Congratulations Gemma Tizzard 🎉 🎈 📚 and Julia Silk

Totes recommend this Southbank Centre chat with Succession writers - went last night with Sheila Crighton and loved it!

A woman walked by while I was painting this and gave out to me for making her look so angry. She said it would be “much nicer with her looking happy.” I replied that she had a lot to be angry about.

Just caught up on this thread. How unbelievably bigoted, naïve irresponsible and cruel. Live M.E for just a month and you’ll see how ‘mythical’ it is. i am ME Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Support Myalgic Encephalo...

Receiving edit notes is a bit like having a mammogram - uncomfortable bordering on painful but an absolute privilege.

Much as I want a drink to toast this news, I've got to drive later, so am instead celebrating with some dark chocolate cherry liquors. How many do you think I can have and still be below the limit? So far, I'm up to nine. 🐷
