Graves, confusion, city wandering like a startled cow, complaining about work. A Noticer of Small Things. Can't be arsed about Ambridge or The Archers anymore. MDANT

Another shitshow of a day so far at work (why yes, I should have been on leave yesterday and today afternoons). Problems which can't not be dealt with dumped on me because "well it IS leave season"

Ah my fluff brained colleague continues to spell my name wrong when demanding stuff. What a coincidence, I have chosen an alternative spelling in my response.

Personally I think there are "legitimate questions" about COVID. Like why Michael Gove and Matt Hancock got away with giving away contracts to their mates. And why the fuck Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman haven't been prosecuted.

No one but Jeffrey Lewis would tour the UK and take in such towns as Eaglescliffe, Stroud, Falmouth and Worcester Go see him and hope he plays Cannibal Monkeys, you’ll not regret it

Bloke at bus stop has total Ex Bad Un vibes to him, probably called Chiv em Chas but is also engaging in a detailed conversation about "why the bus is on diversion".

A delicate Lammas dress from 1902 by Gustav Beer, richly decorated with silken wheat stalks, for drinking chouchen and telling fortunes in an old country garden, as a great golden moon rises in the dark Breton sky.

It’s officially one month to publication day for Nobody’s Perfect: The Making of Some Like It Hot. If this sounds like something you would enjoy (or you know anyone who loves this movie) please do consider pre ordering from all the normal places!

Plans abandoned. Might see if I can wriggle in to the latest Spiderman film so that THE ENTIRE EVENING isn't wasted. I mean, I could have stayed working.

My great grandfather used to walk everywhere, apparently, but one time he got on a bus in the 30's after not having been on a bus for quite some time, handed over what had been the fee last time he'd ridden the bus, only for the conductor to tell him "Mafeking's been relieved, Sir."

I came away w huge respect for Betty Rea who yanked the silver spoon from her kids’ mouths and set up a home in the countryside with her (female) partner looking after orphans and teaching art. She studied alongside Henry Moore and I loved the simple joys in her work.

A trio of small terracotta pieces of timeless women, seeming to sit, dance, talk, give thanks. They’re titled Washing the Windows, Winding the Wool, Hanging out the Washing - women’s work celebrating into something special. A sculpture called Girl In the Rain. A young g girl, makes, stands with arms relaxed and mouth open, catching the rain.
