A point to ponder

"What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings. Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light?"

Oleg Basilashvili as Woland

I'm still not feeling well so I've finally gotten around to watching the (subtitled) Russian TV adaptation of The Master and Margarita, one of my favourite novels.

Now if only RTE would have a go at the Third Policeman...
