Here are my daughter and her friend warming up after we ate at the weirdly dark and cold branch of Giraffe on the South Bank. Not going there again. But The Importance of Being Earnest at the National Theatre was delightful.

This looks so great! Is there an audiobook?

I appreciate The Guardian reading its articles out but the pronunciation is still skewy. It never learned 'Coronaveeirus' and now it's offering 'Timothay Chalamette'.

True Crime podcasts are just a terrible idea and I will never listen to one. If a podcast I like recommends one to me, I think much less of it.

At Chatsworth I saw an artwork that seemed to me to be explaining why, genetically, the family deserved wealth and privilege.

If someone offered me Blenheim Palace it would be a definite no. I think it's super ugly and the only good thing it's done is have the Ai Weiwei exhibition a few years ago.

Also, since I sent in work to a deadline yesterday and got the editor's out of office message, I am going to spend more time in 2025 in two separate states: rest and leisure.

Also (note to self), spend time not listening to anything so you can hear your own thoughts. Default mode network.

An absolute joy to see @philipjpratt.bsky.social today and hand him a copy of my new book #QuantumPhysics in which he has had such an important checking and encouraging role πŸ˜€

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars β€” β€œup at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
