You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Reading the Voyage of the Beagle at the mo, and among many fantastic moments is the one when Charles Darwin starts panicking because he thinks he's been served veal, which he thinks is barbaric - but it turns out it's okay! It's just puma!!!

Went to the Natural History Museum to look at dinosaurs and taxidermy birds and things in jars. Late lunch/early dinner at Kensington Creperie. Hours in a very floral pub I can’t remember the name of, awkward hug goodbye at Gloucester Road Station. Twelve hours together. Absolutely smitten.
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.

On our first date, my spouse and I spent like an hour talking about footnotes.

reading about this petty and wildly undignified beef between rival biographers of poet laureate John Betjeman
![Betjeman letter hoax (edit ] In August 2006 a rival biography of Betjeman was published by A. N. Wilson. It was later discovered to contain a hoax letter, purportedly by Betjeman, but actually containing an acrostic insulting Wilson. The letter had been sent to Wilson by "Eve de Harben", an anagram of "Ever been had?", and the first letters of each sentence, beginning with the second sentence, spelled out the message "A. N. Wilson is a shit." Hillier was an immediate suspect for the literary forgery: the Sunday Times article revealing the hoax was accompanied by a prominent picture of Hillier and noted that an envelope containing a letter supposedly from de Harben to the newspaper had been bought in Winchester, his home town. 5l Hillier initially denied responsibility, but soon admitted that he had written the letter. He explained that he had been angered by Wilson's negative review of the second volume of his biography of Betjeman, and by pre-publication publicity for Wilson's own biography.[6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ng53ikph73puxk3z4hova3a6/bafkreifqnnjsgucc5v5pj2tj6n2glvvd5atfjx2rr64mxytd3ylurrhaxi@jpeg)

Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay £15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like we’ve always done.

Also a duel in the Pickwick Papers was fought there (because Dickens lived five minutes away when he was a child), and it was both a Napoleonic-era fort and a military hospital.

“Boogie woogie” is our command to switch the lights on in the living room. Partner is trying to set up a profile that switches all the other lights off but is struggling and refuses to accept my suggestion of “bugle boy”.

Bird’s route to my lap for his daily seven minute fuss (never longer) now involves climbing over Partner with a callous disregard. He will not approach from my side of the sofa, but has to make it clear to P that he is the less desirable of the humans.
