...
This is an enormous step forward for women of people.

Hi, this is great - not heard it before. I manage the Russell Hoban website & would like to post it on there if that's cool. The video says it's from "Wodwo" but this album doesn't seem to be listed at wtrem.bandcamp.com/music Is it still available? If you have any other info please let me know!
I've posted about it on the website at russellhoban.org/2026/03/16/n... Thanks again!

I live on a high street and see people driving while on their phones constantly. Unbelievable!
Always loved the Sergeant Pepper sleeve
So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS.
Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea
They might do nuts still, but their main food would now be protein bars and the like. You’d think there’d be more health foods in these parts, really…
Yeah there are like three branches within about two miles of me. They don’t do much edible food, but supplements are super popular. I get my vitamin D3 from them ☀️
Amazing, thanks! 👍👍
So weird and frustrating. There was a Whole Foods in Richmond here that was popular and busy and then it closed for no reason. Hate Bezo$ but you’d think surely there are markets everywhere for nice food. Seems a no-brainer.
Cool 👍That surprises me though, to think NZ might not be as plant-based-user-friendly as the UK.
Well at least there’s that to look forward to!
That’s outrageous!

Stylised painting of a woman in raincoat and jeans holding a small child seated atop a yellow-painted wooden hippo or similar beast on a street with a park and people behind.
Fairly loosely-painted portrait of a woman in an armchair wearing a burnt orange jumper, one hand resting on her leg, the other on the arm of the chair.
I’ve painted my mum twice so far, once from an old family photo on a day trip to Brighton and then more recently in her armchair. The Brighton one was shown on Grayson’s Art Club once for about four seconds. #mothersday
Sounds yum 👍
What beans do you use? Curious to know how to do this well without meat or processed meat substitutes.

Southwest 3 to 5. Increasing 5 to 7, perhaps gale 8 for a time later, veering west 4 to 6 later.
😄 To be fair, your socks post doesn’t provide an object for scale, so they could still be the wrapped present 🧦
I’ve chucked the fake Pringles and bought the real deal while in Tesco. The Tesco ones have Santa on the packaging, obviously left over from an over-enthusiastic buying spree before Christmas. They’re still well in date, but could be fresher, frankly. More crisp updates as they happen.
