I remember both Mowgli and Ezhik v Tumane from my childhood. The beginning of Mowgli with the peacock walking around and that melody was always so magical and to this day I'm in love with Bagheera. The space travel animation is new to me but, weirdly, the space it depicts is not! There's something very nostalgic in a way that space was portrayed then, so full of hope.

Thank you for the follow & your awesome website. My boyfriend used to live in the Netherlands and he still raves about how nice cycling is there. Whereas if you cycle in London, you just get killed : (

Thank you pikemalarkey! yeah, I love cycling. Such a shame indeed that it is so dangerous in many other places.

I tried your falafel tip the other day. Hard to say how well it worked, some of the pattys fell apart in the pan, but I was using a different brand of falafel mix than usual with a recommended resting time of 120 min (???) and started frying after abt. 45, so who knows. Either way, the corn+falafel flavor combination works great and is not one i would have come up with, so thanks!

Omg : D Yeah, I can see how having more chunky stuff would make the mix harder to hold together. Unfortunately, I can't recall what mix I used initially. Anyway, glad it was edible :)

Are you planning to go on to the Odyssey? Talk about no peanut - all the famous bits are four lines long and the rest of it is about various people being rubbed with oil!

I always preferred the Odyssey, because I'm that kinda guy. Robert Fagles's translation is pretty good if you want a printed edition.

Fagles is my favourite translation too. He may not have been able to spice up the Odyssey enough for me but I thought his Iliad translation was fantastic.

That's the plan! Switched to audiobooks for evenings now that it's too light to project movies on the wall. Currently having an interval with a sci-fi set during the Trojan war (??) but I'm looking forward to people being rubbed with oil afterwards!

Re: your Buffy comment which came as a total shocker. I hated the later seasons! I thought the writing butchered the characters to bring in some drama, was especially cross about what they did to Willow. But there you go : )

Yes, there’s no accounting for taste. I’m one of those weirdos who believe the movie is sometimes better than the book, and that the sequel is sometimes better than the original. My family has disowned me and my dog looks ashamed when I try to play with her!

My favourite Buffy is predictable. The musical and the episode that followed it, Tabula Rasa. I call season 5 and 6 of Buffy "High Renaissance Buffy".

i am leaving the same words here too bc why not - i ended up on "Last Words" on your site a while ago and completely forgot to comment on it - i love the flow of it and how all the little details just slot into so much vivid domestic tragedy. these lines like "pulling your abstinence by the whiskers with my glass of scotch" go down so cleanly <3
