I second this - Finisterre have some great wetsuit-fabric-but-swimsuit-shape stuff too and while they’re ££ they’re lovely, and more environmentally friendly that the petrol products most wetsuits are made of..

Also - there are no women on it. You can’t blame a lack of empathy or insight re women on online only when the only ones they come across in English are Lady Macbeth or Mrs Crachitt brave in ribbons.

IMHO it’s the Gove curriculum. It’s like it’s designed to kill the joy of reading. You can get a 15 yr old boy to do mad things with narrative if you talk to them about gaming. I’m trying to work out how to study gaming + narrative to complete an MA. When they realise storytelling is storytelling 🤯

I’m not v interested in it being ‘home’, but I get a wonderful warmth from remembering that it was ten years ago that I went to St George’s Park to interview the women’s team- and when I posted the piece I got days of angry tweets telling me they were all shit and the game would never amount to much

Happy Birthday Mr Smart! And thank you for all your kindness and attention looking at my son’s comic book on Saturday! It meant the world!

I have a v chic one from Wild Nutrition which makes me feel less like I’m held together by vitamin d and hope alone.

I think he’s incredibly versatile and didn’t want to be defined by it. I also think as a queer person dealing with all the right wing media about ‘sending the beloved doctor woke’ must be exhausting.

He was! The event was a big moment of “these are … my people” for him I think!

A highlight of the last seven days was your Brighton event with my son who decided to answer every question you had, shout suggestions about fish fingers and come up on stage - despite having been previously too shy to put his hand up about anything, ever!!
