When I opened my first bank account in the UK, Natwest asked me if I wanted my cheque-book to support some sort of wildlife charity. I said, yeah, sure. My cheques had squirrels on them. I sympathise with the people who don’t want squirrels on their money.
I would read the hell out of those

A lady of a certain age. The last time I saw the old man. Our mutual friend. I want you. Your daddy‘s car. The Mar-a-Lago cocktail interlude. Bang goes the knighthood. Our mutual friend. The heart is a lonely hunter. Invisible thread. TONIGHT WE FLY!

Happy to live in a country that has stood up to Trump.
Three bricks. Rainwater. Broken glass. Christmas clementines. These are vomited across our limestone floor.
For me it’ll always bring to mind 1980s South African alternative band Petit Cheval. open.spotify.com/track/5HXUEp...
Nice of Saga to give Harrison Ford an award.
