Un buongiorno a tutt* coloro che sanno che gli uomini sono dei mostri e che non c'é altro da fare che cibarli bene.

Un buon cuoco fa miracoli.

Ho finito le 5 settimane del corso sulla bike economy e tra poche ore torno sull'isola.

Da domani inizio la pianificazione del prossimo viaggio, mancano 70 giorni alla partenza !

"Wilde catapulted to fame by making a mockery of shallow British high society. But he would soon discover that even the most cultured audiences in Great Britain were more willing to witness themselves made into a silly farce on stage than to consider daring new takes on time-honored religious stories. The writer would have a much harder time getting his production of Salome onto the British stage than anticipated.

'Censors were, unsurprisingly, alarmed by the not merely sexual but sexually transgressive—incest and necrophilia—aspects of the play,' wrote art historian Simon Wilson in a 2017 journal article. '[They] might also have been alarmed by the presentation of Salome as a powerful woman who bargains on equal terms, not merely with a man, but with a king.'"

The latest chapter in my novel Songbird features Great Marlborough Street and the Marlborough Street Magistrates Court (pictured, Wikipedia), which has played host to a number of famous people over the years including Oscar Wilde, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Rotten and Christine Keeler. Charles Dickens also worked there, as a reporter.

I haven't got off to a flying start with this. Is it worth sticking with? I think it's the first #oscarwilde I've read and I find it annoyingly mannered, but then what did I expect? It doesn't help that I'm itching to get back to The Day of the Triffids but Dorian Gray is a library book that finally came through so it pulls rank. #books #bookstodon

#PhotoJanuary2025 jour 28 : Repas

Je déteste prendre en photo ma nourriture ... Alors pour répondre au challenge du jour, je vous propose le mug que j'utilise tous les jours, illustrés par l'une de mes propres créations. Laissez-moi vous dire qu'il n'y a pas "que" du thé vert dedans. Faut bien faire honneur à cette belle citation d'Oscar Wilde : "le meilleur moyen de résister à la tentation, c'est d'y céder".
