Wow, had not seen his art before. Dizzying!

I’ll take any new Haines on offer.

I always hope the rain will clean them for me.

Is that a body cam worn instead of a pocket square?

It’s actually why the Greens will win. Have The Guardian forgotten the β€œisland of strangers” speech?

Have you read this? Nothing is going to get better until the keys are taken out of the neoliberals hands.

It’s an evergreen tweet. Sorry I did not know it’s was yours πŸ™, 100 agree though.

What a loss she was. All fantastic books

Great decision Tom.

Good point about empathy. On the times I turn away from horror it’s because I feel too much for the victims though.

That barn scene could have been much shorter and I’d have gotten the point though. 😬

Have you considered that books should be worth buying? If that’s the case they should be worth the attention of publishers who should pay for this. And decent cover art, marketing etc.

If you tried to iron that it would melt.

Best of luck. On the upside that shower gel smells amazing (well I thought so)!

If that sentence is not actually true, can we agree it is a lie?

Our β€˜leaders’ and β€˜tycoons’ have a new way of being lied to and flattered without having to speak to human beings.

The Door in the Floor takes a sensible approach and adapts just the first half of A Widow For One Year. Too many long novels are butchered to fit a screenplay.

What a joyous looking place. That’s our London visit list now. Thanks!
