Got on a number 10 bus a few days ago at 5pm for a long journey. To a lovely event tbf. But the condensation on the inside of the windows, the coughing, spluttering and sneezing. The Horror. The Horror. Between window wipes did get some good looks into people's houses though.

It's the one about why women weren't allowed pockets. Because they would be able to carry things to spread sedition. It's all about exhorting women to make their own dangerous coats with pockets.

And that's no disrespect to the good people at the library. They are all amazing places. Sanctuaries. Popped into Hillhead recently. It was mobbed. All ages, races. But from literal marbled halls to an 80s. Shopping centre. Quite the leap. Have a great gig.
