Who are you wearing I say to the huge moth with the gold body in my bathroom as I'm trying to catch her in a cup

Tonight's excitement, wrangling a lost dog. He did not want to be caught, he was wild, he was free, he was not impressed with biscuits! Once caught, off to our local vet and we called the owner, he will be returned to his home, but I got the impression he's a known escape artist

Things you could do this week to honor the impact Dolly has had: *Donate to the Imagination Library or a local kids reading initiative *Read with a kid you care about *Support and protect LGBTQIA kids *Support a Black owned business *Schedule your vaccine appointments *Show up authentically as you

As is often the way with my father, in a conversation about something else entirely he said unprompted 'it's three days till sunset on Svalbard'

Saw Bouchra for the third time last night at the Prince Charles cinema, this time struck by how beautiful the lighting choices were. A gorgeous film, I'm glad it has a UK wide release so more people have experienced it, just wish I could have a DVD so I could watch it whenever I wanted.

And 32% of people receiving Universal Credit were in work as of December 2025. Companies profiting from poverty pay need to be challenged to justify that.
