Good to see review in the FT Weekend of @amwilson.bsky.social’s book “Someone Else’s Music.”
Expert analysis, and refreshingly hopeful. (Do follow all the Freedmans - we'd be in a much better place if @judithfreedman.bsky.social, @samfr.bsky.social and @ldfreedman.bsky.social were running the country 😀)
Me too. Nice to look at but tedious.

So *very* pleased that you’re here!
It would be a good deal more interesting than some of the current story lines!
Did Lizzie or Freddie wish Lily happy birthday?
Eynsham park and ride car park near Oxford has been completed but cannot be used because no road has been built to connect it to the main A40.
I always liked this, in the much missed Boswells store in Oxford:

caenhillcc.bsky.social for lovely farm animals. Also george-station-cat.bsky.social for a splendid cat!
Well, I finished it and liked it almost to the end but I found the very snide depiction of loosely disguised Keir Starmer very unnecessary

At a restaurant in Naples they opened the door, explained that they were not yet open but welcomed us in, sat us down and gave us prosecco on the house!
Well, I’m loving Clown Town so I wonder if I’ll agree with you about the Pynchon. I read V and The Crying of Lot 49 in 1968 to impress a boyfriend and hated them!
Oh dear, I’m just about to start it. What do you think of the Zoe Boehm books?
Happy birthday!
What do you think? Let’s see yours.
Arnica tablets help you heal quickly, I never leave home without them! After recent cataract surgery my new specs cost a fortune but I chose very jazzy frames. I thought a bit Su Pollard but Son said very Prue Leith which I took as a compliment.
Ooh, Betty’s! <envy>
When I was little my dad used to call me Fanny By Gaslight but I don’t think he could have envisioned a future as a Bond girl for a chubby four year old…thank you for reminding me 😍
Wonderful! Especially the woodbine. I hate gardening but love reading about it 😀
In an Archers group I used to frequent such ridiculous announcements were called flounces and people would post pictures of suitable clothing for the occasion, often very frilly dresses.
I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time. Sending a big virtual hug.
My Goodreads review says I enjoyed the book but 3 months later I can’t remember anything about it. I liked Assembly very much too. I mostly ignore titles but have just been irritated by And Notre Dame is Burning which is a really silly title for the book it’s attached to.
Don’t miss the Bean, Anish Kapoor’s brilliant sculpture, it’s near the wonderful Art Institute. The Museum of Science and Industry is good. And go to Ghirardelli’s for ice cream. But the architecture boat tour is our top thing, we do it on every visit.
That is brilliant! Pity the gloves aren’t black, though.
OMG! Mondegreen! I always thought he was singing “We’re going north to the Russia zone”!
