Jeremy and I have been on a rampage for Russian folk tunes recently, him more so than me. Pretty melodies set in a foreign language are charming more often than not. Prekrasnoe Daleko (translated: Beautiful Future) is one of our favourites at the moment. It is the soundtrack to a five-part Russian telemovie, Gostya iz Budushchego (Guest from the Future) filmed in 1985. Isn’t this video spectacular? Isn’t the girl at 2:00 perfect? There is a fond place in my heart for mushroom bobs.`

Silas being his usual contortionist perfection on a lazy afternoon. His Chinese name is 林喜乐 – a phonetic translation of Silas in Mandarin, also directly translating into “happy joy”, which is exactly what he is. Silas 林喜乐, you are absolutely perfect to me!

This is really uncharacteristic but I spent the past weekend, happily, on a kungfu movie marathon.
