25.02.26: I’m gonna make like Max Ernst and return to this tree near the Crosspool end of Lydgate Lane #Sheffield to create some Surrealist masterpieces using coloured chalk and flipchart paper.

Moorhen Island. If you look closely at the right of the island, you’ll see that it has been colonised by geese. I think the creature swimming towards the island is a moorhen, but the matter is inconclusive, and it might be a duck.

At first, it was a hospital, and then it became a group of buildings associated with the University of Sheffield School of Law.

“EV16 made in Italy refers to a vintage European terracotta planter pot, which is a stylish addition to home decor. These pots feature a beautiful Italian pottery aesthetic with a natural terra cotta finish and polka dot pattern."

And here's the video of 'Once in a Lifetime'

As far as I know, no one has commented on the similarity of Mark Mothersbaugh's visual presentation of 'Jocko Homo' and David Byrne's visual presentation of 'Once in a Lifetime', which I find very surprising.
Here's the video of 'Jocko Homo'

An electric pink line on a black or very dark blue field.
It looks black when surrounded by dark blue and very dark blue when surrounded by black.
The electric pink - black colour scheme appeared to me in a dream.
From 2020. You don't hear much about SMART these days do you? I suppose 'management consultants' have to ensure that their approaches respond to the random shifts that characterise the broader society and culture in which they operate, with the aim of ensuring maximum unquestioned crassness (EMUC).

One of the comments on this performance reads "The Jimi Hendrix of the accordion."
I'd say it's a lot more stately & controlled than that suggests.
There used to be a fabulous accordionist busker knocking about in #Sheffield 6 or 7 years ago. I don't know what became of him.

What can we see through the square window?
Still from 'Vampyr – Der Traum des Allan Gray', Carl Th. Dreyer, 1932.
A still from Peter Greenaway's 1980 film 'The Falls', which although it contains a wealth of captivating visual imagery is a tedious bourgeois-artist folly of the common type and therefore not worth watching.

"Knees Up Mother Brown" transplanted to NYC 1968, featuring arguably the finest rhythm guitar ever included on a record related to the rock genre.
A theatrical act, with strong elements of confrontational stand up comedy.

What's it called when you keep returning to the same idea or thing over and over again?

Did anyone else see that strange thing in the sky this morning - a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea?
We're not that familiar with mornings. Does this kind of thing go on all the time, then?

Well, the weather was a bit gloomy off and on, but I was having fun listening to 'Gloomy Sunday'.

'Metaphysical anarchy', eh?
What's not to like?
Sounds like my idea of fun.
Count me in.

Lydgate Infant School #Sheffield 26.01.26
Built in 1907 as Lydgate Lane Council School, when it appeared to feature two entrances for boys, one for infants, and one for girls.
