Trespasses review – an intoxicating, rousing and heartbreaking love story

Next door neighbour’s cat. I’ve officially been designated his Aunty!

I’m so sorry Jane for the loss of the wonderful Iggy. He was a truly special cat x

Godspeed to Danny Thompson. He added so much grace, beauty and guile to so many outstanding pieces of music (you could live a pretty nourishing musical life listening solely to the records he contributed to.) And an unfailingly entertaining and soulful conversationalist. One of the greats 💛

I watched Out Of Africa during a formative year in high school and his character challenged my notions of manhood. Like, you can be a badass lone wolf outdoorsman *and* help a woman with her hair while reciting Coleridge? Blew my adolescent mind. RIP Robert Redford.

Norfolk- you were lovely. Thank you 🙏

Hi Nick- tried to reply to you about PhD but wouldn’t send. Sorry been away in Norfolk on holiday! Well done for your submission 👏

Thank you 💕

Friday!

Hope you had a great time. One day I’ll hopefully get to see this beautiful woman.

Terence Stamp, looking exceedingly early 70s and fabulous for it, from March/April’s Italian Vogue.

But the eggs at the end! Very cute…

Happy 70th Green Gartside.

Jean Shrimpton for Mary Quant. Impossibly beautiful.
PS. Would wear both dresses without hesitation.

Yes indeed!

No storms here as yet. I’d be frightened of bats sleeping outside.
Downstairs was much cooler, managed to get 3 hrs sleep last night.

Who else has decided it’s cooler to sleep downstairs? My bedroom is as hot as Hades.

Top tier ice cream. Hard to limit to one a day.

A toy bagatelle table I decorated with a painting of Paul McCartney.

Happy Birthday Paul!

MPs,

You can support getting people back to work WITHOUT supporting these cuts.

If half a million people want to return to work (as Labour claims), invest in helping them do it.

Don’t link it to benefit cuts and sanctions.

Fear doesn’t motivate.

Poverty doesn’t incentivise.

PIP 4-point rule impact:

• 1.3m people at risk
• 440k (33%) expected to lose benefits
• 860k expected to keep them via worsened conditions/appeals
• Ratio: 1 loses for every 2 who keep benefits

Why terrorize 1.3m people then? #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePip
