  1. “Colour is a language in the novel… The men can’t talk about the truth of their feelings, or about what’s really going on. But they have such specificity around colour, and that’s the one place they can meet”

    —Douglas Stuart on JOHN OF JOHN, & championing Hebridean weavers

Destructive droplets of nitric &/or sulphuric acid clouds - milder colours - photo seemed dull to the eyes - out the car window #photography #climate #science

  6. Going to London on Monday for a work meeting. Needed a new tweed jacket so have popped in to my favourite town (Shrewsbury) to get one. Now sitting with a railway book and a pint in the Three Fishes #shrewsbury #tweed #pubs

  8. I’m going to be in my old stomping ground of #Antrim #NorthernIreland from Thursday to Saturday. Anyone around? Anything I should check out while there? Where could I buy a Donegal #tweed jacket?

  12. It has been a while since I posted anything but here is an etching of the view from the window of the Edinburgh to London train as it crosses the Royal Border Bridge over the River #Tweed above #Berwick. #Lindisfarne and #Bamburgh castles are on the distant horizon.
    This is from a brass plate etched by spit-bite. Plate size 300x210mm.

  15. I need to get a new #tweed jacket (one with thinner than the heaviest gauge Harris Tweed). I'd like pure tweed (no synthetics) and also prefer a natural fabric liner (viscose or cotton or silk), though I may have to be flexible on that.

    Any suggestions for decent quality and price?

  19. I cleaned out my #wardrobe over the weekend. Now, I ask myself: Will my 'need for tweed' ever be satisfied? So far, I own four sports jackets, two waistcoats, and two overcoats. Not to mention my three flat caps. They are all #Harris, #Moon, or #Donegal #tweed, all vintage, and made in England. I thrifted them at various places.

    This is still healthy, and completely normal, yes? I mean, I'm still missing a proper three-piece suit. And then there's #Islay tweed …

  21. Yesterday chalked up some milestones: first orange tips and sandpipers are back on the #Tweed.
    'mon the gowks'

  24. Success, I Think

    Go back in time two posts and look at the picture I shared of my Fender Bassbreaker 18/30 amplifier with something that appears to be mold covering the imitation tweed. I don’t know where that came from. I don’t know why it’s on that amplifier but not on either of the other two Bassbreaker products I own (the Bassbreaker15 watt amp and the 1×12 extension speaker cabinet).

    It’s gross.

    I found a post on reddit that suggested using white vinegar to clean off whatever that mold looking shit is. I guess mold growing on tweed amps is a thing? I’ll share a screen shot of the post here:

    I went grocery shopping today and picked up a bottle of white vinegar. I just finished sponging off the amp and it looks like it worked. I am mostly pleased with the results. The only negative I can see at this point (assuming whatever that shit was doesn’t just grow back immediately) is that now my amp smells like vinegar… and so does my cellar… and so do I. Oh well.

    It looks good so far though.

    May have mentioned that I'm better than WC Fields because he's dead.

  32. Born this day in 1909 Leo Fender. Founder of Fender Musical Instruments. In 1950 the company released the Esquire, a thin body, fast neck electric that wouldn't feedback when played at volume of dance halls. Adding a second pick-up in '51 we had the Broadcaster which became the Telecaster. Still one of the most popular electric guitars for any genre.

  33. Yesterday, I got 80km done with my mate around the back of airport. We encountered this gent on our way home who was delighted to tell us that it was his birthday and he'd lost his wallet in his house! He looked very dapper, nonetheless.
