Every single event in the Winter Olympics is completely bonkers! My heart is in my mouth, worrying that there might be a fatality! Who thought that going head first round an icy track at high speed on what amounts to a tea tray was a good idea?! 🫣

Really enjoyed Autumn by Ali Smith. It’s a quick, easy read but is clever and funny. Bonus points for featuring Pauline Boty who deserves to be better known. #autumn #alismith #justread #booksky #booksky💙📚 #paulineboty

Is it me or do these mushrooms look more like a loofah?! Does anyone under 40 even know what a loofah is?! #lionsmanemushrooms #loofah #mushrooms

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell is genuinely scary and hugely enjoyable! Spooky and twisty - I did not guess the ending! #silentcompanions #laurapurcell #booksky #booksky📚💙

A lovely day out at Brompton Cemetery, the final resting place of many fascinating people including Emmeline Pankhurst and Marchesa Luisa Casati. They also have very eerie catacombs! #bromptoncemetary #emmelinepankhurst #catacombs #marchesaluisacasati

Our street is getting new pavements! The 8am pneumatic drilling and angle grinding is not good for the nervous system but I’m sure it will be nice when it’s finished!! #eastlondon #chasingpavements #onmystreet

A funny and enjoyable satire on the publishing industry with some serious ideas about identity, success and self image. #yellowface #rfkuang #justread #booksky #booksky💙📚

This book has some lovely descriptions of the beauty of our planet and the destruction of it by humans but I found it repetitive and ultimately unsatisfying #orbital #booksky #booksky💙📚#justread

On my walk today: Beautiful but sad public art sculpture of a blue whale at Wood Wharf, made from ocean plastic washed up on the beaches of Hawaii. How are we continuing to destroy the natural world in this way? #publicart #bluewhale #oceanplastic #londondocklands #onmywalktoday #noplanetb

Absolutely loved this book! Written like a detective novel, it’s a satire on racism and stereotypes and is both heartbreaking and very funny. Quite an achievement! #booksky #booksky💙📚 #percivaleverett #thetrees

Although I enjoyed reading Birnam Wood, it just wasn’t as thrilling or gripping as I’d hoped. Not enough new to say about the battle between the natural world and greed. Certainly nothing to match The Luminaries which I devoured. #birnamwood #eleanorcatton #booksky #booksky💙📚

So sad. It was next to my school and we had the use of it for our drama and music lessons. It’s also where I saw my first ever Shakespeare play: an RSC touring production of Twelfth Night with Ian McKellen, Bob Peck and Roger Rees. What’s the future for the Performing Arts? #performingarts #oldham

I do love a bit of crime fiction and, as always, P D James adds extra layers, subtly weaving her comments on gender roles and class structures within the mystery. #pdjames #booksky #booksky💙📚 #crimefiction

I love this painting from the recent Great Mughals exhibition at the V&A. It tickles me when people get upset about men dressing in what is seen to be a feminine way. This stylish prince looks resplendent in his pink leggings, tutu and pearls in 1630. #greatmughals #mensstyle #genderfluiddressing

Remembering Sylvia Pankhurst on what would have been her birthday. Born into a middle class family in Manchester but became a champion of the working class in East London. She was also a talented artist as well as fighting for votes for women. #sylviapankhurst #suffragettes #eastlondon #OTD #shero

Part historical fiction part ghost story, I really enjoyed this sensual tale of two lives intertwining across the centuries. It’s also got a lot of interesting things to say about poverty and social attitudes, especially towards women. #thewalworthbeauty #booksky #booksky📚💙 #historicalfiction
