Adele’s first album, 19: all about first love. Also, lots of it lurking in Studio Ghibli: Laputa, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Ponyo…

I feel as though your second question is a powerful one. How many words, paintings, and other treasures are hidden in such manner?

And what are the chances that a next of kin will recognize the value of sharing art?

You have given me some interesting thoughts to ponder,

This is so sad.
I wonder if you read this article which was in The Guardian a few weeks ago?

Goodness, sounds like you had quite a day. It’s very sad that a concern children would have about playing would be about getting dirty!!! What kind of sterilised idea of childhood have they had?

“School prepares for the alienating institutionalizing of life by teaching the need to be taught.”
“A good educational system should have three purposes: it should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and, finally, to furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known.”
- Ivan Illich. Deschooling Society. (1971)

To turn off the TV is absolutely right. Our culture is so steeped in telly that if you don’t have a set, the incredulity with which you open increasingly surly and threatening letters from the licencing agency is quite staggering. Apparently 40m people *didn’t* watch the XFactor. Hurrah for us!

‘Bored’ did used only to be a feature of young teenagehood, didn’t it? I simply cannot imagine being bored, ever.
