Visited an outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore sculptures. Really enjoyed the juxtaposition of contemporary art and nature in the gardens. This one was my favourite #art #HenryMoore #sculpture

Ed Sheeran says he doesn't take sides, ten days after a billionaire stadium owner and a bloc of venues made clear which side he'd be taking. Macklemore is gone from the tour and Sheeran keeps the dates, the money, and the story he tells himself about staying above it all. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Finally watched Gladiator II - a bit silly though not bad overall but imo a strange choice to cast that guy as the lead - zero charisma, no presence. Makes you realise just how mesmerising Russell Crowe was as Maximus

It’s the fifth heatwave, a single leaf on one of my Japanese maples/acers has turned a startling red, a beacon, a lodestar, a vibrant reminder that this sweltering, uncomfortable, interminable summer will end, that Autumn will come, and it will be glorious 🍁🍂🍁 #gardening #ukheatwave

I’m not surprised she’s reminded of forbidden lovers💔 #booksky #FridayFling prompt ‘rotate’, from Heir to the Throne #3 Book 1: books2read.com/Aaryana1 first 4 chapters at the end of this🆓 book: books2read.com/CTTK

A ribbon of water was rotating on the spot, a spring made of liquid. What made the sight so mesmerising was the flame that was loosely wound around it.
They reminded her of forbidden lovers. Unable to touch, unable to stay away.

Put some household/decor stuff I no longer wanted outside, checked 30 minutes later and it was all gone. Love it when that happens, always annoying to bring unwanted stuff back in

Happy #PoemsAbout day everyone. I am going for #CharityShop instead of #ThriftStore as I'm British, so forgive me. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry #poem

The Scarf

Found folded in a charity shop bin,
smelling faintly of lavender and dust.
Each stitch hums a name I’ll never know
fingers that looped love into wool.

Now I wear it,
and it warms me twice:

once from the yarn,
once from the memory
of being made
for someone.

A piece of mine is up at Mushroom Rain, a new kid on the block that I recommend submitting to because of its unique format. A public place for private notes, as Beth described it. mushroomrain.org

Often a weird sensation to read a poem I wrote a few years ago - I know I wrote it, but because I’m not in the same sort of mood/mindset I was in when I wrote it, it feels like someone else did. Might edit it and submit it, might not. Not even sure if I like it 🤔

I’d submitted a few months ago & realised I hadn’t heard anything back - was convinced it was a rejection but thought I’d better check - turns out the lovely editor had overlooked my submission & although it’s too late to be published this year it will be next year - glad I chased up ✨

I love all hydrangeas but there’s something ethereally glorious about white ones imo. I’m so glad I planted this in my tiny garden, has really become a focal point #nature #gardening #bloomscrolling

a tortured musician🎸 a girl with a secret🤫 a romance between complex characters🖤 books2read.com/SoulmatesSaga1 5⭐️ The way it’s written is excellent 5⭐️ Loved the London setting, that London itself becomes a key character 5⭐️ Main characters are cleverly crafted, impeccable #booksky #romancelandia

Moodboard titled “Soulmates Saga” with seven images: A close up of a young woman’s face wearing a blue diamond pendant necklace. The back of a young woman at an easel, painting in an art studio. A young man playing the guitar in the dark. A close up of a young woman resting her head on her arm. A young couple standing in each other’s arms in a cornfield. A close up of a young man playing the piano. A young couple standing in a snow-covered field, kissing.

The moodboard has a short pitch of the novel Soulmates Saga Book 1 underneath it, which reads, “Still reeling from their heartbreaking pasts, Mukti and Jamie are blocking the world out, not letting anyone in-the only people they can't keep out is each other.
Can they move forward together-or do some ghosts haunt us forever?” And the story’s tag line printed above the moodboard reads, “would you recognise true love if you saw it?”
