What a gorgeous version of an already gorgeous LCD Soundsystem song by Ezra Furman www.youtube.com/watch?v=cySk...
Tulips flowering on our balcony as well.
I saw a white butterfly flying around the rose plants in Leathermarket Gardens off Bermondsey Street yesterday morning… similarly delighted but that’s really early right?
🤣 I’m surprised you didn’t wake to find the front door open and her gone!
Dreamt about Donald Trump last night. He was washing up and I was drying, and he was trying to tell me something important but was clearly having a stroke so I couldn't make it out. It woke me up at 3am and I barely slept for the rest of the night. So there's another reason to hate him.
I booked tickets to take my daughter to the Vue cinema in Leicester Square and when we arrived I’d booked tickets for the Vue in Leicester. But so had the people in front of us in the queue so that felt better.
Dunno if this will make sense to anyone or not... what can my failure to calm my friend's daughter's night terrors, and what the solution proved to be, teach us about meeting the anxieties and conflicts of our wider world?

Is the first name 'Donald' by any chance?
Love love loved this talk by @teuntoebes.bsky.social at @nuffieldtrust.org.uk last week. "We can create change through fear, or through hope" www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TC5...
Dirty Business was an exceptional piece of TV, but expect won’t have had much attention given the news this week. The whole politics of ‘red tape’ and low regulation is laid bare.

Ha, yes I had one from the Everyman cinema of all places recently. I mean, who takes their mum to the cinema for Mother’s Day anyway?!
Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.
Scorchio 🥵
All politics is acting to a degree I guess, but she just seems completely inauthentic. She even seems to talk about herself in the third person as tho referring to a character. Weird
Listening to Kemi Badenoch on Today. If Keir Starmer has one thing on his side…
That bit at the start of ‘Threads’ where people are just carrying on with their lives and the radio is on in the background, reporting on a growing conflict following a US-backed coup in Iran.
Just remembered how at The Roundhouse in Camden on Friday evening all the male bar staff said ‘what would you like, love’ or ‘thanks, love’ as tho working in a bakers in a Northern town and it was both very strange but also endearing. Is this a thing?
How do narratives impact care?
On Friday, join @teuntoebes.bsky.social as he draws on his own experience of living in a care home to challenge how we think about care.
We'll discuss how a shift in narrative can re‑centre dignity, safety & human connection 🤝

I find it incredible to recall that some of my friends still had outside loos (still in use) in their back yards in late 1970s Morris Green, Bolton.
Good afternoon 🌸
And this is the amazing Gans - best bit starts 4.50 in www.youtube.com/watch?v=W31m...
Still coming down from last night's Big Special gig at the Roundhouse. Such an amazing atmosphere in there, which support act Gans managed to whip up. Felt like one of those gigs where you'll never get to see them in such an intimate venue again

Off to see Big Special at The Roundhouse. Second best band in Britain to Sleaford Mods youtu.be/wKnlDWD5xXg?...
Brief respite
I think the collapse of print newspapers and the end of linear TV habits has created a context collapse for news. Where once day to day reporting and investigation and lifestyle sat side by side in one package, now they live as seperate things in people's minds, with reality warping effects
Oh, and Lidl
This is a beautiful love song. That it is a beautiful love song with repeated reference to custard makes it even more special IMHO youtu.be/3g0CRY6dLrs?...
