Croydon Council declared bankruptcy in 2020 and the Labour administration which had started Brick by Brick as an attempt to be bolder in housebuilding had to cancel all remaining projects. This one being the last one to come to fruition. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

With every passing season of The Great British Bake Off it becomes more apparant that the judge that really needs replacing is Hollywood. His complete lack of engagement with this years batch of contestants is the most apparant yet.

This nonsense monster has been so affectionate and vocal since we returned from a week's holiday that I think she's been replaced. Perhaps she spent her week of boredom (sleep) to read the terms and conditions and now has many queries and complaints.

I'm reading this at the moment which has a very good section on why Liverpool's post war house building was way more conservative than the city's (perhaps someone undeserved) radical assumed character.

If anyone had any sympathy for the stupid racist village in Oxfordshire, let it be know they invite that vile racist to the village. A plague on all their houses.

I see it formed part of a programme at the BFI by Mark Jenkin on The Cinematic DNA of Enys Men which makes a lot of sense. Pleased that the talk also namechecked Adam Scovell a lot. His talk last year at Dead Ink was the last time I made a similar amount of notes.
