PS  That is lovely too.

There never was a best laid plan for me, Lily.  Of Mice and Men.  You pays your money and you takes your choice.  That is the way.  And all things come to good if you have any faith in yourself.  Because that at least you have to do.

Regrets?  I have a few.  But bugger those.  I did what I  thought I had to do, and I really can't be giving myself a hard time about it.

There are some things that should be plain and simply put down when they're captured, IMO, with less concern than would be shown a rabid dog.

What a shame for that cadet.  Poor guy and I hope the person(s) responsible burn in hell.

That's a fascinating piece about the background to the display. I suspect that one of the reasons it is so successful is that it's being run by the Tower staff and volunteers.

Government lackeys weren't interested - until it became such a huge success, of course. And it's interesting to note that the general public instantly grasped what it was about, unlike lefty Guardian art critics.

Awesome.

What an amazing and beautiful display.  Also so sad and humbling.  

That puerile leftist art critic looks stupid now.

Bless him.
