It's possible that everyone else in the world has already heard this, but if not here's my Thursday gift to you...

Just in case we start to feel too superior about what's going on in the US.

I wrote about trying to do things ethically in an industry not renowned for its ethics (or, not making much money in an industry renowned for its profit margins).

Wow. We've gone from virtually summer temps to snow over the course of about 3 days.

Possibly the best thing about being British is that my WhatsApp groups have been on fire with pictures of people's sheds with three flakes of snow on them. The local paper has a livecam of 'flurries of snow'. Joyous.

Ezra Collective. Too busy dancing to take decent photos. Some much needed joy (and saxophone inspiration!)

Someone just announced this in our editorial meeting = only work chat this afternoon being '9/20!'

Makes me think of this poem, from Ella Risbridger's 'Set Me on Fire'. Built to say at least....

4321 by Paul Auster. It's brilliant, but I do feel there's another version of my life where I picked a much shorter Auster novel and finished it months ago!

Yes - couldn't kid myself that it was OK to stay on there any longer.

Small lovely things:
The cat is asleep on my lap.
My elder daughter is a ninja at a pub quiz.
I have spent 15 mins on bluesky: looked at some beautiful tomatoes, made a note of a book I'd like to read, giggled twice, seen no weird conspiracies, no one has made me feel bad about my protein intake.
