Just wanted to sport some Nordic-themed Christmas knitwear which I pledge to Frigg the Norse Goddess of weaving (and a lot more). Hope that's OK 🙏

Does anyone else think the Poinsettia is an absolute #LAD of a plant? They come out at Christmas all red and ready for action. Many people get rid of them afterwards but it's pretty easy to look after them during the year if you don't overwater and give them some munch once a month (high potassium and low nitrogen). Then they bloom again in December and January 🏵️

December might be cold, but you can always count on fuzzy warmth at Christmas.
Particularly if you ask for a fluffy animal hot water bottle as an early present. 🙋🏻‍♂️

William Blake's Ancient of Days illuminating St Paul's cathedral - it's worth getting chucked out of the Tate Modern's top floor for ("Private event"?1?) Blake suffered a lot from depression, fell out with loads of people and probably never had the recognition he deserved. He was buried in an unmarked grave. This was his final work, it's on for four nights from 16:30 onwards.

"The sun never sets on the British Empire" - John Wilson as Christopher North in Noctes Ambrosianae.
Whatever one might thing about this quote, the fact remains that not just in Britain but also all over the world, pragmatic patriotism is losing out to fantasy nationalism.

The blooming tea in the En Tea House. Everyone was watching the petals being shed around around their cups as well as the flora being generated every time a drop was spilt or tea was drunk. It was a surreal experience indeed but one which was short. Today is Charles Bonnet Awareness Day, and people who suffer this have surreal events happening unexpectedly and frequently.

I had a patient this week who was experiencing Charles Bonnet (Visual hallucinations relating to sight loss) and the information leaflets provided by RNIB, Esme's Umbrella and The Macular Society were very useful. It also helps to have a good ECLO (eye clinic liaison officer) in the clinic to help support and explain things to patients.

Here is a blog piece I wrote last year about an art exhibition inspired by the hallucinations of Charles Bonnet Syndrome

Sometimes life is like a Shoyu dispensing pigeon.
.
Because no matter how deliciously umami the Shoyu is, it's still being expelled out from a ceramic pigeon head.
.
This is the sort of topic I discussed with Yukio-san and Noriko-san. And it puts life, humanity and soy sauce in perspective.

Some of the delicious and memorable meals I had in Japan:
Top left: A hearty and homely lunch at a small family run restaurant in Himeji
Top right: Sashimi on ice at a posh izakaya in Osaka
Middle left: Delicious lunch tray at Yoshinihonkozu Tengyokudo
Middle right: a mochi which uses Kuzu - a natural starch made from arrowroot. Covered in brown sugar sauce and a peanutty powder.
Bottom left: Takoyaki: the famous ball-shaped street food made with floor batter and octopus, ginger and green onion
Bottom right: Just a simple big bowl of Ramen. .

This is the giant Tsuzumi-mon ("Sacred Gate") wooden gate which is the entrance to Kanazawa Station and is shaped as a traditional Torii gate.
It has huge drum-like legs, and had become a symbol of this Temple city which has the equivalent national population ranking of the UK's Swindon or the US's Tucson.

Thank you @wandering.leprechaun for recommending this stunning UNESCO-protected village: Shirakawa-Go.
I went in the late afternoon to avoid the crowds and it was a very serene place. The high arched "Gassho" style houses have been preserved since they were first built (towards the end of the Edo period) and are designed to be practical in the context of the agriculture and the extreme weather conditions. They are unique to Shirakawa-Go and two neighbouring villages.
