Succisa pratensis, also known as devil’s-bit or devil’s-bit scabious, is a flowering plant in the honeysuckle family.
Literally hundreds of these flowers in our garden at the moment. Never noticed them before.
Favourite Museums
After a recent trip to Brussels I’ve been thinking of museums I’ve visited. My top five at the moment, in no particular order, are:
- Ca’ Rezzonico, the Museum of 18th century Venice
- Keats-Shelley House, Rome
- Casa Fernando Pessoa, Lisbon
- Acropolis Museum, Athens
- Magritte Museum, Brussels
Alone - The Cure
Alone
On Thursday 26th September 2024 The Cure released the single Alone 🎵
Birds fall from the sky, broken voices call us home and youthful dreams are dashed against the transience of life in the band’s first new song in 16 years
(from 🔗 The Guardian)
The lyrics of the song “seem to be based on Dregs, an 1899 work by the Decadent poet Ernest Dowson”.

The Cure - Alone (Lyrics)
This is the end
Of every song that we sing
