My cat hissed at me for the very first time. My crime? I asked her to get out of the potato bed because she was crushing the shoots. She really wants to be in that potato bed!

I don’t think Dolly would have approved of me working 7 to 7 today.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.

This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?

It rained for 2-3 minutes here, and I tell you: the rejoicing was disproportionate.

Really quite excited to undertake my annual Booker longlist reading (in which I try and typically fail to read all the listees before the winner is announced). The past couple of years, my heart hasn’t been in it. But this year’s list has me ready to hit the bookshop.

It is sweltering! We did buy a little wheelie AC unit that we can drag around to make one room tolerable at a time, and this was an excellent investment—we can at least get a decent night of sleep rather than lying awake in existential and sweaty crisis 😂

How hot is it in our house? Our cat, despite being furnished with ice cube stations, has pioneered a new approach to moving about the hall: dragging her prone body along the carpet, for a considerable distance, using one claw.

At the theatre last night, I saw a teenaged kid wearing a tee shirt that read, in block capital letters, ‘ask me anything about Wolf Hall.’ Excellent quality of kid.

I’m thinking of entering #Eurovision next year doing a 3-minute abridged version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight read in Middle English, accompanied by a lute-playing John Cooper Clarke (who’ll hopefully agree to be paid on results). Surely an inexpensive way to 0 points or even 1. Any takers?
Picture showing a copy of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Michael Smith laid on top of a full colour linocut by him showing Sir Gawain riding his white horse.

Voted in my first local election after having become a citizen. Not too proud to say it made me a bit emotional, standing there in the church hall, voting for some really mediocre options.

Do drivers who stop in traffic and try to wave pedestrians across the road genuinely not understand that they are creating a really dangerous situation for everyone? This message brought to you by a lady who just screamed at me for not walking out into traffic at her insistence.

I hope one of the things we will take away from this moment is that if we want survivors to be able to come forward immediately, then we need to be willing to protect them no matter how much we like, respect, or fear their perpetrator.
