Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).
When columnist Melanie Reid wrote about struggling to find a hairdresser after her spinal injury, 98 year old art historian and socialite Virginia Surtees wrote to her (on a typewriter) offering to taxi round her wigs from her flat in Knightsbridge. I can sleep now.

Fantastic Niamh!
Thanks. Just delighted with that Wordsworth poem -it’s so modern. Still how I feel coming upon St Paul’s today though fewer empty streets! Thanks for sharing it.
That worked -thank-you! New to Substack.
Thanks I’ll try that!
Want to read a great short poem about London that you've probably never read before? In which Wordsworth sort of sounds like T.S. Eliot? And there's an iambic pentameter entirely made of adjectives for a snowy city street? I have it all right here for you someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/deep-hollo...
Writers! Do you have a masterpiece handy? ...
