If the roughly 9.7 million military dead of World War I were to march through the centre of Paris four abreast, it would take them 20 days of continuous, non-stop marching to pass a single point. If you include the civilan deaths, it would take six weeks.

It's genuinely difficult to imagine how anyone could write this sketch. Utter genius...

There was a high tide but it was on the ebb as I headed home today- North Shields.

The Tyne was so calm and peaceful later this afternoon- glassy, absolutely silent apart from an occasional sea bird. There were a couple of seals swimming around and it was food for the soul.

Morning. Help wanted please. My friends @S_ShieldsMuseum are seeking the whereabouts of a sculpture of William Jobling, one of the last men to be hanged and gibbeted in England, that was made for the old Bede Gallery in Jarrow (director Vince Rea, seen here with it) in 1972 1/2
