Smashing MSND @chichesterft.bsky.social - wild fun unboring and looked amazing. Shoutout to Titania and Bottom but everyone was fab. Deserves a transfer! Antigone Exits was muddled and frankly in parts deeply offensive.

The chocolate was delicious, and I tried not to feel guilty while I ate it, for stealing your precious ration."

General question- where are the climate change ministers in all this? WHO are they, have they spoken, and what are they doing? I think we should be told. Not lighting a B-B-Q is not the answer.

@wigmore-hall.org.uk hi loving this Partitas concert! Happy birthday! For your celebrations how about making the hall more comfortable for punters? The middle seats are veal crate tiny - so unless you get an aisle it’s not worth going.

Wonderful concert at kings place - Caroline Shaw and Andrew Yee. Such poise, calm, fire and talent.
France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

🎉Happy birthday to Julia Maesa — a formidable political strategist & one of the most influential women in #Roman imperial politics! Elder sister of Julia Domna, sister-in-law to Septimius Severus, aunt to Caracalla & Geta, & grandmother to two emperors: Elagabalus & Severus Alexander.
Pleased with myself! Hemmed in by a massive 4 by 4 and unable to get into drivers seat of my car, couldn’t inch over from passenger seat as two new knees not up to it, had brainy wheeze to corral a kind man, released handbrake and he pushed. Result! Home in time for Repair shop.
@tommckinney.bsky.social viz paperback / hardback paperbacks always! Apart from heavy reference works there’s no Need for hbs. They don’t sell. Paperbacks nowadays are beautiful light pocketable - see Daunt/Fitzcarraldo/ Persephone etc.
Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post
Happy Easter! Life imitating art. Fresco of dish of eggs from the Praedia of Julia Felix, #Pompeii and an exhibit of eggs that astonishingly survived the AD 79 eruption in Herculaneum. 🥚🥚🥚
@boatmancryptics.co.uk three-quarters done! And I dreamt one answer …(r***** c*****). Phew!
Finishing Glorious Exploits. Can’t bear to. What a 📕!
A super-rare Sherlock Holmes novel just raised £11,000 for Oxfam 📚 It sold at auction with first editions of “Pride and Prejudice” and "A Clockwork Orange,” and a copy of “Stride Toward Freedom” signed by Martin Luther King Jr. himself. All proceeds from the sale went to Oxfam 💫 #FoundInOxfam
@georgiamann.bsky.social I’m with the chap you just quoted. Went to a come and sing at the German church Knightsbridge lately. Mind blowing ! And the choir director is doing SJP at St Giles cripple gate this fri evening. A must.
Keir Starmer has dragged the UK into this war against our will. UK bases face further attacks - putting military personnel and civilians in the potential line of fire. This is a Prime Minister who promised a vote before any military action - that must now happen on Monday.
This is absolutely brilliant. Instigated by Gordon Brown, delivered today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@willnorman.co.uk Hey just saw I won’t be able to take my e-bike on the overground anymore. Fair enough. Please can you in return attend to the bicycle boxes on the roads and make them motorbike free? Then it’ll be safer all round and my extended ride won’t seem so scary.
