“Boku-chan had the simple fixed idea that, since she liked women, she wanted to act manly. Which to her meant frowning as you held your cigarette between thumb and forefinger, putting your arm around a girl’s shoulder and lifting her chin with your finger, speaking in a deep, threatening voice, adopting all the poses and actions of hunky actors in movies.”
Between pages 42 and 43 of Natsuo Kirino's novel, there's a ticket to see The Mighty Boosh at Sheffield City Hall on Wednesday Oct 8, 2008.

Roy Hattersley 28th Dec. 1932 - 13th June 2026:
“Both my grandfathers were Sheffield exiles, unhappy expatriates who talked persuasively about the virtues of their native city, underestimating neither its beauty nor its bounties...So we rented 174 Wadsley Lane, a large, dilapidated, late Victorian villa in a continuous – though irregular – terrace that ran up one of the steeply sloping roads which give Sheffield suburbs their distinctive character.”
Inserted into this copy is the owner’s critique of one of Hattersley’s later books, The Maker’s Mark, (1990).

Boswell’s London Journal,15th June 1763:
“I breakfasted with Lord Eglington. We then walked in the Green Park. He said I was the only man he ever knew who had a vast deal of vanity and yet was not in the least degree offensive…We sung catches and were very jolly, as the saying is."

“There was a point in the paintings when it looked as if I was becoming obsessed with verisimilitude, which is not interesting painting. It can be technically interesting, but great painting is not like that…A good painting has real ambiguities which you never get to grips with, and that’s what’s so tantalizing.”
David Hockney speaking to Paul Joyce in 1982

Reaping the rewards of the wildflower seeds sown by volunteers with Bingham Park Community Group and Friends of the Porter Valley last October. They've created a fantastic habitat - what a transformation to this strip of grass running alongside the railings.
Francis Rose (1921 – 2006), English field botanist and conservationist, would have appreciated this beautiful sight.

Edward Lear was born on this day, 12th May, in 1812. The youngest surviving child of the Lear family of twenty-one children, he was raised by an older sister. As well being an illustrator, Lear was also an accomplished landscape painter and ornithological artist who had a species of macaw named after him.

In his introduction to this 1996 Folio edition of 'Complete Nonsense', Quentin Blake describes Lear's illustrations as
"…the drawings of someone who knows about drawing... at home with the pen." Blake writes that Lear's drawings are "tiny, vital, expressive works" with lines created by "a sort of slow-motion pen slash".

"The past is not a prologue to the present; it is the present – morphed a bit, stretched, distorted, and with very different emphasis. It’s a structurally similar, though very much contorted, version of the present. Therefore, in a sense, time – history – can, at least in our heads, flow in either direction, because deeply, structurally nothing has really changed. We think we’re going in a line through time, making progress, advancing, but we might be going in circles.”
