Marvellous stuff. I for one care all about how you vanquished Waterstones, and frankly think you've been visited by a Genius.

I've sent you an email requesting a copy of Black Ribbon - this whole idea is definitely magickal. I hope it reaches you, the one ending substack.com was the only address I could find anywhere... But maybe I'm just a little slow trying to navigate the realms of the internet..?

Hi Jez – I'm delighted you liked my small Waterstones saga. A quest for the ages I feel. A Black ribbon will be with you soon!

The video was exquisite - although the final grace eluded me. I will immerse again and feel what happens.

Thank you Caroline. And thank you for giving it time! The story of game six from the 1972 chess championship is relevant in many ways. Spassky from the USSR is so amazed by Fischer's brilliance that he puts aside the cold war rivalry to stand and clap. A very unusual act in the context of the day. The human impulse to share kindness away from the politics.
