Ubuntu (philosophy)

"A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed"

Welsh Tales of Terror


"Some Halloween reading picked up, this morning, from the normally barren pastures of the PDSA charity shop on Albany Road. Amidst a well-thumbed phalanx of discarded Barbara Taylor Bradfords and Dan Browns nestled this splendid copy of Welsh Tales of Terror (1973). This particular edition - with the fantastical cover - is the 1975 Fontana reprint. And what a stunning cover it is too. I imagine the subterranean landscape of your average Valleys town to look exactly like this."

Hockneyizer: Create a unique photo collage ala David Hockney.


"Create a unique collage from a single photograph. Choose one of two styles: a joiner style image without frames or an image created from simulated Polaroids. Every generated image is unique. This toy was inspired by the photo collages of the artist David Hockney."
