Reason 3743 of why I love my husband:

When he buys an sneaky iced coffee for me, because he knows I am a fan, and hides it in the fridge so I don't see it until the morning 🥹☕🧊

Isobel McArthur's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was stellar this evening!

It's Austen but as a freshly mixed comedy 🤩

Highly recommend: prideandprejudicesortof.com

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

BIG Up Kate Bush and the other musicians who stepped up like this. I was surprised at the amount of creatives who didn’t realise that this affects ALL OF US!
