Thanks @elratdesigns.co.uk I'm the one who talked herself into getting a TM tote bag last night just so I could get my gorgeous printed copy of 'The Letter' home safely in the rain.

After being a fan of the music and Kristin Hersh for over three decades now, I finally saw Throwing Muses play live tonight in London. An amazing gig!

One of my favourite photos of Janis Joplin.

📷 Photographer: unknown, late 1960s

#janisjoplin
Black & white photo of Janis Joplin, wearing round glasses, sitting on a bed. She has a serious, studious, unsmiling expression, as if her picture has been taken candidly by the photographer.

If you're looking for a great page-turner whodunit this weekend, may I recommend Janice Hallett's debut 'The Appeal'. Thoroughly enjoyed every twist and turn!

Such a brilliant series (both novels and tv adaptation) and cast of characters, especially Jackson Lamb. Almost finished 'London Rules' ... #WorldBookDay #SlowHorses #MickHerron
Book 5 of the Slough House spy series by Mick Herron on my bookshelf. Front cover shows the London Eye silhouetted against a cyan blue background.

I'm definitely in the Lucy camp (Credit to David Bowie Reality fan page on fb)
Peanuts cartoon David Bowie meme. Schroeder, the young boy piano player, looks bemused as a grumpy Lucy in a pink dress reclining on his piano, evidently fed up with Christmas music, demands that he plays David Bowie songs instead.

I love this artist's work so much.

Artist: Andrea Kowch, 'Solitude'. Image shows a woman with red hair, wrapped in a winter coat, gloves, hat & dress with a black & white scarf blowing in the wind behind her. A stark rural winter landscape is in the background and starlings fly around the woman in a murmuration from the tree into the sky.
