First exhibition of 2025 - Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour. Superbly-curated but Bell’s work felt hugely derivative - her style veering erratically between Rembrandt, Cézanne, Matisse, even a nod to Kandinsky - without mastering any.
Textbook class privilege.

Loving the 25% increase on the cost of a bus trip into town.
Happy Back To Work Day to all who are participating - and a shout out to all the bus drivers explaining government price caps to disgruntled passengers.

Really love the NHS text message updates telling me where my donated blood has gone. Genius idea.

A work colleague, who drew my name in our team Secret Santa, heard me raving about the @britishlibrary.bsky.social
Irish Writers Weekend so he researched which writers took part to help his book buying for my present 📚
What wonderful choices!

A poignant coincidence to have been reading Caoilinn Hughes’ The Wild Laughter as UK politicians voted in favour of assisted dying.
Gorgeously written, as you’d expect from a poet-turned-writer, with deliciously dislikeable characters and laugh-out-loud dark humour.

A wonderful day at @britishlibrary.bsky.social for its Irish Writers Weekend in the company of some of my favourite living writers, including Donal Ryan, Eimear McBride and Lisa McInerney. Discovered exciting new writers and poets to check out too.
