Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You’ll be entertained by this thread, @irmuir.bsky.social 120
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The bus indicator just up from Brixton is bust again. Come on TFL, sort it out. Hundreds and hundreds of people rely on it. 010
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I really hope the publication of biographies of Anita Brookner and Barbara Cartland at more of less the same time creates a literary Barbenheimer effect. 4409
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 23/09/2026At the bottom of the Lambeth Parking Visitors Permit online form is a box which, if ticked, means the details of a visitor’s car are saved. But when you tick the box, the Email (optional) box turns red and the words ‘this field required’. No explanation why of course. It’s a mad world, my masters. 020
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A friend waiting for a train has just sent me this report from the platform: ‘Someone has just walked past pulling a trolley thing full of stuff. There is a book poking out, title. Why Eating Bogeys Is Good For You.’ 071
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If you see this, post a picture of your younger self with a dog. 090

Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If tomato plants have done me the courtesy of growing vigorously and throwing out fruit I think it’s unfair to lop their growing tip after seven tresses (or whatever it is.) I am six foot five inches so that Black Cherry is over seven ft and still yielding the most deliciously sweet globes. 1130
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 12/09/2026One of the proudest moments of my life was seizing the opportunity in an underground carpark near the Barbican to tell Julia Gillard that I thought Colin From Accounts was a wonderful advertisement for Australia. 1140
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Make a band edible: The Rolling Scones @levparikian.bsky.social 020
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Things I was frightened of as a child. Big Ears. When he appeared on stage in Noddy in Toyland (1958/9) I ran out of theatre. Our house burning down. The teeth of horses. Planes dropping out of the sky. Heaven having no end. Frank Mitchell, ‘the mad axe man.’ The tank testing ground at Chobham 350
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 08/09/2026My old Book 4 colleague and friend Hermione Lee in the subway below Herne Hill station looking at the only public memorial to Anita Brookner, who grew up in Herne Hill and is the subect of Hermione’s latest biography. 2184
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I’ve just discovered that the poem recited in the film Carve Her Name With Pride (1958) which begins ‘The life that I have Is all that I have,’ used as a code by Violette Szabo on a SOE mission to France, was written in 1943 by Leo Marks who went on to write Peeping Tom (1960) for Michael Powell 📽️⚡️🩸 3163

Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 27/08/2026My timeline has been flooded with posts about Japanese meals like this. I suppose I have to chalk it down to Russian interference. 020
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I am inordinately proud of this, the spoil heap I designed for the Trig Lane archaeological site in 1974. We used organic matter from the excavation to grow cabbages and flowers on its terraces. @jonwoolcott.bsky.social @jaketilson.bsky.social 3120
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Psychomania with my oldest friend. Deliriously enjoyable. 330

Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Can’t think of many pictures with the word ‘gherkin’ in the title, but here’s ’Still-life with Gooseberries, Red Currants, Spring Onions, a Gherkin and Foliage’ by Richard Dadd, 1874. 0122
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Sketch of an Idea for Crazy Jane by Richard Dadd. The birds have the same ominous quality as the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. @regretteruane.bsky.social 180
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Please admire the Maginot Line that I constructed this morning in an attempt to defeat the cabbage whites that have been attacking our brassicas. 1170
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack in your head. #FilmSky 260
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 18/08/2026The Govt’s Community and Engagement Survey, which I was seduced into filling out by the prospect of a £10 shopping voucher, has taken a bleak turn… 070
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Water from a ruptured pipe still running down Brixton Hill after seven days. The incompetence of Thames Water beggars belief. 170
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 14/08/2026F***ing cabbage whites are getting through the mesh of my netting and gorging on young brassicas. Do any of you allotmenteers have a solution please ? 442
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I have been hamstrung by Microsoft’s prudish censorship again. I read ‘Offa’s Dyke’ into the microphone but it transcribed it as Offa’s ****’ 351
Jamie Muir @jamiembrixton.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Isn’t it time for a huge, angry climate change demonstration, with a ban on clever clogs placard slogans? 020
