I've shocked myself and written 1,000 words today. They may not be good words, or the correct words but they are down there! Ably assisted by the #PhDachshund himself, Mr Twiglet❤️

I've been reading this superb book - Wifedom by Anna Funder. It's the story of George Orwell's wife - part bio, partly an exposition of how women subjugate themselves for their husbands. I urge you to read it, it is so good. And I wasn't a fan of Orwell before I started it, certainly not now.

The dogs are so bored and refuse to go out in the awful weather, so a likimat with yogurt helps a bit. Twiglet hogs it though!

Came across this intriguing picture, The Cemetery of Pere Lachaise by
John James Chalon. I'm interpreting it as Death being about to take the child too, what do you think? #death
