Currently watching Les Misérables and cannot get it out of my head that it should have Muppets in it.

Still my favourite Powell&Pressburger film. So eccentric and so emotionally rich. If the ending doesn’t generate a lump in your throat, you are officially dead inside 🤣❤️

A film I enjoyed recently: Robert Bresson's 'Lancelot du Lac' (1974).
Almost the antithesis 'Excalibur', it strips out much of the sword and sorcery associated with modern treatments of chivalric romance, but what's left is something uniquely hypnotic and altogether quite strange.

Funny sort of democracy where the question over whether a foreign government agent gives election-warping sums of money to a fascist in an effort to direct the future of a supposely sovereign nation, from its so-called paper of record, is "will he" rather than "can he".

“There’s more water carried along the roads in lorries than runs in our streams.”
How has it come to this: that private companies are licensed to abstract water from aquifers below parched regions, then sell it back in bottles to those who live & struggle there?

‘It’s not drought - it’s looting’: the Spanish villages where people are forced to buy back their own drinking water
Spain is increasingly either parched or flooded – and one group is profiting from these extremes: the water-grabbing multinational companies forcing angry citizens to pay for it in bottles

To have confirmation through this stunning photo that the lower River Roding around Wanstead, Ilford & Barking now has the most urban otters in London is such a treat.
This photo shows so clearly why we need to do everything in our power to protect & restore this sacred river.

Very pleased to have photographed an Otter today along the River Roding at Wanstead. Even just a few years ago I thought it wouldn’t be possible to witness this on a London river!

John Cowper Powys is so criminally underrated. His books should be in print and y’all should read them! Sprawling, intuitive and erotic, they are the best kinds of novels… #BookSky💙📚
