About Bloody Marvellous: the show brings together Luke’s academic and comedic personalities to offer something distinctive: a comic tour of the medieval world. Rather than the tired medieval themes of kings and battles, it is about medieval ideas, stories and inventions. Featuring props, songs and games, Bloody Marvellous introduces audiences to creatures like sea-centipedes and manticores, dogs with names like Havegoodday, and characters like Eilmer the flying monk. Luke shows off the old world’s taste in tourist tat, and tries to convince audiences that medieval medicine – with treatments involving things like dragons’ blood – was more exciting than the modern kind.
The show will be performed at the Newcastle, Durham, Buxton and Greater Manchester Fringes in July before it hits the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2025.

I had one branch propped but decided to do another after a smaller branch snapped, and after seeing the recent damage done to a friend's apricot tree. The main branch being propped up used to go up vertically as high as our roof.
This is either Green Gage or true Ganerik (the wild plum that Green Gage was derived from).

Some of you may recall the old Constellation jet that was parked outside the Constellation Hotel near Pearson International Airport for many years, then got moved up to Derry Road, and then was recently dismantled with an eye toward preserving it in a museum somewhere... In fact I found it across a field about 2 km from its previous location, in pieces behind a barbed wire fence in a storage facility. Poor Connie! See also here and here.
