Books, politics, publishing, poems. And if I'm honest, quite a lot of Christmas music.

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!)

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

Still going strong in mid-November, which looks great when the rest of the garden is brown, but is also terrifyingly wrong. #COP29

I find it mind-blowing that it is literally possible to be thinking about nothing. Or to not be thinking at all. On the other hand my partner can't imagine that I am talking to myself, all the time, in my head.

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.
