"He wanted to look but at the same time he felt disgust & held back. For a time he struggled & covered his eyes. Then desire got the better of him. He rushed over & forced his eyes wide open, saying 'There you are, curse you. Have a really good look. Isn’t it a lovely sight?'"

I have too many group chats going to stay innocent!

Also the tone of the author of the piece in her comment replies reads like a private PR team? Just weird all around. (I was gratified to see the comments digging in to the actual quality of the books themselves. The buyers are readers, even if the publisher doesn’t seem to treat them like it.)

I'm in London, pining for them!

I regret to inform you that they are absolutely amazing, and probably worth the wait, but go at 9am on a weekday for zero line.

Most people just have a vague sense of her as being famous. They don’t understand that any protocols that would cause emergency landing would get triggered before boarding even finished.

I love a fritter! Chopped green onion, herbs, a light batter, throw on some flaky salt when they’re still hot…
