Really as great as everyone said. There’s a quote on cover that compares Garner to Virginia Woolf & I think there’s definitely something in that. There’s a real economy of writing too & an unsettling slipperiness about it. 📕 🇦🇺

An announcement: I was hoping to add Gentle the Horse to my gallery of extended Willoughverse Bluesky quadrupeds, but discovered yesterday that she has passed on. She had a long rich life though.

Bloke at Australian immigration yesterday asked if I had any previous convictions. I replied ‘Didn’t know you still needed them’

Time has been very kind to Madness's 'Take It or Leave It' film, just restored by the BFI. Part biopic, part North London hangout film, it's a charming look at life in early 80s, still fairly squalid, Camden, & the Nutty Boys exude a natural likeability. Full band concert performances thrilling.
