Got caught in a rain storm buying the new Philip Pullman book. Might have been more poetic if that had happened happened when I picked up a copy of La Belle Sauvage.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.
