Published October 16, 2025 by Warren Ellis

I have bought myself blue jeans for the first time in thirty years. I have already had my mid-life crisis so I presume this is encroaching dementia.

TODAY:

OPERATIONS: Moving on to new things today and pretending I don’t have two unfinished scripts on deck. And figuring out Adobe Sign again.
STATUS: 8hrs 31m sleep, and it’s time to admit to myself that I have no scripting energy left. Inbox 87. Just had to ask the Echo what day it is.

Gorgeous day. This is probably all I’ll see of it.

OPERATIONS: need to nail down eight pages and file them and then deal with half a dozen other things I haven’t gotten around to. Looking at a shared drive and hoping it will be fully populated by the end of the day.
STATUS: inbox 78, all is quiet

Add harvesting the rhubarb to the endless to-do list. I started trying to reclaim the garden, what, three or four years ago now? I now have a sense of what I can and can’t grow, and am starting to think about winter planning, and finding some flowers that will actually grow and draw in pollinators.

Windy day. The mancub hates the wind – he doesn’t like his precious furs ruffled, apparently – and keeps nipping in and out to see if the wind’s gone away.

Late Junction: Railway Junction

It’s “All aboard!” as Verity Sharp presents an eclectic selection of sonic odes to rail travel, 200 years on from the first ever passenger railway journey in the UK. Expect an archival adieu to the steam locomotives from Carnforth, Lancashire, echoes of a station piano recorded during a transit interlude, and a ticket inspector’s nod to the quiet solitude of the trans-European night train cabin in the form of contemporary field recordings.

A London Dreaming: Iain Sinclair’s Lud Heat At 50

Late Junction: radiophonic lullabies and distorted dreams

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents your weekly dose of adventurous explorations in sound. There’ll be distorted cello sounds from Seattle, composed by Nirvana’s cello player Lori Goldston, who hopes to give her listeners room to breathe and dream. Leo Chadburn also brings a dream-like labyrinthine recollection of misty quarries, disused railway lines, and shadowy monumental factory buildings, via closed-mic spoken word, vibraphone, wine glasses and drones. Plus a sonic dedication to “Radium Girls”, female factory workers exposed to radioactive luminous paint, courtesy of Phew, Dieter Moebius and Erika Kobayashi, composed in the shadow of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011.

What Roland Allen, author of the excellent THE NOTEBOOK, uses.

TODAY:

The mancub slept in his usual spot last night, has apparently eaten today, but is now back in his hideyhole under the bedroom sofa, because he knows in his evil little soul that today is the day I have to try and give him antibiotics. He informed me yesterday that I am permitted to feed him but we are no longer friends and I should no longer look directly at his royal personage.

OPERATIONS: Given I have to give pills to a small Tasmanian Devil twice today, I don’t fancy my chances for producing much material or keeping all my fingers.
STATUS: 7hrs 12m sleep, which is not an improvement. Short term memory still not working. I’ve put the Maven watch on today, as I don’t need to be across comms quite so much now everyone’s home for a bit.
