"As much as he was interested in people, Morris was equally obsessed, in both his prose and photography, with what he saw as the populated emptiness of abandoned spaces."

Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #308 - 2025 is coming. The world seems to be in such a catastrophic state. Where is the hope? What is hope? Dear Bailey and Anon, It is understandable to feel alarmed by the current state of things, to feel fearful and depressed. We are presented...

“We do not look away from the world, we look directly at it and allow the spirit of hope - the necessary driver of change - to inspire us to action.” Nick Cave🤍

Before I sleep, a window opens
On another world,
And my eyes are a young woman’s
And my hand is lifting to wave

Blue grey river reflecting a dark grey sky. Raised islands of mud and rushes. Mist on distant dark mountains.

Back home, salt marsh stillness at high tide and light under the mist on the mountains, waiting for the year to turn

You're welcome Hedy. I don't usually get the chance but your post on winter inspired me. 🤗

Thank you! Good to see you here as well. A friendly face.

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

-Oliver Herford, 1955

My mother's people came from northern Scotland and spent 30 'brandyless' years in St Anns, Nova Scotia before moving on. They finally found a winterless paradise in the Southern ocean for all their troubles & the rest, as they say, is history.

“To survive the Canadian winter, one needs a body of brass, eyes of glass, and blood made of brandy.”

French explorer Louis-Armand de Lom d’Arce de Lahontan said this apparently in 1702.

Ha! I have no idea where that comes from. Only joke is in reference to spilling gallons of Shiraz on my white T-shirts.

top 4 films that you watched in 2024

1- La bête (2023)
2- The Substance (2024)
3- Les raisins de la mort (1978)
4- Revenge (2017)

What the hell, nary a one! Although La Bête looks familiar? Is it possibly a remake? Thanks for the tips in any case, James. Early 2025 film targets.

"According to Vogue, 'red wine-coloured garments take the edge off'. I mean we’re all broke, war and genocide seem to be breaking out everywhere, but pop on a Malbec coloured turtleneck and you can forget it all for a minute?"

Desperately looking for a wine coloured garment in my wardrobe... to no avail. I might have to go old-school instead!
